TMR 120VAC Digital Input

Module – 40 Channel

Introduction

The Trusted

TM

TMR 120VAC Digital Input interfaces to 40 field input devices. Fault tolerance is

achieved through a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture within the module for each of the 40
input channels.

Each field input is triplicated and the input voltage is measured using a sigma-delta input circuit. The
field voltage signal is digitally processed to compute the AC amplitude, which is compared to fixed
threshold voltages to determine the reported field input state. The triplicated voltage measurements,
coupled with on-board diagnostic testing, provide comprehensive fault detection and tolerance.

The module provides on-board Sequence of Events (SOE) reporting with a resolution of 1ms. A
change of state triggers an SOE entry. States for each channel are determined by comparing the
input signal amplitude with fixed voltage thresholds on a per channel basis.

Features

• 40 Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) input channels per module.
• Comprehensive, automatic diagnostics and self-test.
• 2500V dc optical isolation barrier.
• On-board Sequence of Events (SOE) reporting with 1ms resolution.
• Module can be hot-replaced on-line using dedicated Companion (adjacent) Slot or

SmartSlot (one spare slot for many modules) configurations.

• Front panel input status LEDs for each channel indicate input status and open inputs.
• Front panel module status LEDs indicate module health and operational mode (Active,

Standby, Educated)

• T
