ICS Triplex T8310C TMR Expander Processor Module

ICS Triplex T8310C TMR Expander Processor Module 

Functional Description

The T8310C Trusted® TMR Expander Processor module resides in the processor slots of the Trusted

Expander Chassis and provides the 'slave' interface between the Expansion Bus and the Expander Chassis

backplane. The Expander Bus allows multiple chassis systems to be implemented using UTP cable

connections whilst maintaining the fault tolerant, high bandwidth IMB capabilities.

The module provides fault containment for the expander bus, the module itself and the expander chassis,

ensuring that the effects of these potential faults are localised and system availability maximised. The

module is fault tolerant with HIFT TMR architecture. Comprehensive diagnostics monitoring and testing

provide rapid fault identification. Hot standby and module spare configurations are supported, allowing

automatic and manual repair strategies.

Features and benefits

· Triple Modular Redundant (TMR), fault tolerant (3-2-0) operation

· Hardware Implemented Fault Tolerant (HIFT) architecture

· Dedicated hardware and software test regimes which provide very fast fault recognition and response times

· Automatic fault handling without nuisance alarming

· Hot replacement

· Front panel indicators that show module health and status.
