SafetyNet IO Modules

SafetyNet IO Modules interface to safety system field wiring via Field Terminals. The IO Modules and the Field Terminals mount on
Carriers that provide mechanical support, but also connect the internal communication bus and power supply connections to the
Modules. The IO Modules are certified as suitable for use in SIL 2 safety-related applications.

• Certification

The SafetyNet IO Modules are

certified for use in safety-related
applications up to and including SIL 2.
The SafetyNet System achieves this
certification with a 1oo1D architecture.
The SafetyNet IO Modules have been
designed specifically for safety-related
applications and are certified on the
basis of the excellence of their design.
The certification does not depend on
“proven in use” data.

• Diagnostics

The IO Modules perform

comprehensive internal diagnostic tests
as an essential part of ensuring that
the IO can carry out the required safety
function. If the SafetyNet IO Module’s
internal diagnostics detect a fault that
would prevent the SafetyNet System
from carrying out its safety function,

then it will initiate a controlled
shutdown. A controlled shutdown has
two objectives – firstly, to ensure that
the IO Module enters its failsafe mode;
and secondly, to record sufficient data
to allow the reason for the shutdown to
be determined. If a SafetyNet Module
enters a controlled shutdown, then
all IO channels are deactivated: input
channels are not scanned; and output
channels are de-energized.

• Bussed Field Power

The Bussed Field Power (BFP)

connectors on the rear of IO Module
Carriers provide the power connections
for field instruments wired to the IO
Modules. For the SafetyNet System,
BFP must be 24 VDC and supplied by
MTL’s 8914-PS-AC units. These power
supplies may be used in redundant
pairs, if required.

• Live Maintenance

SafetyNet IO Modules can be removed

and replaced in a Class 1, Division 2
or Zone 2 hazardous area - once the
relevant Bussed Field Power (BFP)
connection has been isolated using
an appropriate hazardous area switch
(such as the MTL951). Removing
and replacing the Modules does
not interrupt the operation of the
other parts of the node. If a Module
is replaced by another Module of
identically the same type, then no
intervention is required for the System
to begin operating normally once the
Bussed Field Power is restored.

• Line Fault Monitoring

In addition to the comprehensive

internal diagnostics the SafetyNet IO
Modules can monitor field wiring for
line faults.

Safety and Distributed Control

• Event Logging

Data from SafetyNet IO Modules can

be time stamped and stored by the
SafetyNet Controller before being
downloaded to the PAC8000 SOE Data
Retrieval Client or a 3rd party historian
package. SafetyNet IO Module data
is time stamped with a resolution of
better than 200ms.

• Failsafe Mode

IO Modules will enter Failsafe Mode

from the Running State either due
to loss of communications with the
Controller or because the module
has received an instruction from the
Controller to enter the Failsafe State. In
this state:

– The Red Fault LED is lit

– The IO Module is flagged as

unhealthy to the Controller

– All Railbus Write requests are

rejected, except instructions to Reset
or to exit the Failsafe State

– Inputs and HART data are read

– Outputs are de-energized

– Background diagnostics continue and

if a failure is detected, the module
will enter Controlled Shutdown

• Controlled Shutdown

A Controlled Shutdown is carried out if

a fault is detected in the Module. In this
state it can communicate the reason
for shutdown.

• LEDs

A number of LEDs are provided on each

IO Module to provide visual indication
of the status of the Module, its channels
and its power supply.

• Module ‘Fault’ LED (red)

– On - Failsafe

– Off - Normal operation Flashing

(equal:mark space ratio) – Cold start in
process, will flash until communication
is established with SafetyNet Controller.

– Blinking (On for a short period, then On

for a longer period – morse code ‘a’) –
Fault state after controlled shutdown

• Module ‘Power’ LED (green)

– On - Power OK

– Off - BFP or Railbus Power Failure

• Module ‘Channel’ LED’s (yellow)

– See Individual Module Specifications.

