The SC300E Bridge presents a new opportunity to combine the SC300E Triguard I/O structure with the
latest processing and communications features of Trusted™.
Combining the two products will enable Triguard users to benefit from features such as 3-3-2-0
Processor fault tolerance, IEC 1131 programming suite, Ethernet networks, OPC, Ethernet peer to
peer and remote diagnostics. The SC300E Bridge replaces the Triguard MPP in the Triguard Primary
chassis.
Any system using the SC300E Bridge and Trusted™ TMR Processor can also include Trusted™
Expanders and I/O modules forming a Hybrid system. To the Trusted™ TMR Processor, the Trusted™
and SC300E chassis appear in the same system map. All systems using Trusted™ TMR Processors
can be seamlessly integrated together.

1. Description
1.1 Overview
The SC300E Bridge enables connection between a Triguard SC300E I/O sub system and the
Trusted™ TMR Processor. Three SC300E Bridge modules replace the three MPP modules in a
Triguard primary chassis.
The Bridge module has a fast serial ("Hotlink") interface that transfers command and response packets
between the two product families via the Trusted™ Expander Bus. The module uses a Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for decoding instructions from the Trusted™ TMR processor,
accessing the specified Triguard I/O module and returning any data requested.
Command data received by the three Bridge modules and responses to the Trusted™ TMR Processor
are synchronised in accordance with the Lock Step operational characteristics of the Trusted™
Expander Bus. For this reason, the three bridge modules share their data and arrange their response
packets in the same order for simultaneous transmission. The clock signal received from the Expander
Bus is used to ensure that data from all three Bridge modules is transmitted on the same clock edge.
The Trusted™ TMR processor stores and executes the application program, scans and updates the
Triguard I/O modules and detects system faults. Each of the three slices of the TMR Processor
executes the application program independently, but in lock-step synchronisation with the other two.
All Triguard I/O modules are supported. Triguard Serial Communication modules are not supported. All
communications to workstations and DCS systems are enabled through the Trusted™
Communications Interfaces.

1.2 Power Distribution
Each of the Bridge modules is powered from dual redundant 5.4V dc via the backplane from the
chassis PAC or PDC dual power supplies.
1.3 Communication Busses
1.3.1 The Trusted™ to SC300E Primary Chassis
Communication between the Trusted™ Expander Interface Module and the SC300E Primary Chassis
is via one of a possible four or seven triplicated two-way interface cables. A single backplane
connector card routes the individual links in the cable to the three Bridge modules. Data voting is
provided at the Expander Module Interface to ensure that cable faults are detected.
The link handles the following triplicated signals:
Data - Serial bi-directional bus.
Control - Bus clocks, module-enables and bus direction control.
Slot - Indicating the SC300E I/O slot position to the Bridge.
Expander Chassis ID - 4 bit Trusted™ chassis address code.
1.3.2 Inter-Module Link (IML)
When returning data for Trusted™ Read requests, I/O Module data received by each Bridge module is
shared with the other two using the serial IML via the backplane. The three sets of data are then
arranged sequentially into the response packet for Trusted™. The IML is not used during Write
requests.
1.4 Function
When an I/O access is to be performed, the Trusted™ TMR Processor issues a command packet to
an Expander Interface module. The Expander Interface decodes the chassis address and transmits
the packet through the Expander bus to receivers in the 8161 Bridge modules.
For short distances of a few metres, a twisted-pair copper cable is used, whilst on longer runs the
copper cable is connected to three T8312 fibre optic units at each end of three pairs (Tx and Rx) of
fibre optic cable. The Bridge modules, receiving the command signals, decode the packet.
The Bridge modules then implement the read or write access on the SC300E I/O module selected and
return a response packet via the Expander Bus. The packet will contain both data and diagnostic
information.

2. Installation
2.1 Module
Each of the three Bridge modules replaces one of the Triguard MPP processors. Figure 2 shows the
module. The replacement must be carried out with the system offline.
The modules consist of a single PCB assembly.

2.2 TC-322-02 Interface Cable assembly
The interface cable connects from the Trusted™ Interface Adaptor T8312 to an identical 12 way
socket on the interface cable connector card.
Figure 3 TC-322-02 Interface Cable assembly
Figure 4 Triguard main chassis rear view
Figure 4 shows the interface cable connector card (top left) fitted to three unused connectors on the
rear of the Triguard controller chassis which is connected to the Trusted™ Expander Interface adaptor
via the TC-322-02 interface cable (braided cable on left).
Connectors J1-3 on the TC-325-02 card plug into the three 26-way headers on the Triguard backplane.
The expander cable, TC-322-02, from the Trusted™ Expander Interface plugs into 12-way socket J4.
Note that the chassis Unit ID jumpers will need setting before fitting the interface cable connector card
(see section 2.3).

Figure 5 Trusted™ controller chassis rear view
Figure 5 shows a four socket version of the T8312 Expander Interface Adaptor with a TC-301-01 cable
attached, which connects to a Trusted™ expander chassis. The Expander Interface Adapter has four
or seven connections available to individual Trusted™ Expander chassis or to the Triguard controller
chassis using the TC-322-02 Interface Cable Assembly.
2.3 Module Configuration
The Bridge module requires minimum configuration, namely the setting of Unit ID jumpers 0 to 3 to
define the chassis address to Trusted™. These are situated on the Triguard chassis as shown here.
Figure 6 Chassis Address Jumpers
Unit ID jumpers 0,1,2,3 represent the binary address bits 1,2,4 & 8 respectively. A removed jumper
signals a binary digit ‘1’. The address is set to between 2 and 8. On the first Triguard chassis
(containing the SC300E Bridge Modules), remove jumper 1 to represent Trusted™ address '2' (as
shown in the picture). The jumpers on all three sets must be set to the same address. Leave the
jumpers as they were on the other Triguard chassis. It is usual to attach the chassis with address 2 to
the first Expander Interface Adapter socket, for both Trusted™ chassis and Triguard chassis. This
makes the software configuration easier.

3. Application
All Triguard I/O modules are configured using the IEC1131 application Toolset provided with
rusted™. This configuration requires entries in the System Configuration (System.INI) for the chassis
T
and modules and their hardware operational parameters, and also in the workbench I/O connection
table, for software settings and data connection.
3.1 System Configuration
All Trusted™ systems need a system configuration file, specifying the chassis and modules in the
system. For Trusted™/Triguard hybrid systems, a T8311 Expander Interface is required in the
Trusted™ controller chassis, as for Trusted™-only systems. An example with Expander Interfaces in
slots 1 and 2 (companion slots) and communications interfaces in slots 7 and 8, is shown below. For
details of the System Configuration Tool please refer to product description PD-T8082.
Figure 7 Trusted™ Processor Chassis with Expander Interface
The Triguard chassis are attached to the Expander Interface as if they were Trusted™ expander
chassis, but the various chassis options for Triguard and CS300 are provided on the ‘Insert New
Chassis’ dialog. Right-click on the grey background of the configurator window to insert a new chassis.

The first chassis to be created is a 8161. This includes the bridge modules in place of the Triguard
processors. Choose type Triguard 8161 and select a logical chassis number. This chassis number will
define the switch configuration described in section 2.3.

The chassis should then be allocated to the Trusted™ Expander Interface module. Left-click on the left
or right end of the Triguard 8161 chassis to open the Chassis Connection dialog. Select the slot
number of the left-hand Expander Interface module.
