1. Description
Figure 1 Module Architecture
1.1. Overview
The TrustedTM TMR Processor is a fault tolerant design based on a TMR architecture arranged in a
lock-step configuration. Figure 1 shows, in simplified terms, the basic structure of the Trusted
Processor module.
The module contains three processor fault containment regions (FCR), each containing a Motorola
Power PC series processor and its associated memory (EPROM, DRAM, Flash ROM, and NVRAM),
memory mapped I/O, voter and glue logic circuits. Each processor FCR has voted two-out-of-three (2oo-3) read access to the other two processor FCRs memory systems to eliminate divergent operation
The module’s three processors store and execute the application program, scan and update the I/O
modules and detect system faults. Each processor executes the application program independently,
but in lock-step synchronisation with the other two. Should one of the processors diverge, additional
mechanisms allow the failed processor to re-synchronise with the other two.
Each processor has an interface with the Inter-Module Bus which consists of an input voter,
discrepancy detector logic, memory and an output driver. The output of each processor is connected
by the module connector to a different channel of the triplicated Inter-Module Bus.

The functions of the four types of module memory are:
EPROM
Flash ROM
DRAM
NVRAM
-Holds module bootstrap loader
-Stores module firmware and the application program
-Working memory with scaleable capacity
-Holds data such as event logs and retained program data.
Note: The NVRAM provides data retention for up to 10 years.
The front panel comprises a Fault Containment Region (FCR D) separate from the other FCRs and
contains non-critical simplex functions. These include the diagnostics port and maintenance enable
keyswitch mounted on the front panel of the Processor. Other functions within the front panel FCR are
the serial communications drivers and the IRIG-B interface. These are accessed though the I/O
connector via adaptor units at the rear of the Processor. The Processor and front panel FCR
participate in all module voting operations.
Two IRIG-B input standards are available to the Processor; IRIG-B002 and IRIG-B122. The standard
used by the Processor is controlled by software setting a flag in the memory. The IRIG-B signals are
used to synchronise systems and time-stamp entries in the Sequence of Events (SOE) log.
Three serial communications are available from the 4-channel UART. These are detailed as follows:
1. Channel 0 Front Panel Diagnostic Port (RS232)
2. Channel 1 Not configured
3. Channel 2 Communications Serial Port 2 (RS422/485)
4. Channel 3 Communications Serial port 3 (RS422/485)
TM
The Trusted
OPERATING SYSTEM (TrustedTM OS) is used in support of the Motorola Power PC series
processor architecture. The real time kernel is a high speed, high functionality kernel made for faulttolerant distributed systems. The distributed communication is made transparent over all processors.
The kernel provides basic services (such as basic memory management), and interference free
software environments which allow software of various integrity levels to reside and co-operate in a
single processing environment.
An Application Program Interface (API) provides a consistent run-time interface for the services
provided by the Trusted
same function to system-specific software executing within the Trusted
TM
TMR Processor to the application program. The API also performs the
Each of the Processor and front panel fault containment regions has its own HIFT clock, which are
provided with a synchronisation reference signal from the fault-tolerant reference clocks.
1.3. Power Distribution
Each of the Processor and FCRs derive their internal voltages from dual redundant +24V dc power
supplied via the module connector from the Trusted
TM
Controller chassis backplane.

2. Installation
2.1. Module Insertion/Removal
CAUTION:
The module contains static sensitive parts. Static handling precautions must be observed. Specifically
ensure that exposed connector pins ARE NOT TOUCHED. Under no circumstances should the
module housing BE REMOVED.
Before installation, visually inspect the module for damage. Ensure that the module housing appears
undamaged and inspect the I/O connector at the back of the module for bent pins. If the module
appears damaged or any pins are bent, do not install the module. Do not try to straighten bent pins.
Return the module for replacement.
Ensure that the module is of the correct type.
Record the module type, revision and serial number of the module before installation.
To install the module:
1. Ensure that the field cable assembly is installed and correctly located.
2. Release the ejector tabs on the module using the release key. Ensure that the ejector tabs
are fully open.
3. Holding the ejectors, carefully insert the module into the intended slot.
4. As soon as the front panel LEDS illuminate, push the module fully home by pressing on the
top and bottom of the module fascia. The module should be inserted promptly to ensure that
it connects to the Interface Adapter before reading the licenses.
5. Close the module ejectors, ensuring that they click into their locked position.
The module should mount into the chassis with a minimum of resistance. If the module does not
mount easily, do not force it. Remove the module and check it for bent or damaged pins. If the pins
have not been damaged, try reinstalling the module.
2.2. PCBs and Connectors
The TrustedTM TMR Processor comprises five separate PCB assemblies:
1. Three identical processor boards
2. One Riser board to provide the connection between the PCB assemblies
3. One module Main board that provides the Inter-Module bus connection and front panel
facilities.

and IRIG-B facilities to be accessed, the user must install the following:
1. Processor Interface Adaptor T8120 for the communications ports.
2. Processor Interface Adaptor Unit (IRIG-B) T8121 for both communications ports and
IRIG-B facilities

Inter Group Delay equates to the Modbus update cycle. This is the minimum period between
successive Modbus update messages sent to each of the Communications Interface modules. The
default value (as shown) is 50ms which provides a compromise between latency and performance.
Adjustment is made in 32 integer ms increments, i.e. a value of 33 will equal 64ms as will 64.This may
be increased or decreased as required, however since only one update message is sent per
application scan, and an application scan may often be more than 50ms, there is little benefit in
adjusting this variable.