PAC8000 SafetyNet

PAC8000 Process I/O

PAC8000 delivers full-specification performance in harsh process environment conditions; extreme temperatures, humidity or
corrosives and conditions subject to shock and vibration. In ATEX environments, PAC8000 also excels. All components can be mounted
and maintained in Zone 2/Division 2 hazardous areas. The I/O includes types that can be connected directly to Intrinsically Safe (Exi)
or Increased Safety (Exe) field wiring. PAC8000 provides comprehensive diagnostic data on Controllers, Bus Interface Modules, I/O
Modules, field wiring and field instruments, allowing users to respond to issues quickly and effectively.

PAC8000 I/O can be used in conjunction with intelligent Controllers on architectures which require distributed control (Refer to
Section 2 Conventional Control Systems). Alternatively, where remote I/O is required, the node can use a Bus Interface Module (BIM)
or a network scanner. A range of BIMs are available for connection to remote hosts using different protocols. PROFINET, Modbus RTU,
PROFIBUS DP and Modbus TCP/IP.

Benefits of PAC8000 I/O

• Bus Interface Modules

For architectures that require remote

or distributed I/O, PAC8000 uses
Bus Interface Modules (BIMs) to act
as a network interface or scanner.
Some BIMs can be used redundantly,
mounted on the same BIM carrier to
increase availability. BIMs that can only
be used in simplex mode can work
with the 8510-NS-MO Node Services
Module, which stores the relevant
parameters, so that insertion of a
new replacement triggers automatic
configuration of the unit and the node.

• I/O Modules

A broad range of PAC8000 I/O modules

are available to meet the needs of
different applications. All modules
provide comprehensive diagnostic
information. Analog and discrete
output modules are typically 8­channel, with 8-, 16- or 32­channel discrete input modules.
The maximum number of I/O Modules
that can be mounted on a node
depends on the BIM type – either 24
(PROFIBUS DP types), 32 (Modbus
RTU type) or 64 (Modbus TCP/IP type)
modules can be mounted on each
node. Modules that mount in zone 2
and can accept field wiring to zone 2
are known as PAC8000 2/2 modules.
Modules which mount in zone 2 and

are compatible with intrinsically safe
field wiring are known as PAC8000
2/1 modules.

• Environmental and Hazardous

Area Operation

PAC8000 can go where other products

cannot. They can be field mounted
and will operate under the following
conditions:

– -40°C to +70°C ambient

temperature

– ISA Level G3 corrosive

atmospheres

– 30g shock and 5g vibration

– Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2

hazardous areas, with I/O field wiring
including intrinsically safe (Exi) and
increased safety (Exe) options.

Safety and Distributed Control

• LAN Redundancy

Different LAN Redundancy options

are available from the different
BIMs. PROFINET BIMs support a ring
architecture (PROFINET’s “Media
Redundancy Protocol”, or MRP), the
Ethernet BIM supports redundant,
fault tolerant Ethernet and the Modbus
RTU BIM can operate two LANs in a
number of different ways based on
its configuration. The 8507-BI-DP BIM
can provide redundant LANs when
redundant BIMs are installed.

• HART Pass-through

All PAC8000 BIMs are designed to work

with HART field instruments when
combined with appropriate HART­capable Analog I/O Modules. This allows
remote asset management packages to
communicate directly with HART field
instruments. The PROFINET BIM due
for initial release will have this feature
in 2013, and the 8505-BI-MB Modbus
BIM requires the use of the 8512-IF-HA
HART Interface Module to enable HART
pass-through.

• HART Acquisition

PAC8000 HART I/O Modules can directly

address smart instruments and provide
HART process and status information
directly to the host. This enables
the implementation of a number of
advanced techniques such as live
re-calibration of the 4-20 mA loop by
continually comparing it to the original
digitized measurement from
the transmitter.

• Upgrading Legacy System
Installations

The Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet BIM

shares the same hardware as the
PAC8000 Intelligent Controllers. It can
be upgraded from a BIM to a Controller
by a simple firmware download. This
feature is particularly useful in legacy
system upgrades, by following a process
such as:

– The PAC8000 Ethernet BIM and I/O is

used to gradually replace failed legacy
system I/O, acting as new remote I/O
to the legacy host – connected by

either Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet,
or Modbus RTU over an RS485
serial link.

