Analog field signals are conditioned and multiplexed into
analog-to-digital (A to D) converter and converted into 12-bit
digital data. These digital values are stored in the module’s
RAM. The digital logic circuits are optically isolated from the
analog field signals to protect the logic circuits from external
field signal transients and over voltages.

Analog Input Modules
(T3420A, AF)
The processor modules send triplicated read data requests to
the analog input module over the I/O Safetybus. The
processors’ addressing data and data read requests are voted
by the module (preventing I/O Safetybus failures upstream
from the module from affecting module operations). The voted
result is then passed to the I/O bus interface logic.
After receiving the voted data read request, the I/O bus
interface logic retrieves the analog data values from the RAM
and places the data into the module’s three bus drivers. Each
of the three bus drivers is independently powered and
controlled (by the I/O transceiver modules) — preventing
failures in a single driver from propagating to the other two /O
busses. The bu
s drivers then transmit the data via the
backplane I/O Safetybus to the I/O transceiver modules which,
in turn, transmit the data to the processors.
The 12-bit analog input data is packaged as a 16-bit integer.
In this format the analog data is the least significant bits,
providing analog input data ranging from 0 to 4095. Two of
the remaining four bits are used to flag alarms as shown in

Application
Analog Input Range Selection
The possible input voltage ranges are the same for both
differential and single-ended modes. Since current
measurements are converted to voltages using external
precision resistors, the same voltage ranges apply. Choices of
input voltage ranges include unipolar, bipolar, and offset
ranges. All ranges are selected by setting jumpers located
inside the module.
Table 1. Analog Input Ranges.
Input Out of Range Detection
If the analog signal is well beyond the normal operating range
selected, the NOSIG contact associated with the analog point
will be enabled. Note that there are some out-of-range signals
that do not set the NOSIG bit. The out of range thresholds for
each input range are shown on page 37.
Absolute Signal Ra
The absolute working range for any analog input signals is
from -10.3 volts to +10.3 volts with regard to AGND (analog
ground). The acceptable common mode voltage range (either
differential or single-ended with regard to its appropriate
analog reference input) is from -10.3 volts to +10.3 volts.

Sampling Speed
The rate at which each of the analog input channels is
sampled depends upon the mode of operation. Each channel
is given a 225 msec time slot during the multiplexing proc
During that time slot, the input voltage is connected to the
measuring system, the measuring system is allowed to settle,
the settled value is sampled (and held), and is then converted
to a 12-bit value by an analog-to-digital converter. The
channels are sampled in numerical order. In single-ended
mode, the 16 channels are sampled in 3.60 msec on a
continuous repeating basis. In differential mode, the eight
channel pairs are sampled in 1.80 msec on a continuous
repeating basis. Converted data are
RAM and can be accessed by the controller. Data for a given
channel is available at the previously stored value until an
updated conversion replaces it.
Sampling speed is unrelated to internal access speed within
the Regent system. Programming and other features
determine how often the Regent system can access the
converted data. There are no “lockout times” when the Regent
system is prevented from reading the current stored values of
the converted data.

Single-Ended References
Whe
n single-ended input mode is selected, the ground
reference for all eight signals on the same input field wiring
terminal block is AREF1 on the top terminal block and
AREF2 on the bottom. This ground reference may be
different from the external I/O analog ground AGND also
available on the same connector. When used with the analog
input terminal block assemblies (T3325-XX), both AREF1 and
AREF2 are isolated from AGND by 1K Ohm resistors.
When the single-ended signals are measured, the appropriate
ground reference for the signal is selected by another
multiplexer on the board, and becomes the reference for the
measurement. In differential mode, AREF1 and AREF2 are
not used as references.

Analog Input Modules
(T3420A, AF)
Input Over Voltage Protection
All analog inputs, regardless of mode and analog references
(AREF1 and AREF2), are protected from over-voltages (these
ranges are shown on page 37).
Current Measurement Considerations
Precision resistors external to the module are required to
convert currents to voltages that can be measured directly by
the module. The resistors can be mounted on field marshaling
terminals or are provided using the appropriate analog input
termination blocks. For differential current measurements,
both sides of the external resistor are brought onto the
module.
It is possible to mix current and voltage measurements on the
same module as long as they can work with the same voltage
range selected. In the case of single-ended measurements,
this either requires that both current and voltage
measurements are referenced to the same reference point
(AREF1 or AREF2), or that voltage inputs be on one set of
eight inputs and current inputs on the other set.
Input Range and Mode Selection Jumpers
The jumpers that determine the mode and input range for the
module are set at manufacturing time for an input range of 1
to 5 volts and the 16-channel, single-ended input mode. If
other input ranges or another mode is desired these jumpers
must be repositioned to the appropriate settings.
There are 17 jumper locations that are used. They are
summarized in Tables 2 and 3, below. The module’s cover
must be removed to access and reposition the jumpers.

