(T7310)
Issue 1, September, 04
I/O transceiver modules provide an interface between the 
processor modules in the controller chassis and the I/O modules in 
the I/O chassis. Three I/O transceiver modules are installed in the 
three left slots of each I/O chassis. 
Features
•
Three modules per I/O chassis for triple redundant operation.
•
Interfaces processor modules to I/O modules.
•
Hot
replaceable.
•
Front panel indicators on each module show active and fault
status.
•
TÜV certified for safety, Risk Class 5.
I/O transceiver modules are triple redundant and can be removed 
and replaced without interrupting system operation. 
Module Operation
A block diagram of a typical I/O transceiver module is shown in 
Figure 1. 
Each I/O transceiver module communicates with one of the three 
processor modules in the controller assembly. During I/O 
Safetybus communications, the control logic on the I/O transceiver 
module reads the I/O chassis’ identification code from the I/O 
commands and compares them to the chassis’ identification switch 
settings. Appropriately addressed I/O commands are directed 
along the chassis’ backplane Safetybus to the I/O modules.
