Note: Ventilation requirements necessitate a minimum of 50 mm (2 in) on the top and bottom of each module and to each side of a
module grouping.
Power Requirements
The current draw for the IT. D77A I/O modules can be found in the module specification table for each specific module type. When
specifying the 24 volt DC power supply, the power rating must support the sum of all the modules’ current draw added to the system
power requirements.
For more information on the sizing of power supplies, refer to the IT. QCPort System Install and Planning Guide (Publication No.
MN05001002E).
Surge Suppression
IT. D77A Discrete I/O output modules have built-in surge suppression (snubbers) to reduce the effects of transient voltages. When
connecting output devices that have inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays, motor starters, etc.) additional surge suppression is
recommended and should be added across the load. The addition of customer-supplied surge suppression for inductive loads
prolongs the D77A output life.

The IT. D77A I/O system consists of a collection of input and output modules connected together by QCPort to a network adapter. The
network adapter connects to the industrial network where the controller usually is a PLC or DCS. The input modules collect digital or
linear signals from sensors (limit switches, proximity sensors, temperature transmitters, etc.) and deliver these data to the control
device. In the control device, input data values are placed in data registers. Based on the input data, the control algorithm manipulates
values in the output registers. With each scan of the network, the input and output data registers are updated. With this update, the
output modules have their digital or linear data changed to reflect the control algorithm found in the control device software. The
output devices (solenoid valves, motor starters, temperature gauges, etc.) effect changes to the machinery being controlled.
Out-of-box Default Operation
When the IT. D77A I/O modules are properly installed and each has a properly configured Group ID (address), no additional
configuration is needed for standard operation. To customize the configuration, refer to Configuration on page 34. After customizing
the configuration, the system can be restored to the default out-of-box configuration without a software tool such as CH Studio by
following these steps.
1. Using a screwdriver, rotate the Group ID Switch from the “0” position to the “1” position.
2. Repeat this action five times.
The status LED rapid flashes, signaling that the system is reset to the out-of-box default settings.
Typical Application
Figure 16 illustrates a typical D77A I/O module application this is integrated with a number of IT. starters with QSNAPs. In this
example, a D77A I/O is part of a larger system where motor control and I/O are required within a single panel. On the same QCPort
connection, both the I/O and the motor control are connected to a single network Adapter. The network adapter then represents the
D77A I/O and motor control as remote I/O, allowing for control and monitoring of the QCPort devices.

Figure 17 illustrates the basic signal processing operation. When a signal is present at the input point, the module responds with the
following sequence:
1. Optical Isolation — Optical isolation protects the I/O circuits and communication circuits from possible damage due to
transients and over-voltage.
2. Debounce Logic/Control — A debounce circuit and software limits the effects of transients and electrical noise by requiring the
input to be true for a certain period of time before the logic acknowledges a true signal. Once a true signal is achieved, the logic
turns on the LED.
3. QCPort Com./Logic — The logic updates the QCPort communication on a regular, scheduled basis as to the status of the input
point.

Figure 20 illustrates the basic signal processing operation. Analog signals from four separate channels are received by a multiplexer
(MUX). The MUX sequentially transfers this data to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC measures the analog signal and
converts it to a digital value. This digital value is presented to the controller’s central processes unit (CPU). This data is then presented
to the QCPort for external processing.

