Competitive Product Comparison

• Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley: While offering robust solutions, their safety-rated PLCs may not provide the same level of inherent fault tolerance as TMR systems.
• Siemens: Similar to Rockwell, Siemens offers safety PLCs, but the architecture differs from TMR.
• HIMA: HIMA offers safety systems that are directly competitive, and the choice often depends on specific application requirements and existing infrastructure. HIMA offers similar SIL-rated systems. The ICS TRIPLEX systems with T8451 and T8461 often stand out in applications demanding continuous availability and the highest levels of fault tolerance.
• Schneider Electric: Focus on safety PLCs and functional safety solutions, often lacking the TMR architecture for continuous operation.

Selection Suggestions

• Application Requirements: Determine the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL). If SIL3 or higher is needed, ICS TRIPLEX T8451 and T8461 are strong contenders.
• System Architecture: Consider existing control system architecture and communication protocols. Ensure compatibility with T8461 communication capabilities.
• Environmental Conditions: Verify that the operating temperature range of the T8451 and T8461 meets the environmental requirements of the application.
• Redundancy Needs: Evaluate the level of redundancy required. TMR provides the highest level of fault tolerance.
• Budget: TMR systems often have a higher initial cost but offer long-term cost savings due to increased uptime and reduced risk of failures.

Precautions

• Proper Installation: Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation and grounding.
• Regular Maintenance: Perform regular diagnostics and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
• Environmental Protection: Protect the modules from excessive heat, humidity, and vibration.
• Software Updates: Keep system software and firmware up to date.
• Security: Implement cybersecurity measures to protect against unauthorized access and cyberattacks.
• Qualified Personnel: Ensure that only trained and qualified personnel handle the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the T8451 and T8461.
