The ICS Triplex T8231 is a Power Pack unit designed for the Trusted® Power System by ICS Triplex (now part of Rockwell Automation). It is a high-density, flexible power supply used in critical applications requiring high reliability and fault tolerance, such as those found in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
Here’s a summary of the key information about the T8231:
Key Features:
- Redundant and n+1 configurations: Supports configurations with redundancy to ensure continuous operation even if a power pack fails.
- Hot-replaceable Power Packs: Allows for the replacement of a power pack without shutting down the system.
- Current sharing: Enables multiple power packs to share the load, improving efficiency and reliability.
- Current limiting: Protects the system from overcurrent conditions.
- Power factor correction: Improves energy efficiency.
- Diagnostic contacts: Provides relay contacts for reporting out-of-range faults and over-temperature/fan failure.
- Configurable output voltage: The output voltage can be adjusted (typically within a specific range, e.g., 24 VDC adjustable).
- Input/output fail diagnostics per Power Pack: Provides detailed diagnostics for each power pack.
Specifications (based on available information):
- Product Type: Power Pack
- Manufacturer: ICS Triplex (Rockwell Automation)
- Input Voltage: Typically Universal Input (100-240 VAC auto-ranging) or 24 VDC (depending on the specific configuration and documentation). Some sources mention 24 VDC nominal with a range of 18-30 VDC.
- Output Voltage: Typically 24 VDC (for Trusted products) or adjustable 28 VDC (for field power). Some sources mention a range of 10.8 VDC to 13.2 VDC, which might refer to a specific adjustable output.
- Output Power: 750 W (per Power Pack).
- Current Rating: Input: 10A (max at 100VAC). Output: Up to the system capacity when multiple units are used (e.g., a Power Shelf with three 750W packs can supply 2250W). Individual power pack current capacity can be up to 5A.
- Frequency: 50/60 Hz
- Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C or -40°C to +70°C (depending on the source).
- Dimensions: Varies, but a single power pack is relatively compact (e.g., around 43 x 483 x 147 mm for a rack-mounted version).
- Weight: Around 0.5 kg to 2.7 kg per power pack (depending on the source).
- Mounting: Designed to fit into a 1U Power Shelf.
- Communication: Diagnostic information is provided via a Power Port connector on the rear of the Power Shelf. It can connect to an optional rack-mounted Power Controller for live configuration and monitoring.
Applications:
- Critical control systems in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation.
- High-availability and fault-tolerant systems.
In summary, the ICS Triplex T8231 is a key component of the Trusted Power System, providing a reliable and redundant power source for critical industrial control applications.
For detailed specifications, installation procedures, and safety guidelines, it is crucial to consult the official ICS Triplex (Rockwell Automation) product documentation and manuals for the T8231. You may find relevant manuals and datasheets on the Rockwell Automation or ICS Triplex legacy product support websites.
