The T9852 dual termination assembly can be used with both 8 channel and 16
channel input modules.
Triple Modular Redundant Architecture
A SIL 3 TMR architecture offers the highest level of fault tolerance for an
AADvance controller and consists of triple input modules, triple processors
and dual output modules.
If a failure occurs in an element of a channel, the channel processor will still
supply a satisfactory output which could be voted on because of the coupling
between the channels. This is why the triple modular redundant
implementation has a configuration that is inherently better than a typical
2oo3 voting system.
