Functional Features

Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Each output signal is processed by three independent channels, ensuring fault tolerance through a 2-out-of-3 voting mechanism. This eliminates single points of failure and guarantees continuous operation even if one or two channels fail.
High Reliability: Built with industrial-grade components and rigorous manufacturing processes to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Comprehensive Diagnostics: Each channel features continuous self-diagnostics to detect faults such as wire breakage, short circuits, and overload conditions. Any failure activates a fault indicator and triggers system alarms.
Hot Swapping: Modules can be replaced without powering down the system, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Flexible Configuration: Supports a wide range of output devices, including solenoids, relays, and motors, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
High Current Capacity: Each output point can handle up to 0.8 A of continuous current, with a surge capacity of 4 A per 10 ms, ensuring compatibility with high-power loads.
Robust Design: The module’s housing provides excellent protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical damage, ensuring reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Application Scenarios

Oil and Gas Industry: Emergency shutdown systems (ESD), fire and gas detection (F&G), and wellhead pressure monitoring.
