Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original T9100 is discontinued, obsolete, or unavailable, the following models may serve as functional replacements or equivalents depending on your system configuration. Always validate compatibility with your system integrator before substitution.
- ICS TRIPLEX T9110 – Enhanced processor variant; same base form factor, upgraded firmware support
- ICS TRIPLEX T9200 – Next-generation TMR processor; backward-compatible I/O in most configurations
- Triconex 3008 / 3009 (Schneider Electric) – Industry-standard TMR alternative; requires I/O adapter evaluation
- Hima F3 SOE / F60 – SIL 3 TMR alternative for greenfield or retrofit projects
- Yokogawa ProSafe-RS – Compatible safety PLC for DCS-integrated safety loops
⚠ Important: Replacement compatibility depends on firmware version, I/O module types, and safety loop certification. Consult your system documentation or contact Konmask for a pre-sales compatibility assessment.
Why Choose the Original T9100 Model
- Proven TMR Architecture: Triple redundancy ensures no single point of failure — critical for SIL 3 safety loops in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation.
- Drop-in Compatibility: Maintains full backward compatibility with existing ICS TRIPLEX I/O modules and chassis — zero re-engineering for like-for-like replacement.
- Certified Safety Performance: TÜV-certified SIL 3 rating eliminates re-certification costs when replacing with the original part number.
- Long Field Track Record: Deployed globally in critical infrastructure since the 1990s — extensive field data and support documentation available.
- Reduced Downtime Risk: Using the original part avoids integration testing overhead associated with alternative models.
Typical Applications
- Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) in oil & gas platforms and refineries
- Burner Management Systems (BMS) for boilers and fired heaters
- High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS)
- Turbine and compressor control in power generation
- Chemical reactor safety interlocks
- Pipeline leak detection and isolation systems
- Nuclear auxiliary system monitoring (non-nuclear safety class)
System Compatibility
The T9100 processor base unit is designed to operate within the ICS TRIPLEX TMR platform. Verified compatible components include:
- ICS TRIPLEX T9110 / T9120 I/O modules
- ICS TRIPLEX T9800 / T9810 power supply modules
- ICS TRIPLEX T9400 communication modules
- ICS TRIPLEX chassis: 3-slot, 6-slot, and 12-slot configurations
- Engineering workstations running ICS TRIPLEX TriStation 1131 software
Integration with third-party DCS (Honeywell Experion, Emerson DeltaV, ABB 800xA) is supported via Modbus RTU/TCP or OPC-DA/UA gateways.
Selection Guide
Use the following decision framework to select the right processor unit for your project:
- Step 1 – Confirm Safety Requirement: Identify the required SIL level (SIL 1 / 2 / 3) per your HAZOP/LOPA study. The T9100 is rated SIL 3.
- Step 2 – Verify Chassis Compatibility: Confirm your existing chassis slot count and backplane revision match T9100 mechanical and electrical specs.
- Step 3 – Check Firmware Revision: Ensure the T9100 firmware version is compatible with your TriStation 1131 project file version.
- Step 4 – Assess I/O Module Count: Verify the processor supports the number of I/O modules required by your safety loop design.
- Step 5 – Evaluate Replacement vs. Upgrade: If the T9100 is end-of-life in your region, compare T9110/T9200 upgrade paths against the cost of sourcing original stock.
- Step 6 – Contact Konmask: Our technical team can provide a compatibility report and sourcing lead time before you commit to a purchase order.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the T9100 be replaced with a T9110 without re-certification?
A: In most cases, yes — the T9110 is a functional upgrade with the same SIL 3 rating. However, your safety case documentation must be updated to reflect the new part number. Consult your functional safety engineer.
Q: Is the T9100 still in production?
A: ICS TRIPLEX has been absorbed into the Rockwell Automation portfolio. The T9100 is considered legacy/end-of-life. Konmask maintains surplus stock for MRO and emergency replacement needs.
Q: Can I use a Triconex module as a direct replacement?
A: Triconex (Schneider Electric) uses a different backplane and I/O architecture. A direct swap is not possible without significant re-engineering. Contact us for a detailed compatibility assessment.
Q: What is the typical lead time for the T9100?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. For out-of-stock situations, sourcing lead time is typically 2–6 weeks depending on global availability.
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: We provide technical documentation and remote commissioning guidance. On-site support can be arranged through our partner network.
