Triguard
SC300E MHB44IND Pulse Input and Analogue Output Module
THEORY OF OPERATION
The
module
has
four
isolated
1Hz
to
35kHz
pulse
-
input
frequency
measuring
channels,
and
four
0
-
22mA
current
output
channels
using
a common
24V
supply
via
termination
card
TPH44A
IC.
The
circuits
are
triplicated
except
for
the
final
combining
of
the
analogue
output
stages
into
a single
voted
output.
Common functions
Power
supplies
and
monitoring
The
5V
and
12V
dual
-
redundant
supplies
from
the
backplane
are
diode
-
OR’ed
to
the
thre
e
channels
plus
an
auxiliary
section.
The
analogue
output
section
is
isolated
by
dc/dc
converters
providing
+5V
and
±15V.
All
the
supplies
and
fuses
are
monitored
by
the
CI.
An
On/Off
Line
Request
switch
on
the
front
panel
enables
a request
to
be
sent
to
the
MPPs
that
the
module
be
taken
off
-
line
for
maintenance
purposes
or
returned
on
-
line.
Mode
settings
The
module
contains
a hardware
identity
circuit
that
enables
system
identification
of
the
module,
and
seven
configuration
jumper
links
(JP1to
JP4
and
LK1
to
LK3).
The
jumper
links
JP1,
JP2,
JP3
and
JP4
must
be
set
to
the
Off
position.
The
operation
of
and
settings
links
LK1
to
LK3
is
described
below:
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
321/32
0 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.