Input Low-Pass Filters
Two rows of jumper connections (J506 and J507) allow
selection of onboard capacitors to create single-pole low-pass
input filters on the board. Jumpers are placed on these
connections to select either single-ended or differential filters
as appropriate.
In single-ended mode, the filtering is done with respect to the
appropriate AREF1 (or AREF2) input line. A 10K Ohm
resistor is in series with each analog input line (this resistor is
also a part of the over voltage protection system for the
module as well), and the capacitor is on the multiplexing side
of the resistor. There are four rows of eight pins labeled J506
and J507, for single-ended mode filtering install jumpers
across row J506 and row J507 (for a total of 16 jum

Fault Tolerant Configurations
For critical inputs, redundant input modules are used in a
2oo3 or 1oo2 fault tolerant configuration. In these
configurations the redundant input modules are connected to
single or multiple sensors. If redundant sensors are installed
in the field, the redundant modules are connected so that each
sensor connects to one of the redundant modules. These
configurations are illustrated in Figure 6, sho
redundant input modules. Each analog input module is hot
replaceable. In redundant input configurations, if a fault
occurs on one module, it can be removed and replaced while
the system continues to sense the inputs from the remaining
two input modules.

to connect a 24 VDC power source in the input loop to power

In fault tolerant input applications where redundant analog
input modules interface to single sensors, the analog input
signals connect in parallel across the redundant input
modules. In current input configurations, the three modules
connect in parallel across the single external 250 Ohm
resistor.

There are no user-replaceable parts inside the module.
Modules must be calibrated for the particular input range
within which they will operate. All modules are calibrated
before being shipped by ICS; however, modules require
calibration whenever:
· the module is configured for a different operating voltage
range (factory configuration is 1 to 5 VDC),
· the module is configured for a different operating mode
(factory configuration is 16 channel, single-ended), or
· once per year after installation, to adjust for drift in the
analog circuitry. Drift rates are listed under
Specifications, below. These drift rates should be used to

help you determine the frequency for checking the
calibration of the modules in your installation.
Calibration Methods
Calibrating the analog input module requires that you
connect calibration voltages to all of the analog input
channels of the module and adjust the trimming
potentiometers until the analog inputs read the correct
calibration values. During calibration the module must be
installed in a Regent system and disconnected from the field
signal wiring while the calibration voltages are connected to
the module input signals.
There are three trimming potentiometers which are accessible
through the front face of the module making calibration
adjustments possible without opening the module’s cove
r.
However, the corresponding field wiring will have to be
disconnected from the I/O chassis terminals.
If you do not wish to disturb the field wiring during
calibration, the I/O Extender module (catalog T3322), can be
used. With the analog input module PCB removed from the
module housing and plugged into the I/O extender module,
you can connect the calibration voltages to the I/O extender
module and leave the analog input field wiring in place. This
is the recommended method for calibrating the analog i

During calibration, the analog input module will be

precautions should be taken to ensure that the disconnection
of the field sensors does not pose a safety risk to plant

There are Offset, Gain and CMR (Common Mode Rejection)
potentiometers that are common to all of the analog input
channels. These potentiometers are located on the front of the

channels read between 1 and 3. If one or more channels
reads significantly different, return the module to ICS for
repair.
10. Adjust the DC voltage source to the Gain Input Voltage
value indicated in Table 6 for the configured input range
of the input module. Wait approximately one minute for
the analog inputs to stabilize.
11. Adjust the Gain potentiometer for a reading of 4093 ±1 for
all channels. Verify that all input cha
nnels read between
4092 and 4094. If one or more channels reads significantly
different, return the module to ICS for repair.
12. Repeat steps 7 through 11 and make adjustments if
necessary until both the Offset and Gain values read
correctly. There is some interaction between the Offset and
Gain adjustments so often you will need to repeat these
steps a few times until both the Offset and Gain readings
read correctly without further adjustments.

The module’s red Fault indicator will be on until you
perform a voted reset by pressing the Reset buttons on two
of the Regent processor modules. After the voted reset is
complete, the module’s green Active indicator should turn
on.
Safety Considerations
Table 6. Analog Calibration Voltages.
The analog input modules are TÜV certified as non
interfering and when properly configured are also certified for
Risk Class 5 safety critical inputs. Safety critical
configurations include midvalue selection meth
In safety critical input applications using a single sensor, it is
important that the sensor failure modes be predictable and
well understood, so there is little probability of a failed sensor
not responding to a critical process condition. In such a
configuration, it is important that the sensor be tested
regularly, either by dynamic process conditions that are
verified in the Regent, or by manual intervention testing.

Redundant sensors can be used with redundant input
modules to eliminate any single points of failure and extend
fault tolerance to include the sensors.
For additional safety considerations, please refer to the Safety
Considerations section of the Regent User’s Guide.
