1.1. Licensing
Before release 3.5, the toolset requires a parallel port dongle to be fitted to the computer’s parallel port.
This must be present during the final stages of application compilation, when saving the I/O connection
table and when downloading an application.
From release 3.5, there are three choices:
• An updated parallel port dongle, present at all times whilst the toolset is running (T8082P)
• A USB port dongle, present at all times whilst the toolset is running (T8082U)
• A software license, which will require the PC to have an Email client (T8082D)
A software license may be obtained using a separate program. From the Windows Start menu, select
All Programs | Trusted | Licensing.
Figure 1 Licensing Program
If a parallel or USB dongle is present, then ‘ISaGRAF 3 Hardware Key’ will not be grey. To request a
license, click on ‘ISaGRAF 3 Software License’ and click Add.

The File menu from the opening screen allows the user to implement the following:
1. Load the Configurator text buffer with data held within a file on the Workstation. Note that the
buffer is separate from the diagram (graphical representation) of the system. The user is
prompted to build the diagram when loading the buffer.
2. Save the text buffer to a file on the Workstation. Since the buffer and diagram are separate,
the user is asked whether to save the existing buffer or rebuild it from the diagram.

System.
1. Erase the contents of the buffer.
2. Copy the contents of the buffer to the clipboard.
3. Print the contents of the buffer and displayed graphic diagram.
4. Import a configuration. This opens a Toolset application file (‘appli.cnx’, the connection table
source code) and generates a graphical diagram of the Trusted
TM
System, representing
modules for each module found in the application.
The user is prompted to search for the application folder, which will be similar to
..\Toolset\apl\<application>\. On selecting the folder, the appli.cnx file is opened and the diagram is
built.

incorrectly chosen, the modules will have no templates assigned and the diagram should be
checked before continuing. This facility generates the diagram but does not create a buffer.

The EWS may be connected to the Trusted
System either via a serial port to the front panel socket
of the TMR processor (using Maintenance Cable TC-304-01) or via Ethernet to a Communications
Module. Two tabs are provided to select these options.
On the ‘Serial’ tab, the Communications Ports’ drop-down menu lists all available serial ports on the
EWS. The remaining settings should be left at their defaults, unless the Trusted

System
communications configuration has been changed. Selecting a serial port defines that port as the
communication channel, regardless of the settings on the ‘Ethernet’ tab.

If the Trusted
System has previously been configured for Ethernet communications (using the
System.INI configuration) then further communications may be made quicker by Ethernet. On the
‘Ethernet’ tab, enter the TCP/IP address assigned to the socket used on the communications module.
Leave the port defined as 6000 unless changed in the System.INI configuration.
This options window is displayed if a System.INI file is downloaded without defining the
communications method.

The View menu allows the user to sort existing templates in alphabetical order. This facility is
replicated by a button on the right-hand side of the display.
The Archive Tool menu allows the user to save the template configuration, extract the template
configuration, completely delete template configuration, archive templates and restore templates.
These archives ensure that an entire System.INI configuration and associated templates are backed
up correctly and available to transfer to another Engineering Workstation. Refer to section 2.16 for
details. Note that from release 3.5, templates are extracted from the System.INI file itself, and so only
the System.INI file needs to be archived. However, if the configuration needs to be transferred to a
toolset issue before release 3.5, then a template archive is necessary.
All templates are listed in the Existing Templates window on the display. The contents of each
template may be viewed by selecting the required template. This will cause the contents of the selected
template to be displayed in the Quick View window of the display. Selecting Edit on the right hand side
of the window will allow modifications to be made to this existing template.

2.3.3. Template Types
There are ten types of template which may be created.
1. Threshold – defines the state of selected I/O module channels dependent upon the input signal to
the channel.
2. LED – defines the colour and mode (flashing, steady or off) for channel LEDs for different channel
states.
3. Channel Forcing – defines the state the unconnected channels must be forced into to provide a
healthy (unalarmed) system state.
4. Module System Information – defines the specific timeout periods allowed for the module
Watchdog and IMB (Inter-Modular-Bus ).
5. Module Flags – defines the flag settings for the I/O module.
6. Module Filter – defines the internal filtering values for the I/O module.
7. Additional – allows the user to define additional Command Line Interface (CLI) entries that are
external to the configuration data.
8. Shutdown – allows the user to define the output action required when the module enters the
shutdown state (for example when the application is stopped).
9. Channel Type – allows the user to configure a channels operation (input to output) for the 8448
module.
10. De-energised Short Circuit Detection – allows the user to enable short circuit detection for de-
energised outputs.
These are available for each module type as below.

