Key Applications
Features:
- Trusted Expander Chassis
- Convection cooling of modules through the Chassis
- 32, 48, 64 and 96-way DIN 41612 I/O port connector capability
The expander chassis, can be either swing frame or fixed frame mounted. The chassis may also be panel (rear) mounted by the addition of a panel mounting kit T8380 which comprises pair of brackets with rear facing ears. The chassis houses the expander processors and I/O modules.
The chassis is populated with up to two single-width expander processors and up to 12 singlewidth modules (I/O or comms). Expander processors may only be installed in the two left-most slots (positions 13 and 14, with 13 on the left). I/O and/or comm modules may be installed in the remaining 12 slots (numbered 1 through 12, left to right).
The T8300 ICS triplex Trusted Expander Chassis may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
The Trusted Expander Chassis is installed into a swingframe-mount, or fixed frame using M5 x 12 Pan Head Taptite screws.
Note that only the inner pair of holes in the mounting ears are used at this stage to secure the Chassis in the frame. The outer holes are used to fit the plastic facia ears once all Chassis and fan trays are fitted and alignment is correct Alternatively, the Chassis may be mounted on a panel, or equipment sheet using Panel Mounting Kit T8380 which comprises a pair of brackets with rear facing ears.
The brackets are first located and fitted using M5 fixings in four positions per bracket. The Chassis is then fitted to the front ears of the brackets using M5 x 12 Pan Head Taptite screws.
High Availability I/O Expansion: Provides a high-density backplane frame accommodating up to eight single-width or double-width I/O modules, supporting up to 256 physical field terminal connections, and managed by a unified safety logic solver.
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems: Deployed on offshore oil platforms, refineries, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities to ensure deterministic, fail-safe control schemes and enable rapid isolation.
Nuclear and Thermal Power Boiler Protection: Used as a triple modular redundancy (TMR) expansion subrack for turbine control, furnace interlocking, and generator protection circuitry.
Hazardous Chemicals Process Safety: Includes critical analog and digital safety circuitry for monitoring runaway chemical reactions to eliminate fire and explosion hazards.
