The T8193 is a Trusted Shield module designed for the Trusted TMR Processor, providing communication interfaces (RS422/RS485) and IRIG-B time synchronization.
Superior EMC & ESD Protection
High-Reliability Connectivity
Simplified Maintenance & Safety Integrity
ICS Triplex is a pioneer in global safety control technology and is now a core safety control brand under Rockwell Automation. It was one of the first companies in the world to develop Triple Redundancy (TMR) technology. TMR technology is characterized by a "two-out-of-three" logic—three independent processing units operate simultaneously within the system, and even if one fails, the other two can continue to work and correct errors, achieving zero downtime. In the Trusted system architecture, the T8193 acts as the "interface gate." If the processor module is likened to the brain, the T8193 is the socket and protective shell connecting the brain to the external nerves (communication cables). It inherits the core Triple Redundancy (TMR) design concept of ICS Triplex and is specifically designed to achieve SIL 3 safety level communication stability.

Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms
The T8193 connects processors with field sensors to ensure communication links remain stable to trigger platform shutdown during a blowout or fire.
Refineries & Petrochemical Plants
It transmits monitoring data to the supervisory system via serial ports to track toxic or flammable gas leaks in real-time.
Nuclear Power Plants
It leverages TMR features and the T8193’s ESD protection to ensure absolute reliability of core cooling system control commands.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry
In highly exothermic reactions, the T8193 ensures critical communications are immune to EMI to shut down feed pumps in time.
Mining & Mineral Processing
Used for Mine Hoist Safety Control. In harsh EMI environments, it uses the T8193’s shielding to protect the communication stability of hoist emergency braking systems.
During the use of ICS Triplex T8193, it is essential to ensure secure installation on the rear of the controller chassis and strictly verify the shield grounding of all external serial communication cables (RS422/485) to prevent industrial interference.Since this module handles critical safety communications and time synchronization signals, hot-swapping or rewiring during system operation is strictly prohibited to avoid communication loss or accidental triggering of safety logic. Additionally, regularly check the physical tightness of D-type connectors and ensure the equipment operates within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to maintain long-term SIL 3 stability.
It is primarily used to provide access to serial communication ports (RS422/485), diagnostic interfaces, IRIG-B time synchronization signals, and Power Supply Unit (PSU) monitoring connections.
Where is the T8193 installed?
It is installed on the rear of the Trusted Controller Chassis, spanning three horizontal slots directly behind the processor modules.
What connectors are included on the T8193?
It typically includes 9-pin D-type connectors for communications, along with dedicated terminals for PSU monitoring and time synchronization.5 protocols, commonly used for Modbus communications.
How does the T8193 handle electrostatic protection?
The unit features a metal shield design that provides ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection, preventing external interference from damaging the core processors.
How to verify if the T8193 is functioning correctly?
Functionality is verified bey chcking the status of communication links, measuring grounding resistance, and confirming that IRIG-B sync signals are reaching the processors.
