Product Overview
This module connects the main controller chassis and the CS300 expansion chassis for smooth data transmission.
It supports high-speed communication to maintain real-time performance in critical industrial applications.
The unit carries multiple hazardous location certifications for use in demanding industrial environments.
It works with the T8300 chassis to form a complete expansion segment of the control system.
The T8311 ensures reliable signal transfer and reduces the risk of unexpected communication interruptions.
It follows strict industrial standards to support long-term stable operation in process industries.
Technical Specifications
It has a heat dissipation rating of 40W and a maximum load capacity of 40W during normal use.
The module uses a 50MHz clock to support fast and stable internal processing operations.
Its expander bus data rate reaches 250Mbps for high-speed bidirectional data transmission.
This interface module is specially designed to be used with the T8300 expander chassis.
It connects to the system through the expander chassis backplane as the main I/O interface.
The operating temperature range is -5°C to 60°C, suitable for most industrial working environments.
Non-operating storage temperature ranges from -25°C to 70°C for safe transport and storage.
It supports an operating humidity level of 5% to 95% RH without condensation-related issues.
Physical dimensions are 30.3 cm × 3.1 cm × 26.6 cm, fitting standard industrial rack installations.
The module holds certifications including Ord/HazLoc, ATEX and IECEx for hazardous area usage.
Installation Guide
Always power off the entire chassis before inserting or removing the T8311 interface module.
Align the module with the backplane connector to avoid bending pins or damaging internal parts.
Install the T8100 controller chassis in a closed rack with doors to meet EMC compliance standards.
Keep rack doors closed during operation to ensure stable performance of all connected modules.
Use approved TC-322-02 cable assemblies for communication between system components.
Standard cable length reaches up to 15 meters, while the system supports cables up to 50 meters long.
Equip the Trusted TMR system with a T8312 adaptor and the CS300 rack with a TC-324-02 PCB.
Ground all CS300 equipment properly according to the physical installation design guidelines.
Check all cable connections and LED indicators to confirm normal module startup status.
