DESCRIPTION
 
The Trusted
TM
Dual 24V dc Digital
Input Module interfaces to 60 field 
input devices. A wide input voltage 
range and programmable thresholds 
allow the module to be used in 
current source and current sink 
configurations. 
Comprehensive
diagnostic tests are performed on 
each input channel, including tests for 
stuck on and stuck off failures. Fault 
tolerance is achieved through Dual 
Redundancy within the same module 
for each of the 60 input channels. 
When a line-monitoring device is 
installed at the field switch, the 
module can detect open and shorted 
field cables. Line monitoring can be 
independently configured for each 
input channel. 
The module provides on-board 
Sequence of Events (SOE) reporting 
with a resolution of 1ms. A change of 
state triggers an SOE entry. States 
are determined by programmable 
voltage thresholds that can be 
configured on a per channel basis. 
When the field voltage and field return 
are connected to the auxiliary input 
channels of the module, thresholds 
can be specified as a ratio of the 
current field supply voltage. 
Each section of the module, referred 
to as a slice, conditions and 
measures 
each
channel
independently. Each slice is opto-
isolated up to 2500V dc. Each slice 
sends its data to a safety layer 
hardware voter that presents the 
information from both slices to the 
Trusted
TM
TMR Processor. When a
fault is detected on any dual input 
channel, 
the
Trusted
TM
TMR
Processor
will
flag
the
error,
indicating the need to replace the 
module. The Trusted
TM
TMR
Processor will continue to use the 
information provided by the remaining 
slice until a replacement module is 
available. Replacement modules can 
be located in a standby slot next to 
the module or in a designated 
SmartSlot 
with
a
temporary
connection to the same Trusted
TM
Termination Assembly.
Modules may be placed in any I/O 
module slot in a Trusted
TM
Processor
Chassis or Expander Chassis. Once 
the I/O module configuration is set, 
mechanical keying is available on all 
I/O modules to prevent inserting a 
module into an incorrect slot. 
Configuration of the module is carried 
out using the Trusted
TM
Toolset
running
on
an
Engineering
Workstation. Once configured and 
loaded into the Trusted
TM
Controller,
replacement modules are on-line 
educated by the TMR Processor.
