Status Booleans

The variables in the rack of status booleans provide information to the application

about the field power supplies to a group of digital output modules.

Group Field Power Health

Direction: input to application from controller
Type: boolean
Values:



TRUE = all field power supplies for all active digital output modules in the group
are within the range 18V to 32V dc inclusive



FALSE = one or more field power supplies to an active module is less than 18V dc
or greater than 32V dc.

Description:
Provides a top level indication of the health of field power supplies to active digital

output modules.

Note: The controller incorporates a 0.5V hysteresis on these thresholds to prevent

chatter. The controller will declare a fault when a supply falls below 18V, but will not
clear the fault until the supply rises to 18.5V. Similarly the controller will declare a fault

when a supply exceeds 32V, but will not clear the fault until the supply falls below
31.5V.
