Channel Digital Output Module
COMMON INTERFACE
The
three
discrete
control
circuits
in
the
Common
Interface
(A,
B,
and
C)
(Figure
2
-
6)
are
each
responsible
for
the
control
of
the
corresponding
one
third
of
the
I/O
module
circuits.
Each
control
circuit
comprises
a microcontroller
with
a dedicated
watchdog,
data
buffers
and
shared
RAM.
The
circuit
is
powered
via
the
module
and
permits
live
insertion
of
replacement
modules.
Th
e microcontrollers
co
-
ordinate
I/O
signal
processing,
signal
path
diagnostics,
on
-
line/off
-
line
status
and
signal
status
read/write
cycles
to
and
from
the
system
processors
via
an
I/O
communications
bus.
All
I/O
modules
have
an
identification
code
which
is
read
by
the
Common
Interface
and
passed
to
the
MPPs
for
verification.
The
on
-
line/off
-
line
status
is
determined
by
the
MPPs.
If,
for
maintenance
purposes,
the
On/Off
Line
Request
switch
on
the
front
of
the
module
is
operated,
the
action
is
read
by
all
three
microcontrollers
and
the
request
passed
to
the
MPPs
which
may
then
grant
the
request.
The
watchdog
on
each
microcontroller
extinguishes
the
Health
LED
on
the
I/O
module
front
panel
in
the
event
of
a microcontroller
failure,
LFD
failure,
a voting
discrepancy,
loss
of
field
supply
or
open
circuit
conditions.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The
Digital
Output
module
requires
a ‘dual
-
slot
hot
repair’
configuration
in
order
to
maintain
any
normally
energised
field
loops
during
repair.
We
recommend
that
the
‘dual
-
slot
h
ot
repair’
configuration
is
used
for
all
output
modules.
The
‘dual
-
slot’
configuration
does
not
require
the
hot
repair
slot
to
be
populated.
If
the
hot
repair
partner
module
is
fitted
during
normal
operation,
the
output
module
pair
should
be
de
-
rated
by
50%;
unless
forced
air
-
cooling
is
used.
NOTE
Fitted
Hot
Repair
partner
modules
should
be
bought
on
-
line
as
part
of
a regular
maintenance
cycle
to
allow
full
diagnostic
reporting
for
both
modules.
The
Digital
Output
module
has
a relatively
high
power
dissipation
which
places
some
constraints
on
its
use
in
convection
cooled
systems.
As
each
Digital
output
module
will
dissipate
59W
when
run
at
full
capacity
we
recommend
that
these
modules
are
configured
in
the
lowest
chassis
within
each
cabinet
bay.
If
Digital
Output
modules
are
configured
in
slots
located
above
a fully
loaded
Digital
Output
module
we
recommend
that
the
module
is
de
-
rated
by
50%.
When
forced
air
-
cooling
is
applied
to
a system
to
aid
heat
dissipation
then
these
limitations
are
removed.
When
c
onfiguring
a system
care
should
be
taken
to
ensure
that
the
maximum
working
temperature
of
60
C is
not
exceeded
in
the
applications
maximum
ambient
conditions.
