10.1.1.4 “OR” board
The “OR” board is used only in redundant configurations of discrete I/Os. In redundant
configurations, outputs on two or four discrete I/O boards (installed in two CPUs) control the
states of output relays. The “OR” board is used to electrically isolate outputs on boards. Only
outputs are connected to the “OR” board. The board logically “ORs” the signals from the outputs
of two CPUs, and the resulting signal controls output relays. There is no need to “OR” signals
from input relays. Each board can handle up to 16 outputs from each CPU. Screw terminals with
letter A designate discrete outputs from CPU A, and those with letter B designate discrete
outputs from CPU B. Connections from the outputs on terminal blocks are made in pairs. The
“OR” board takes the “OR” of each pair and outputs a single result for each pair. Depending on
the number of discrete outputs in the systems, more “OR” boards can be used.
