Products Description
Overview
The ICS Triplex T8850 (part number 1092350000) is a 40-channel analog or digital output Field Terminal Assembly (FTA) designed for use in TRUSTED ICS (TMR) safety and critical control systems from ICS Triplex (now part of Schneider Electric / Foxboro). It serves as the primary interface between TMR output modules (e.g., T8451, T8461, T8480) and field devices.
