Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original T8100 is unavailable or under evaluation, the following models are commonly considered as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements. Always verify electrical and firmware compatibility before substitution.
| Model | Manufacturer | Compatibility Notes |
|---|---|---|
| T8100 | ICS Triplex | Original — direct match |
| T8110 | ICS Triplex | Enhanced chassis variant; verify slot count |
| T8120 | ICS Triplex | Extended I/O chassis; confirm backplane pinout |
| TC-CCR01 | Honeywell Safety Manager | Functional equivalent for SIL 3 TMR; different form factor |
| SC300E | Triconex (Schneider) | Cross-brand TMR alternative; requires full system re-engineering |
Note: Cross-brand replacements require full system validation. Konmask recommends consulting your safety engineer before substitution.

System Compatibility
The T8100 chassis is designed to host ICS Triplex Trusted series modules. Verified compatible components include:
- T8151 / T8152 — Trusted TMR Digital Input Modules
- T8161 / T8162 — Trusted TMR Digital Output Modules
- T8431 / T8432 — Trusted TMR Analog Input Modules
- T8800 — Trusted Communications Module
- T8310 — Trusted Power Supply Module
Confirm chassis slot count and backplane revision before ordering I/O modules for retrofit projects.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the T8100 is the right chassis for your application:
- Safety Level Required: SIL 2 or SIL 3 → T8100 qualifies
- Redundancy Requirement: TMR (2oo3 voting) → T8100 is purpose-built
- I/O Module Count: Verify slot capacity matches your I/O module count
- Existing System: Replacing a Trusted series chassis → T8100 is direct fit
- New Project: Consult Konmask for full BOM and system design support
- Budget Constraint: Contact us for refurbished / tested units with warranty

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the T8100 chassis be used as a direct replacement for an older Trusted chassis?
A: In most cases yes, provided the backplane revision and slot count match. Contact us with your existing chassis part number for confirmation.
Q: Is the T8100 still in production?
A: ICS Triplex products are now managed under Rockwell Automation. Availability varies — Konmask maintains stock of both new and refurbished units.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 4–8 weeks. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Do you provide a Certificate of Conformance?
A: Yes. A CoC and functional test report are included with every shipment upon request.
Q: Can I use third-party I/O modules in the T8100 chassis?
A: The T8100 is designed exclusively for ICS Triplex Trusted series modules. Third-party modules are not supported and may void safety certification.
