TC-308-02-2M5 is a high-performance communication cable manufactured by ICS Triplex (now part of Rockwell Automation) specifically for Trusted TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) systems.
Excellent fault tolerance and redundancy capabilities
High security level of SIL 3
High-performance current and signal carrying capacity
The TC-308 System is a critical redundancy connection solution based on the ICS Triplex Trusted TMR architecture, utilizing high-specification specialized cables to establish electrical linkage between primary and standby modules. Supporting SIL 3 safety integrity, its core value lies in providing superior fault tolerance and online hot-repair capabilities through Smart Slot technology. It ensures seamless switching and automatic synchronization of faulty modules without system downtime, delivering a zero-outage safety guarantee for continuous operations in high-risk industries such as oil & gas, chemical, and power generation.

Oil & Gas Exploration
Applied in Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) to ensure immediate closure of wellhead valves in the event of a blowout.
Nuclear Power Plants
Utilized in Reactor Protection Systems to support online maintenance of critical safety logic modules.
Chemical Processing
Used for safety interlocking of high-pressure reactors to prevent runaway exothermic reactions caused by control failure.
Steel Manufacturing
Used for blast furnace cooling system monitoring to ensure redundant controllers remain online during high-temperature operations.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Used in environmental control for critical bioreactors to prevent batch loss due to control system failures.
Semiconductor Manufacturing
Applied in emergency shut-off for gas cabinets to protect cleanroom personnel from toxic gas exposure.
Handle the cable with care during daily use. When plugging or unplugging, always grip the metal connector housing; never pull on the cable body itself to disconnect. Proper handling prevents damage to the delicate internal digital cores and solder joints, significantly extending the product's physical lifespan.
The TC-308-02-2M5 is a dedicated Output Smart Slot Jumper Cable for the ICS Triplex Trusted system, with a length of 2.5 meters.
What is the core purpose of the TC-308-02-2M5?
It is used to establish a physical connection between two output module slots (active and standby), supporting the Smart Slot feature for output module hot-standby redundancy.
How to correctly install the TC-308-02-2M5?
It should be installed on the Field Termination Assembly (FTA) interfaces at the rear of the chassis, linking the main and standby modules, and ensure the locking screws on the connectors are tightened.
Which output modules are compatible with the TC-308-02-2M5?
It is specifically designed for use with Output Modules of the Trusted system, such as the T8451 (Analog Output) or T8461 (Digital Output).
What is the difference between TC-308-02-2M5 and TC-306-02?
The TC-308 series is for output, while the TC-306 series is for input. Their internal pin definitions and electrical characteristics are optimized specifically for output and input signals and are not interchangeable.
