The T8017 is the Peer to Peer Communications Software Package designated for the Trusted Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) safety control system. Rather than a hardware module, this product is a high-integrity functional safety software utility that executes embedded within existing communications modules such as the T8151B/T8153C and carries full Germany TÜV certification.
Automatic redundancy routing
High density data transactions
Up to eight Peer to Peer Networks per Trusted Controller
Trusted Peer to Peer Communications is provided by the Trusted Communications Interface module (T8150/T8151/T8151B) for the interchange of safety and non-safety information between Trusted Controllers. Up to four Trusted Communications Interface modules may be fitted in each Trusted Controller.The Trusted Peer to Peer Communications Software Package (T8017) utilizes the Black Channel concept via the Safety Network Control Protocol (SNCP), enabling SIL 3 certified, deterministic communication between controllers. It ensures data integrity through CRC verification, manages asynchronous data updates to eliminate jitter, and maintains system safety via adjustable refresh timeouts and fail-safe fallback values.

Petroleum Refining
Realizing instantaneous cross-tripping between the main FCCU control system and external safety interlock loops during plant faults.
Oil & Gas Pipelines
Implementing multi-stage linkage of downstream Line Break Valves (LBV) across independent compressor stations during pipeline leaks.
Nuclear Power
Providing communication handshakes with maximum functional safety determinism between the nuclear island reactor protection and conventional island steam isolation systems.
Ethylene Plants
Transmitting interlock shutdown signals instantaneously to upstream reaction control racks via the peer network when large cracking compressors trip.
Steel Metallurgy
Establishing communication between blast furnace, blower, and gas recovery stations to execute sub-second release linkage upon gas backflow.
When deploying the ICS Triplex T8017 software, it is vital to ensure absolute network stability and bandwidth, with isolated redundant Ethernet strongly recommended to shield safety interlocking traffic from network storms. Furthermore, meticulous planning and validation of the Refresh_TMO (Refresh Timeout) parameters alongside the remote input FS_Value (Fail-Safe Value) are mandatory. This guarantees that the global distributed system will instantaneously and deterministically revert to a fail-safe state during packet losses or total link disruptions, eliminating the hazard of frozen signals or indeterminate states.