– Many legacy control rooms have

little free space, so users can take
advantage of the PAC8000’s harsh
and hazardous environmental
performance to mount the new I/O
remotely on the plant, close to the
field instruments, freeing up space in
the control room.

– Once the entire legacy I/O has been

replaced, the legacy host
can be removed and the control
capability of the Ethernet BIMs
enabled to instigate distributed
control on a new platform, with
no legacy issues.

• Ease of Use

A range of features provide simplified

day-to-day operation of a process
automation system:

– Only field wiring is connected to field

terminals – field power is
connected to the carrier’s
terminals, simplifying field wiring
tasks and I/O module replacement.

– I/O modules feature LEDs to assist

with fault finding in I/O modules and
field wiring.

– Field terminals and I/O modules

are keyed to each other. It is
impossible to make an unsafe
combination of terminals
and modules, or inadvertently
replace a failed module with an
incorrect replacement.

– When replacing an I/O module, the

Controller or Bus Interface Module
will automatically bring it online if it
recognizes the type as correct.

– Online download of new application

programs is possible with simplex
Controllers, and online download of
new firmware is often possible with
redundant Controllers.

• Power Supplies

12 V System Power must be

connected to each node. This can
be supplied by the AC Power Supply
8913-PS-AC or the DC Power Supply

BQ2320-9R-EX. The Ethernet BIM also
requires its own 12 V Controller Power
connection. Using 12 V for the
internal communication bus allows live
module removal from the Carriers, even
in zone 2 hazardous areas. Different 2/2
I/O Modules require different Bussed
Field Power Supplies. This power supply
is connected to the node via connectors
on the back of the I/O Carrier, and is
routed through the I/O module to the
field wiring. It will normally be necessary
to isolate this supply before removing
the module. As the name suggests,
Bussed Field Power can be bussed along
the back of the I/O Carrier to simplify
connection of the various supply
voltages a node may need. All the power
for 2/1 modules is supplied through
the Carrier, with System Power being
provided by the dedicated IS Power
Supply 8920-PS-DC.

• Addressing of I/O modules

Modules are addressed in terms

of their position, or slot, on the
Carrier. As a result, a module can be
removed and replaced by another of
the same type and the system will
resume operation, including the new
module, automatically. And since all
configuration data is stored in non­volatile memory, the configuration is
retained even during a power cycle and
without the need for internal batteries.

• Sequence of Event Recording

The 8127-DI-SE module can time

stamp input changes for Sequence
of Events recording. This function is
supported on PAC8000 Controllers
and Ethernet BIMs.

• Integrated Control and Safety

The majority of PAC8000 I/O Modules

can be mounted on SafetyNet SIL 2
functional safety nodes, together
with SafetyNet I/O Modules and
Controllers, to implement Integrated
Control and Safety Systems. (Modules
8129-IO-DC and 8133-HI-TX are not
supported by SafetyNet).

• Engineering Tools

The configuration tool that is required

by each of the different BIM types is
given in the comparison tables.

PAC8000 2/2 4-20 mA Analog Input Modules

2/2 4–20 mA Analog Input modules measure the current in a 4–20 mA field instrument loop and
report the value read on each channel. The 4-20 mA analog input modules have eight channels.
When the current is measured outside the 4-20 mA range, the module detects this and reports
open and short circuit line faults.

Analog input modules “with HART” can obtain information from HART instruments of protocol
revision 5.0 or later. Each channel can communicate with a single HART instrument. HART universal
command 3 is used to access data on up to 4 dynamic variables and status from each instrument.
This provides more process information to the control system from each device. Compensating
for A/D and D/A errors and comparing the value reported by the module with the original
measurement taken by the field instrument can result in greater accuracy. In addition, HART pass­through may be used for device configuration, calibration and advanced diagnostics by remote
asset management packages.

When used with a PAC8000 Controller or the Ethernet BIM, the 8127-DI-SE can perform time stamping on input data to within 0.25 ms (max.) between two
channels within the same module, 0.5 ms (max.) for channels on different modules on the same node and 5 ms (typ.) for channels on different nodes (the

PAC8000 2/2 AC Discrete Input Modules

AC Discrete Input modules can accept up to 8 or 16 inputs, depending on module type. The source
voltage for field switching can be provided through the module (sourcing modules) or from an
independent field supply (sinking modules). In operation, the input voltage is compared against a
threshold voltage to create a ‘true’ or ‘false’ condition. A pulse counter is also included which can
count the number of input pulses for each of the channels.