Interconnects/Connections
Connecting the I/O modules together and to other IT. family products involves using one or more of the interconnect connectors. The
I/O product family uses two types of connectors:
• The backplane interconnect
• The short run interconnect
These interconnects provide the I/O module with power and communications.
For more information on making interconnects, the use of interconnects and the restrictions placed upon interconnects, refer to the IT.
QCPort System Install and Planning Guide (Publication No. MN05001002E).
QCPort Backplane Interconnect
The QCPort backplane interconnect is used when connecting the Adapter and I/O modules on a DIN rail. The interconnect fits inside
the channel of the DIN rail and provides for connection to power and communication to the Adapter and I/O products (Figure 31 and Figure 32).
To connect the D77A I/O modules together without using a QCPort backplane, use the QCPort connectors that are located at the bottom
of the D77A I/O module. There are two QCPort connections next to each other. They are configured parallel with each other so that
they can be daisy chained together using QCPort Interconnect cables. There are standard sizes for the QCPort Interconnect cables.
These sizes are listed in the “Renewal Parts” portion of “Troubleshooting and Maintenance.”
Note: The maximum current allowed through a QCPort interconnect cable is 1 Amp. The maximum number of modules that may be
daisy chained together using QCPort interconnect cables is calculated by adding the current rating of each device and keeping
the total less than 1 Amp.
When making this interconnect, refer to the IT. QCPort System Install and Planning Guide (Publication No. MN05001002E) for the
recommended cable and connections.

Communication Hints
Table 32: Communication Hints
ProblemSolution
Are all the QCPort devices
connected to one Network
Gateway are not
communicating? Are all the
Status LED’s either Rapid
Flash or 50% On
Is there a single I/O Module
in the system that is not
communicating?
During auto configuration
the Network Adapter will not
detect any of the I/O
Modules.
Check the Network Adapter, is the ST LED Green? – If the LED is green, then perform an auto configuration of
the Network Adapter and see if the problem goes away.
There may be a damaged I/O Module or a shorted QCPort communication wire that is prohibiting QCPort
communications. Remove all the I/O Modules from the QCPort system.
Unplug the Network Adapter from the industrial network.
Cycle power to the Network Adapter.
One by one plug the I/O Modules back in and verify that the status LED is mostly off as they are plugged back in.
When the I/O Module the causes the system to fail is plugged in, the I/O Module’s status LED will rapid flash or
50% flash only.
Remove the I/O Module and check the QCPort connections for shorted or damaged wires or connections.
When all the I/O Modules are online, plug the Network Adapter into the industrial Network.
It is possible that the terminating resistors are damaged, replace the terminating resistors.
The problem may be that the I/O Module has a fixable internal communication failure. Perform a reset by
toggling the rotary switch from 0 to 1 five times, reset the rotary switch to the correct group ID (address).
It is also possible the Group ID rotary switch was changed after auto configuration. Check the rotary switch and
verify that they are in the correct position for that address. Physically move the rotary switch from one position
to another to verify that it is in the correct position (there will be a “snap” when it reaches the next state).
Unplug and replug the device and check that the problem disappears.
It is possible that the communication connections are damaged or unplugged.
It is possible that the terminating resistors are damaged, replace the terminating resistors.
Check the status LEDs on the I/O Module units, if the LEDs are rapid flashing or 50% On refer to the above
problem for a solution.
If the status LEDs on the I/O Module units are all slow flashing, the Network Adapter has already connected to
the I/O Module units and the problem is that the CH Studio software is not displaying the I/O Module units. This
can be because the scanner is not allowing CH Studio to send long messages.
The Network Adapter cannot perform an auto configuration if the system controller is scanning the Network
Adapter. Disconnect the Network Adapter from the industrial network and reattempt the auto configuration.

Table 58: 0x8010 (32784) Device Semaphore
SizeDescription
4 bytesThe purpose of this parameter is to provide a method for tools to access a QCPort node in a non-conflicting
manner.
This parameter consists of a field of 2 UNITs organized as follows:
Byte
Node ID Low byte
Node ID High byte
Lockout Time in tenths of seconds Low byte
Lockout Time in tenths of seconds High byte
If the above 4 bytes are 0, anyone can write to this parameter. This parameter is cleared by the Clear Semaphore
command that can be sent by anyone. If all 4 bytes are not 0 and a write (other than a clear) to this parameter is
attempted, an error message will be returned. The parameter will be cleared when the timer counts down to 0.
If the node ID field is 0, all set parameters to the node will be accepted. If the node ID field is not 0, set parameter
commands to the node will only be accepted from the device having the same node ID as that contained in this
parameter. Note that if the node ID is set to zero at the same time that a non-zero value is loaded to the timer, the
timer will not decrement.
