INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The 4-Channel Analogue Output Module MAO04NND (Figure 1-1) provides analogue output
signals.
October 2005
The module is a rack mounted, 9U high unit that provides the output control interface between
the
SC300E processing environment and the user field environment. It has four current loop
output
channels. All field outputs are galvanically isolated from the SC300E system but have a
common
Circuit triplication and voting procedures make the module single-fault tolerant and latent
testing ensures that the failure of a channel will be recognised and reported to the SC300E
system. Front panel indicators show the state of the circuit ‘on-line’ status and the health of
the module. Sockets are provided on the front panel for monitoring the outputs.
The module, which is compatible with ‘dual slot hot repair’, can be fitted in any of the ten I/O
slots in the SC300E chassis. ‘Wrong slotting’ is prevented by physical coding. The SC300E

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIO
N
PHYSICAL
The MAO04NND is a 9U high PCB with integral front panel and rear connectors. A plug-in
daughterboard carries the common interface circuits. Figure 1-1show
including the location of the connectors, covers and configuration links.
The front panel provides the following: Three ‘On-Line’ indicators A ‘Health’ indicator
An On/Off line request switch
Five test jacks (4 line and a common) for monitoring the output lines.
Each monitor point gives 0 to 5.5Vdc negative with respect to common, determining the current
flowing
in
the corresponding 0 to 22 mA output. Each monitor point has a 10k ohm resistance
in series to prevent malfunction if the monitor point is short circuited -so
resistance meter is required for accurate readings.

with holes in corresponding blocks in the chassis and prevent the module being inserted into
the wrong slot. The pins in the module blocks are factory installed in a pattern determined by
the module and corresponding set screws are removed from the chassis coding blocks to

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
All connections to the MAO04NND are made via DIN 41612 connectors.
The upper connector is the system triple I/O bus connector. The middle connector is for the
field
inputs and outputs. The lower connector is electrically in parallel with the middle
connector.
System interface
This MAO04NND acts as a slave to the MPP masters, and communication between three
MPPs and the MAO04NND takes place over the triplicated 16 bit parallel I/O run
module’s upper system interface DIN 41612 connector.
Field interface
The MAO04NND outputs and feedback connections are wired via one of the connectors (J2 or
J3) to the termination card TPH44AIC.
Current loop outputs

MPP buses that
MPP buses are connected via the
Four 0 to 22mA with common return. The termination card has a precision resistor for each
channel to control the current. This allows two modules to be used for dual-slot hot repair
purposes using the same termination card.
CONFIGURATION LINKS
The module contains a hardware identity circuit that enables system identification of the
module, and seven manual configuration links, JP1 to JP4 and LK1, LK2 and LK3.

Mode settings
The module contains a hardware identity circuit that enables system identification of the

rned on-line.
Link 1 allows the module to be set up for 321 or 320 mode operation which sets the threshold
that
determines how much of the circuit can be degraded while still preserving overall operation.
320 mode means that the system will continue to function with two out of three serviceable
circuits. If the number falls to one out of three the last read data is maintained. In
321 mode the system will continue to function with one out of three serviceable circuits. If that
fails
the last read data is maintained and the module is taken off-line.
Link 2 (HLV/GTZ) determines whether, in the event of a failure due to 321/320 action, the last
read
values are held (HLV) or are set to zero (GTZ).
Link
3 is always set to HW.
Latent fault detection (LFD) on outputs
The voted analogue voltage outputs from each channel are compared in turn with the D-to-A
outputs. The LFD scheme employed is to change each channel’s output in turn by 0.4V for
1ms, first negatively then positively, leaving the other channels unchanged. At each change,
the discrepancy between every channel and the common output is tested by a window
comparator. If a difference is detected on the deviated channel and the other two are 'same'
then
no
latent fault is detected and the Health LED is illuminated.

Voting operates so that the LFD deviations do not appear on the combined output. If a fault
causes health to fail, no further LFD testing is performed.

Analogue outputs
Five test-sockets are provided for monitoring the output lines: one common terminal via 2.2k
ohm to the +24V field supply, and the other four via 10k ohm to the current-determining
resistors on the termination card. These resistors are 250 ohm, so 20mA of loop-current

The four analogue voltage outputs use 12-bit DACs to produce +0.4V to –6V
field +24V common, applied across resistors on the termination card. The
three channels go through a voting scheme using FETs to select the middle-value output, so
that if one channel fails high or low, one of the other two outputs will be selected (see Figure 2
2).
The resultant current of 0 to 22mA determined by the voltage and resistor is fed to the field
device, then returns to the supply negative via the termination card.

Common interface
The three discrete control circuits in the common interface (A, B, and C) (Figure 2-3 ) are each
responsible for the control of the corresponding one third of the I/O module circuits. Each
control circuit comprises a microcontroller with a dedicated watchdog, data buffers and shared
RAM.
The circuit is powered via the module and permits live insertion of replacement modules.
The
microcontrollers co-ordinate I/O signal processing, signal path diagnostics, on-line/off-line
status and signal status read/write cycles to and from the SC300E processors via an I/O
communications bus. All I/O modules have an identification code which is read by the common
interface and passed to the MPPs for verification. The on-line/off-line status is determined by
the MPPs. If, for maintenance purposes, the On/Off Line Request switch on the front of the
module is operated, the action is read by all three microcontrollers and the request passed to
the MPPs which may then grant the request. The watchdog on each microcontroller

SERVICING
SCOPE
Repair is by module replacement. Faulty modules are not repairable in the field. They should be
replaced by new modules and returned for repair.
CAUTION 1
Before fitting a new module ensure that the setting of all links is the same as that on the old
module.
The module contains components that may be electrostatically sensitive, it should be
transported and stored in its original packaging.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
CAUTION 4
Failure to take the faulty module off-line before removing it from the chassis could trigger a fault
alarm.
CAUTION 5
When inserting a module ensure that it is aligned with the markings on the chassis rails and
that
it
engages with the top and bottom guides. Improper insertion may cause damage to the
module and/or chassis connectors.
Single-slot hot repair
Field loop current will not be supplied during changeover.
1.
Operate the On/Off Line Request switch on the faulty module. The three On Line LEDs
should all extinguish to indicate that the MPPs have recognised the request and taken
the
module off-line.
2.
Slacken the two module securing screws and use the black ejection levers (top and
bottom) to draw the module from its slot.
3.
Insert the new module ensuring that it engages properly in the upper and lower guides
in the chassis. The top and bottom chassis rails carry alignment marks to assist. Pull
out the ejection levers and as the module is pushed back engage the levers on the
chassis rails. The levers should then be used to draw the module into position; some
resistance will be felt as the rear connector pins engage. The module should be fixed
in position with the securing screws.
4. Operate the On/Off Line Request switch and check that the three On Line LEDs
