Safety PLC Fiber Optic Solution – ICS Triplex T8314 | Trusted TMR Series
The ICS Triplex T8314 is a Trusted Fiber TX/RX Module engineered for Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) safety instrumented systems. When a refinery control engineer needs to extend a safety loop across a hazardous area boundary without introducing electrical noise or ground loops, the T8314 is the specified solution — converting digital I/O signals to fiber optic transmission with full SIL-rated integrity. It slots directly into the Trusted TMR chassis, maintaining the system’s fault-tolerant architecture while enabling long-distance, EMI-immune communication.
Where This Product Is Used
- Oil & Gas Refineries: Extending ESD (Emergency Shutdown) loops across process units where electrical isolation is mandatory
- Offshore Platforms: Connecting topside safety controllers to subsea or remote wellhead panels via fiber runs
- LNG & Petrochemical Plants: Linking TMR safety controllers to remote I/O racks in classified hazardous areas
- Power Generation: Turbine protection systems requiring high-speed, noise-immune signal transmission between control rooms and turbine halls
- Chemical Processing: Reactor safety interlock systems where galvanic isolation between control and field equipment is required
- Water & Wastewater: Distributed safety systems across large treatment facilities with long cable runs