DC discrete output modules can provide 8 or 16 discrete channels, depending upon module type.
The output voltage for the sourcing types is determined by the Bussed Field Power connected to
the I/O Carrier. (Note – each BFP connection provides the field power to two adjacent I/O modules).
All modules feature solid state relay outputs for reliability – with 8-channel modules switching 1 A
per channel continuous and 16-channel modules switching 0.5 A continuous. Higher currents can
be switched for short periods of time, with the limit of 16 A per module. 8-channel modules can be
used with the field terminals that include fused disconnects to simplify panel design.

PAC8000 2/2 Pulse/Quadrature Input Module

The PAC8000 Pulse/Quadrature Input Module is a 2-channel device, when used for simple pulse
inputs, and a single channel device when used for quadrature pulse measurement with suitable
encoders. In pulse mode the module can count pulses at up to 50kHz, in quadrature mode up to

12.5kHz. The unit can measure pulse counts, pulse frequency or rate of acceleration.

Pulse input channels can be configured independently to interface to 2- or 3-wire 4-20 mA
transmitters, voltage or current sources and switches or proximity detectors. Thresholds for pulse
counting can be configured by the user, depending on the field instrument type. When using dry
contacts, if suitable resistors are incorporated in to the field wiring loop, the unit can detect open
and short circuit line faults. Additional terminals are provided for re-transmission of the detected
inputs (up to 2kHz) and to allow an input to “gate” (start/stop) the Channel 1 pulse counter.

PAC8000 2/2 DC Discrete HDC I/O Module

The PAC8000 Discrete HDC module is derived from the equivalent SafetyNet SIL 2 module – and
features the same high level of internal and automatic Diagnostic Coverage (hence, HDC). The ability
of the unit to detect and report its own internal faults ensures that, when used in redundant I/O
applications, the Controller or host is provided with the data necessary to determine when operation
should be switched to the standby module. The diagnostics also allow the host to be confident that
the standby module has not developed a fault prior to being switched in as the new master.

The 8129-IO-DC has 8-channels which can be individually configured to be inputs or outputs.
Outputs can switch up to 2 A per channel continuously and can also be configured to be
pulse output.

PAC8000 2/2 4-20 mA Analog Input HDC Module

The PAC8000 4-20 mA Analog Input HDC module is derived from the equivalent SafetyNet SIL 2
module and features the same high level of internal and automatic Diagnostic Coverage (hence,
HDC). The ability of the unit to detect and report its own internal faults ensures that, when used in
redundant I/O applications, the Controller or host is provided with the data necessary to determine
when operation should be switched to the standby module. The diagnostics also allow the host to
be confident that the standby module has not developed a fault prior to being switched in as the
new master.

Standard PAC8000 I/O Modules (such as the 4-20 mA Analog Output type) can be used with the
Redundant Switching Module, but they do not carry the same level of internal diagnostic coverage
as the HDC modules. The host would only switch to the standby module when line faults are
detected or if the module enters failsafe as a result of a major internal fault.

The 8133-HI-TX has 8-channels for interfacing to conventional 4-20 mA circuits and supports both
HART pass-through and acquisition.

PAC8000 2/2 Addressable Smoke and Heat Detector I/O Module

The PAC8000 Addressable Smoke and Heat Detector Module interfaces to devices that
communicate Apollo Discovery protocol. Each module can manage a ring of devices – with both ends
of the ring connected to a single module.

Up to 126 Apollo XP and Discovery devices (detectors, sounders, beacons and actuators)
can interface to a single 8139-SH-DC module and each PAC8000 Node can support up to
10 8139-SH-DC modules. Intrinsically safe Apollo instruments are supported via Apollo
protocol converters and isolators.

If required, like other standard modules, the 8139-SH-DC module can be mounted on SafetyNet
Controller nodes to work alongside SIL 2 rated 4-20 mA point-to-point fire and gas detectors.
