ICS Triplex T8314 Fibre Transmitter/Receiver Unit
Product Overview
The ICS Triplex T8314 Fibre TX/RX Unit enables long-distance communication by converting copper-based Expander Bus signals into fiber optic signals. It allows Trusted Expander Chassis to be located up to 10 km from the main controller chassis, ensuring reliable and safe system operation. Moreover, the unit’s triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture provides fault-tolerant communication, while its DIN rail mounting ensures compact and straightforward installation. This module is ideal for industrial environments requiring robust, distributed Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
