ICS Triplex T8472

ICS Triplex T8472

Product Brief Introduction: T8472 is TMR triple‑modular‑redundant expansion processor module for Trusted safety system. It cooperates with main processor module to expand system logic‑processing capacity, support larger‑scale safety‑logic program execution and more I/O‑point resource management. This module implements HIFT hardware‑based fault‑tolerant architecture, supports hot‑swap online maintenance, provides multi‑channel communication interfaces, and obtains IEC 61508 SIL 3 safety certification for large‑scale distributed Trusted safety‑instrumented‑system deployment.

Working Principle: Three independent processor slices inside T8472 receive identical safety‑logic application‑program and I/O‑data from Trusted IMB backplane bus. Three slices execute logic‑computation synchronously and independently. Hardware‑voting circuit completes 2‑out‑of‑3 voting for operation‑results. Valid voting‑results output to IMB backplane bus for I/O‑module drive‑control and upper‑system data‑upload. On‑board monitoring circuit continuously monitors running‑state of each processor slice. When single slice generates hardware‑fault, faulty slice gets automatically isolated, and remaining two slices maintain normal voting‑operation. SOE module captures system‑wide signal‑change events with 1 ms time‑stamp precision and stores data inside NVRAM memory. Communication interfaces realize protocol‑data interaction with external upper‑monitoring‑system. Fault‑events generate timestamp‑mark and transmit to main system fault historian.