2.3.4. Threshold Templates
Input modules monitor and calculate the voltage level from the field at each channel to determine the
appropriate state to report to the TMR Processor. After the module has calculated the input channel
voltage, a state is then determined based on the channel threshold settings. There are 8 possible
states (0 to 7). An example of these state thresholds is shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1 Digital Input Threshold Diagram
States 0 to 6 are based on the calculated voltage. One additional state (7) is reported when the
module has completely failed. The description of the states shown above is in terms of a line
monitored digital input switch configuration.
There are fixed minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) thresholds for the module, but each channel
has eight configurable thresholds as illustrated above. Each state transition has a hysteresis shown by
the grey areas in the diagram.
Issue 14 Feb 10 PD-T8082 21

The rules for configuring thresholds are as follows:
TM
Toolset Suite T8082
• Each threshold must be greater than or equal to the previous threshold, i.e. T2 must be greater
or equal to T1, T3T2 etc…
• The state associated with each threshold is between the threshold settings, except that the
lower threshold must be higher than Tmin (in the valid OC state range), and the upper
threshold must be lower than Tmax (in the valid SC state range).
• Threshold values are defined as fractions of a volt. For example, the 8403 Digital Input
Module, thresholds are represented as 512 counts per volt; e.g. a value of 8400 represents
16.406 volts (8400/512). The appropriate module Product Description defines the threshold
fraction used.
2.3.5. Threshold Template Editor
The Threshold Template Editor window is shown in Figure 10 below.
Figure 10 Threshold Template Editor
There are two types of entries for this section: default settings that apply to all channels not individually
configured, and individual channel settings.
The syntax for entering module default thresholds is:
default = <T1>, <T2>, <T3>, <T4>, <T5>, <T6>, <T7>, <T8>
The syntax for entering individual channel thresholds is:
channel# = <default> | <T1>, <T2>, <T3>, <T4>, <T5>, <T6>, <T7>, <T8>
Issue 14 Feb 10 PD-T8082 22
Trusted
If no entries are made to customize the thresholds, the module sets all channels to default settings. For
example, in the 8403 Digital Input Module these are as follows:
default = -2304,-1971,3046,3072,7168,8192,14848,15872
The bar graph details the current voltage thresholds. These have been applied to Channel 1 of the I/O
module in Figure 10 above by selecting the Set button (part of the Channel Action group of buttons).
These values may be applied to all channels on the I/O module by selecting the Set All button.
Alternatively, the user may select individual channels by selecting the channel number and then
selecting the Set button.
The threshold values may be changed by dragging the horizontal lines on the bar graph. These values
may also be changed by entering the voltage values in the windows of the Volts area. The vertical
slider may be used to demonstrate the threshold settings.
Channels that have previously been Set but are no longer required may be deleted by selecting the
Remove button.

2.3.6. LED Templates
1. Input Modules
This template defines the mapping between the input state and the front panel indicators for the
specific module. The mapping defines the required operation for all input channels. An LED mapping
entry is made using the syntax shown below.
state# = <OFF | RED | GREEN [+FLASH]>
If no entries are made in this section, the module will operate with the default LED mapping. The
example in Table 2 below shows defaults for the 8403 Digital Input Module, which are suitable for
inputs without line monitoring devices installed.
0 =
1 =
2 =
3 =
4 =
5 =
6 =
7 =
8- = Red –
Note: States 8 through 15 all represent channel fault states.
LED templates define specific LED states. For example, if inputs are installed with line monitoring
devices, the LED mapping entries can be made to flash red for the corresponding states that indicate a
line fault condition, i.e. Open circuit, Indeterminate and Short circuit.
Red –Out of range
Off –Open circuit
Off –Open field contact
Off –Indeterminate contact state
Green –Closed field contact
Green –Short circuit
Green –Overrange
Off –

2. Output Modules
This section defines the mapping between the output state and the front panel indicators for the
specific module. The mapping defines the required operation for all output channels. An LED mapping
entry is made using the syntax shown below.
state# = <OFF | RED | GREEN [+FLASH]>
f no entries are made in this section, the module will operate with the default LED mapping. The
I
example in Table 3 below shows defaults for the 8451 Digital Output Module, which are suitable for
outputs without line monitoring devices installed.
0 = Off – Not used
1 = Red – No field supply voltage
2 = Off – Output de-energised (off)
3 = Green – Line open circuit
4 = Green – Output energised (on)
5 = Red – Field short circuit
6 = Off – Not used
7 = Off – Not used
8- = Red –

Note: States 8 through 15 all represent channel fault states.
Input and Output Module LED templates are configured using the Module LED State Editor. On
creating an LED template, select ‘Module’ in the LED Config section. The Module LED State Editor is
described in section 2.3.7 below.
2. Zone Interface Modules
TrustedTM 8448 Zone Interface Modules can have each channel defined as an input or an output using
a Channel Template. In this case, one single LED definition for all channels is not appropriate. The
LED states for this module are configured using the Channel LED State Editor. On creating an LED
template, select ‘Channel’ in the LED Config section. The Channel LED State Editor is described in
section 2.3.8 below.

2.3.7. Module LED State Editor
From the Template Creation window, select LED Template and select Module in the LED Config
section. Select the Edit button. This will cause the Module LED Editor window to be displayed, as
shown in Figure 11 below.
Figure 11 Module LED State Editor
To change the colour and operating mode of the LED, point and click the left-hand mouse button on
the required State LED icon. These changes will apply to all channel LEDs on the I/O modules that
this template is applied to. The LED appearance for each state is then animated on the editor window.
When the correct LED states have been entered, the user must select the OK button. This will return
the user to the Template Creation window which permits the newly created template to be saved. The
filename must not include any spaces. Underscores are recommended.
Note that state 7 is a module fault. States 8 to 15 are not used for modules except the 8449 Valve
Monitor Module. For this module, valve outputs and position inputs are grouped in pairs. States 0 to 7
are the output states 0 to 7 described in section 2 above. States 8 to 15 are the position input states 0
to 7 described in section 1 above.
