ICS Triplex T8480 is a highly reliable Triple module redundancy (TMR) analog output module used in industrial automation and control systems. The module has 40 channels, each of which provides accurate analog signal output, while ensuring system stability and security through triple redundancy technology. The T8480 module is designed to connect a variety of field devices, including those that generate analog and digital input signals, as well as output devices that require digital signals up to 28 Vdc.
Key features of the T8480 module include:
40 configurable channels that can be set as input or output.
Supports industry standard field device connections, including 2-wire or 3-wire connections.
Standard DIN rail compatibility for easy installation and connection.
Operating voltage range is 18 Vdc to 28 Vdc.
The field power supply is divided into 5 groups of 8 channels each and offers the option to power each group from a controlled output.
Each channel has a fusion-protected on-site power supply.
In addition, the T8480 module adopts anti-interference technology, which has strong anti-interference ability, and can ensure the stability and accuracy of the output signal. This highly reliable design is particularly suitable for safety-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable, such as oil and gas production, chemical production, power systems, transportation control systems, and nuclear power plants and military command systems.
The module also features automatic overcurrent protection without external fuses and built-in event sequence (SOE) reports with a resolution of 1ms, providing an accurate record of system state changes. The T8480 module also supports hot swap, using a dedicated Companion Slot or SmartSlot configuration to enable online module replacement without affecting system operation.
In terms of maintenance and troubleshooting, the T8480 offers a full range of automatic diagnostic and self-test functions, including the measurement of current and voltage, as well as the detection of faults such as jamming faults for each output channel. The LED indicator on the front panel provides a status display for each output point, while the module status LED indicates the module’s health and mode.
Overall, ICS Triplex T8480 is a high-performance, highly reliable analog output module designed to meet the stringent requirements for precise control and safe operation in industrial automation and control systems
