ICS TRIPLEX T8480C Digital Input Module – Trusted Safety System Series
Imagine a critical process plant where a single undetected digital signal fault cascades into an unplanned shutdown — or worse, a safety incident. In high-hazard industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation, the integrity of every digital input channel is non-negotiable. The ICS TRIPLEX T8480C Digital Input Module was engineered precisely to eliminate that risk, delivering fault-tolerant signal acquisition that keeps your safety instrumented system (SIS) online and your process under control.
Within the ICS TRIPLEX Trusted Safety System (TSS) platform, the T8480C occupies a foundational role as the primary field-signal interface for discrete inputs. Designed to IEC 61508 SIL 2/3 requirements, this module is globally recognized across TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) architectures deployed in some of the world’s most demanding process environments. Its proven track record in LNG terminals, offshore platforms, and nuclear auxiliary systems has made it a benchmark component in functional safety engineering.
