Description

Description

The ICS TRIPLEX T8160 Trusted TMR Interface Module is a specialized interface module designed to connect the Trusted Controller with Regent and Regent+Plus I/O sub-systems. It plays a critical role in enabling seamless communication between Trusted TMR control platforms and existing Regent-based safety I/O architectures.

The T8160 supports the Regent I/O Safetybus, allowing full integration of Regent (3xxx) and Regent+Plus (7xxx) I/O modules as part of a Trusted system I/O sub-system. This makes the module an ideal solution for facilities that require high reliability while continuing to use proven Regent I/O hardware.

For existing Regent+Plus installations, the T8160 provides a practical upgrade path. By replacing the Regent+Plus controller chassis with a Trusted Controller chassis, users can modernize their control system while preserving their existing I/O investment. This approach reduces system downtime, lowers upgrade costs, and maintains operational continuity.

The Regent and Regent+Plus module ranges supported by the T8160 share the same printed circuit board (PCB) hardware. Differences between modules are limited to identity coding and plastic housing design. The updated housing allows the module’s front face to sit flush within the newer Trusted chassis, improving mechanical compatibility and system integration.

Designed for safety-critical and high-availability industrial environments, the ICS TRIPLEX T8160 ensures robust communication, fault tolerance, and long-term system reliability.
