TrustedTM Module T8480 1. Description TM The TMR 4-20 mA Analogue Output module is a member of the Trusted range of Input/Output (I/O) TM modules. All Trusted I/O modules share common functionality and form. At the most general level, all I/O modules interface to the Inter-Module Bus (IMB) which provides power and allows communication with the TMR Processor. In addition, all modules have a field interface that is used to connect to module specific signals in the field.
TrustedTM Module T8480 TM Fig 2 shows a simplified block diagram of the Trusted 24V dc Analogue Output module.
TrustedTM Module T8480 1.1. Output Field Termination Unit (OFTU) The Output Field Termination Unit (OFTU) is the section of the I/O module that connects all three AO FIUs to a single field interface. The OFTU provides the Group Fail-safe switches and passive components necessary for signal conditioning, over-voltage protection, and EMI/RFI filtering.
TrustedTM Module T8480 1.3. Host Interface Unit (HIU) The HIU is the point of access to the Inter-Module Bus (IMB) for the module. It also provides power distribution and local programmable processing power. The HIU is the only section of the I/O module to directly connect to the IMB backplane. The HIU is common to most high integrity I/O types and has type dependent and product range common functions. Each HIU contains three independent slices, commonly referred to as A, B, and C.
TrustedTM Module T8480 1.5. Line monitoring and output states The module automatically monitors the output channel current and voltage to determine the state of the output channel. The numerical output state and line fault status are reported back to the application and are represented below. Numerical Output State Description Field Short Circuit (Not presently supported) Output Energized (On) No Load, Field Open Circuit (Vload > 16.
TrustedTM Module T8480 Between the HIU and FIU are a series of optically isolated links for data and power. The data link is synchronized and monitored for variance. Both FIU and HIU have onboard temperature sensors to characterize temperature-related problems. The power supplies for both the HIU and FIU boards are redundant, fully instrumented and testable. Together these assemblies form a Power Integrity Sub System. 1.8.
TrustedTM Module T8480 Note: In this context, N.O. is defined as being in the off state in the absence of control signal power, and similarly, N.C. is the on state in the absence of control signal power. These switches are constructed from enhancement mode MOSFETs and are both guaranteed to be off in the absence of module power to create gate voltage signals to bias them on3 (unlike electromechanical relays for example).
TrustedTM Module T8480 Note that short circuits are not considered to be a fault condition for an analogue current output channel such as provided by this module. The module is designed to drive 20 mA indefinitely into 0 volts. The channel voltages are provided to the application, where such a fault determination may be made if it is required. 1.9.2.
TrustedTM Module T8480 2. Installation 2.1. Module Insertion/Removal CAUTION: The module contains static sensitive parts. static handling precautions must be observed. Specifically ensure that exposed connector pins ARE NOT TOUCHED. Under no circumstances should the module housing BE REMOVED. Before installation, visually inspect the module for damage. Ensure that the module housing appears undamaged and inspect the I/O connector at the back of the module for bent pins.
TrustedTM Module T8480 2.3.
TrustedTM Module T8480 2.4. TrustedTM Module polarisation/Keying. TM All Trusted Modules have been Keyed to prevent insertion into the wrong position within a chassis. The polarisation comprises two parts. The module and the associated field cable. Each module type has been keyed during manufacture.
TrustedTM Module T8480 3. Application 3.1. Module Configuration There is no configuration required to the physical output module. All configurable characteristics of the module are performed using tools on the EWS and become part of the application or system.ini file that is loaded into the TMR Processor. The TMR Processor automatically configures the output module after applications are downloaded and during Active/Standby changeover.
TrustedTM Module T8480 OEM Parameter Description Notes TICS_CHASSIS The number of the TM Trusted Chassis where the Primary I/O module is installed The Trusted Controller Chassis is 1, and TM Trusted Expander Chassis are 2 to 15 TICS_SLOT The slot number in the chassis where the Primary I/O module is installed The I/O module slots in the Trusted Controller chassis are numbered from 1 to 8.
TrustedTM Module T8480 Value Description 7 Channel fault 6 Current demand cannot be met 5 Unused 4 Output energised (0+mA) 3 Open circuit in field wiring or load 2 Output de-energised (demand < 0mA) 1 No field supply voltage 0 Unused Table 8 Rack 2: STATE value descriptions 3.2.3. Rack 3: AI The AI board returns the field loop voltage at the output.
TrustedTM Module T8480 3.2.4. Rack 4: CI The CI board returns the field loop current at the output. Channel Description 1 Field output channel 1 current 2 Field output channel 2 current 40 Field output channel 40 current Table 10 Rack 4: CI descriptions The current is the sum value taken from the triplicated module. The current level is reported as an 1 integer, with the units being /1000A. This may be used directly, scaled arithmetically or scaled using the IEC1131 TOOLSET conversion tables.
TrustedTM Module T8480 3.2.7.
TrustedTM Module T8480 Each input within the housekeeping rack is reported as an integer. In general, the application engineer will not normally require these inputs. They are provided to aid fault finding and diagnosis and may be used for reporting and display purposes. If a slice is Fatal, then all reported housekeeping inputs are set to zero. 3.2.8.
TrustedTM Module T8480 The FCR Status channel reports the fault status of the active and standby modules.
TrustedTM Module T8480 4. Operation 4.1. Front Panel Status indicators on the front panel of the module provide visual indications of the module’s operational status and field output status. Each indicator is a bicolour LED. Located at the top and bottom of each module is an ejector lever that is used to remove the module from the chassis. Limit switches detect the open/closed position of the ejector levers.
TrustedTM Module T8480 4.2. Module Status LEDs There are six module status indicators on the module front panel: three Healthy, one Active, one Standby, and one Educated. The Healthy indicators are controlled directly by each module slice. The Active, Standby, and Educated indicators are controlled by the FPU. The FPU receives data from each of the module slices. The FPU performs a 2-oo-3 vote on each data bit from the slices and sets the indicators accordingly.
TrustedTM Module T8480 4.3. I/O Status LEDs There are 40 output channel status indicators on the module front panel, one for each field output. These indicators are controlled by the FPU. The FPU receives data from each of the module slices. The FPU performs a 2-oo-3 vote on each data bit from the slices and sets the indicators accordingly. The output status indicator mode is dependent upon the numerical state of the output channel.
TrustedTM Module T8480 5. Fault Finding and Maintenance 5.1. Fault Reporting Output module faults are reported to the user through visual indicators on the front panel of the module and through status variables which may be automatically monitored in the application programs and external system communications interfaces. There are generally two types of faults that must be remedied by the user: external wiring and module faults.
TrustedTM Module T8480 5.4. Companion Slot TM For a Companion Slot configuration, two adjacent slots in a Trusted Chassis are configured for the same input module function. One slot is the primary slot and the other a unique secondary (or spare) TM slot. The two slots are joined at the rear of the Trusted Chassis with a double-wide I/O Interface Cable that connects both slots to common field wiring terminations.
TrustedTM Module T8480 5.7. Transfer between Active and Standby Modules The TMR Processor is responsible for managing a pair of I/O modules through an active/standby changeover. The following rules apply to active/standby changeovers, though the TMR Processor and not the I/O module enforces them: • The user must define the primary, and optionally the secondary, I/O module location for each I/O module pair.
