• Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) Technology: T8850 adopts advanced TMR technology, equipping each key circuit with three completely independent modules. During operation, input signals are sampled synchronously and processed by these three independent modules respectively. The voting logic unit inside the module will compare and diagnose the three independent processing results in real-time. When a hardware failure or transient error occurs in one of the modules, the voting logic unit can quickly identify it, shield the wrong result, and output the correct signal to the subsequent control system. This design greatly improves the fault tolerance of the system. Even if one or two modules fail, it can still ensure the normal operation of the system, effectively avoiding system out of control caused by single-point faults, which may lead to production accidents, and strongly ensuring the safety and continuous operation of the control system.

• Self-Diagnosis and Fault Isolation: The module has comprehensive and powerful automatic diagnosis and self-test functions. During operation, it continuously monitors its own hardware status, signal processing process, data transmission link, etc. in real-time. Once any potential fault is detected, such as aging of circuit components in a certain channel, open or short circuit of signal transmission lines, abnormality of processing chips, etc., it can immediately issue an alarm, and through the built-in timestamp fault recorder, record in detail the time, type, specific location and related parameters of the fault. At the same time, the module can quickly isolate the fault to prevent it from spreading to other normal channels, ensuring that the entire system can still maintain basic functions in the case of partial faults, providing accurate basis for operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate and solve faults, effectively shortening equipment downtime and improving the overall availability of equipment.
