Introduction
The Trusted
TM
Dual 24V dc Digital Input module interfaces to 60 field input devices. Fault tolerance is
achieved through the ‘One-Out Of-Two D’ (1-oo-2D) voting architecture within the module for each of 
the 60 input channels. 
Each field input is dual and the input voltage is measured using a sigma-delta input circuit. The 
resulting field voltage measurement is compared to user configurable threshold voltages to determine 
the reported field input state. When a line-monitoring device is installed at the field switch, the module 
can detect open and short-circuit field cables. Line monitoring functions are independently configured 
for each input channel. The dual voltage measurement, coupled with on-board diagnostic testing, 
provides 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 are determined by voltage thresholds that can be 
configured on a per channel basis. 
 
Features
• 60 dual input channels per module. 
• Comprehensive, automatic diagnostics and self-test. 
• Selectable line monitoring per channel to detect open circuit and short circuit field wiring 
faults.
• 2500V dc optical isolation barrier. 
• On-board Sequence of Events (SOE) reporting with 1ms resolution. 
• Configurable 50/60Hz digital filtering to eliminate field induced noise. 
• Module can be hot-replaced on-line using dedicated Companion (adjacent) Slot or SmartSlot 
(one spare slot for many modules) configurations.
• Front panel module status LEDs indicate module health and operational mode (Active,
Standby, Educated).
