Product Introduction
The ICS TRIPLEX 9852 is a high-precision, triple modular redundant (TMR) I/O module designed for mission-critical industrial automation applications. As part of Honeywell’s Triconex series, it integrates advanced fault-tolerant architecture and real-time signal processing to ensure operational continuity in harsh environments.
The ICS TRIPLEX 9852 serves as a bridge between process variables and control systems, delivering reliable analog and digital output signals for precise regulation of parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow, and motor control. Its TMR design employs three independent channels that continuously cross-check data, eliminating single points of failure and maintaining system integrity even during component faults. This makes the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 ideal for safety-critical applications in oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and heavy manufacturing.
Built to meet global standards like IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ATEX, the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 supports seamless integration with Honeywell’s distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Its modular design allows for flexible configuration, enabling users to adapt to evolving process requirements without extensive reengineering. Whether deployed in offshore platforms, refineries, or smart factories, the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 ensures precision, durability, and scalability in industrial automation ecosystems.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
TMR Architecture for Unmatched Reliability
The ICS TRIPLEX 9852 leverages TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) to achieve 3-2-0 voting logic, where three independent channels process data simultaneously. If one channel fails, the remaining two maintain operation while triggering diagnostics. This architecture ensures zero downtime in safety-critical systems, such as emergency shutdown (ESD) or fire-and-gas detection.
Precision and Versatility
With 16-bit resolution for analog signals and support for both 4-20 mA and 0-10 V outputs, the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 delivers sub-microamp accuracy. Its dual-mode capability (analog/digital) eliminates the need for separate modules, reducing hardware complexity and installation costs. The module’s compatibility with HART protocol further enables integration with smart field devices for advanced diagnostics.
Rapid Diagnostics and Maintenance
Integrated health monitoring and self-test routines allow the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 to detect faults in real time. Hot-swappable design enables maintenance without shutting down the system, minimizing production losses. Front-panel LED indicators provide instant visual feedback on module status, streamlining troubleshooting.
Compliance and Safety
Certified for IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ATEX Zone 1/21 environments, the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 meets stringent safety and explosion-proof requirements. Its IP67 rating ensures resistance to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, making it suitable for outdoor and hazardous locations.
Typical Application Scenarios
The ICS TRIPLEX 9852 excels in environments demanding high availability and precision. In oil and gas, it controls wellhead pressure and pipeline flow in offshore platforms, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. For chemical processing, it regulates reactor temperatures and catalyst dosing in batch systems, preventing hazardous overflows.
In power generation, the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 manages turbine speed and grid synchronization in combined-cycle plants, enhancing efficiency and grid stability. Within smart manufacturing, it drives servo motors and conveyor belts in automated assembly lines, maintaining tight tolerances for quality control.
Its TMR design also suits nuclear power and pharmaceutical industries, where even minor deviations can lead to costly failures. By combining redundancy with real-time diagnostics, the ICS TRIPLEX 9852 reduces unplanned downtime by up to 70%, ensuring continuous production and regulatory compliance.

Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance Instructions
Installation Preparation
Before installing the ICS TRIPLEX 9852, verify that the environment meets the operating temperature (-20°C to 60°C) and humidity (<95% RH, non-condensing) requirements. Use a DIN rail or rack mount in an explosion-proof enclosure if required. Ensure all wiring complies with local electrical codes, and isolate the module from high-voltage circuits to prevent interference.
Maintenance Suggestions
Perform routine checks of front-panel LEDs to confirm module status. Use Honeywell’s AADvance software to monitor diagnostic data and update firmware. Replace capacitors or connectors showing signs of wear every 5 years to prevent unexpected failures. For TMR systems, test redundancy switching annually by simulating channel faults in a controlled environment.
