The ICS T8 series is a TRIPLEX product line under ICS Corporation

The ICS T8 series is part of the TRIPLEX product line under ICS Corporation, known for its high reliability and safety. It is widely used in industrial fields with extremely high safety requirements, such as petrochemicals, electricity, nuclear power, aerospace, etc. Here are some typical product introductions in the ICS T8 series:

Processor class

-T8110B: A highly reliable industrial grade programmable logic controller (PLC) that uses triple module redundancy (TMR) technology, where three identical processor modules run the same program simultaneously, ensuring system reliability through voting. On the hardware layer, a fault-tolerant design (HIFT) is implemented to ensure rapid system recovery in the event of a failure. Equipped with self diagnostic function, it can monitor the system status in real-time. Supports IEC 61131-3 programming, making it convenient for users to develop programs using multiple programming languages; It also has rich I/O interfaces and supports IRIG-B time synchronization. Suitable for control of petrochemical production processes, control of power generation and distribution systems, safety control of nuclear power plants, and other scenarios.

-T8110C: A high-performance and reliable fault-tolerant processor based on the PowerPC architecture, with a clock speed of up to 400 MHz, providing powerful processing capabilities. Using the same triple redundancy architecture, three independent processor cores run the same program simultaneously and vote on the results. Even if one of the processors fails, the system can still run normally. Adopting strict fault detection and correction mechanisms, in compliance with the IEC 61508 standard, suitable for key application areas such as aerospace (aircraft navigation, flight control, and engine control systems), railway (railway signal, train control, and track control systems), power (power protection, grid management, and power station control systems), medical (medical equipment, life support systems, and patient monitoring systems), etc.

Controller class

-T8850c: A modular and scalable controller based on a 32-bit RISC processor, with high-speed scanning speed and powerful computing power. Using a dual core 64 bit processor, running the ICS Triplex OS operating system. By connecting the fiber optic FAbus module to the main unit, remote units can be added for I/O module expansion, achieving high spectral fidelity; Equipped with triple redundancy, providing high reliability and fault tolerance; Supports multiple input/output types and configuration options. As a safety system controller, it ensures the safety and reliability of critical processes and is widely used in process control systems, safety instrumented systems, oil and gas processing, offshore oil extraction, and other fields.

-T8850: Equipped with Intel Core i5/i7/i3 processors, it supports up to 16GB of DDR4 memory (some models have 8GB of built-in DDR4 memory), supports up to 64GB of memory expansion, and has 256GB of SSD storage built-in, providing powerful and stable computing power. Supports multiple independent display outputs, powered by DC 12V~24V, with a working temperature range of -20 ℃ to 60 ℃. Modular design facilitates expansion and maintenance, adopting a Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture to ensure high reliability and redundancy; Supports multiple communication interfaces such as RS232, RS485, USB, Ethernet, as well as various communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP and Profibus. Mainly used in industrial automation control systems, robot control systems, intelligent building systems, intelligent transportation systems, and other fields.

Digital input module class

-T8480C: A multifunctional module designed for industrial control systems, using triple redundancy architecture (TMR), supporting 16 digital inputs and outputs, ensuring that the system can continue to operate in the event of a single channel failure. It also has built-in diagnostic and fault detection functions. Capable of receiving signals from sensors, switches, or other digital input sources, performing high-precision logical judgments and control operations, and supporting hot swapping. Suitable for industrial automation and control systems such as chemical, petroleum, natural gas, and power industries, as well as safety systems such as emergency shutdown systems (ESD), fire and gas detection, and high-temperature protection systems. Another introduction points out that a single module can provide 40 digital input points, with input types configurable as NPN, PNP, voltage, and other types. The working temperature is -20 ℃~+60 ℃, with a protection level of IP20. It supports multiple communication protocols such as ControlNet and DeviceNet, and is used for signal acquisition, data transmission, and fault diagnosis in fields such as process control, machine automation, building automation, and water treatment.
