Description
The TRIPLEX T9110 is a processor module manufactured by ICS Triplex [1, 2]. It’s designed for use in safety instrumented systems (SIS) applications, which are critical control systems used in industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, and nuclear power where safety is paramount.
Here’s a closer look at the TRIPLEX T9110:
- Function: It acts as the central processing unit (CPU) for an AADvance safety controller system from Rockwell Automation [1, 3]. The AADvance system is a programmable logic controller (PLC) specifically designed for safety applications.
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): A key feature of the T9110 is its use of TMR technology [1, 2]. This means it has three identical processor cores running the same program simultaneously. The system continuously compares the outputs of all three cores, and any discrepancy triggers a shutdown to prevent potential malfunctions.
- Increased Reliability: TMR redundancy makes the T9110 highly reliable, ensuring the safety controller system can operate continuously and safely even if one of the processor cores fails [2].
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Availability: The TRIPLEX T9110 might be a discontinued product, although some suppliers may still have stock [2].
- Applications: Due to its safety focus, the T9110 is likely used in industrial applications with high safety requirements, such as:
- Emergency shutdown systems
- Fire and gas detection systems
- Machine control systems
If you’re looking for more information on the TRIPLEX T9110, here are some suggestions:
- Rockwell Automation Literature Library: The Rockwell Automation website might have resources like user manuals or data sheets for the T9110 or the AADvance controller system [3]. Search their literature library for relevant documents.
- Contacting Rockwell Automation Support: Reach out to Rockwell Automation customer support for assistance. They might be able to provide information on troubleshooting, compatible parts, or potential replacements for the T9110.
