Channel D/O Module 48Vdc
The
data
streams
are
then
applied
to
the
16
-
bit
output
shift
registers.
The
serial
bits
are
clocked
s
uccessively
into
the
shift
registers
until
the
16th
bit
has
been
received.
The
registers
then
latch
the
data
and
present
it
on
the
16
-
bit
busses
(CHANA,
CHANB
and
CHANC)
to
the
output
switches.
The
data
is
continuously
refreshed
in
this
manner
and
updated
at
each
scan
of
the
SC300E
system.
The
output
switch
for
each
channel
comprises
six
FETs
connected
in
the
series/parallel
network
shown
and
providing
2 out
of
3 majority
voting
between
the
three
paths
A,
B and
C.
A
front
panel
LED
at
the
switch
output
is
lit
when
the
switch
is
closed.
Voltage
and
current
monitoring
circuits
are
also
connected
to
the
switches
to
provide
outputs
for
the
Latent
Fault
Detection
(LFD)
system.
These
outputs
are
fed
back
to
the
microcontrollers
via
dedicated
shift
registers
and
o
pto
-
isolators.
The
feedback
information
confirms
that
the
output
has
switched
to
the
commanded
state
and
that
the
line
is
not
open
or
short
circuit.
Testing
of
the
output
switches
by
the
LFD
circuits
is
co
-
ordinated
by
the
microcontrollers
on
the
common
i
nterface.
When
all
outputs
are
in
the
healthy
condition
and
the
microcontrollers
confirm
no
faults
present,
the
SC300E
processors
(main
processors)
will
instruct
each
microcontroller
in
turn
to
switch
its
output
alone
to
the
opposite
state
and
confirm
the
correct
operation
of
its
individual
output
switch.
The
module
power
requirements
are
served
from
two
different
sources.
The
power
for
the
output
-
side
circuits
is
derived
from
the
chassis
12V
supply
via
dc/dc
converters.
All
of
the
supplies
are
monitored.
Electronic
fuse
circuits
sense
the
current
in
each
output
path
and
cut
off
the
upper
FET
if
the
current
exceeds
a predetermined
limit.
An
On/Off
Line
Request
switch
on
the
front
panel
enables
a request
to
be
sent
to
the
SC300E
system
that
the
module
be
ta
ken
off
-
line
for
maintenance
purposes
or
returned
on
-
line.
The
module
contains
a hardware
identity
circuit
that
enables
system
identification
of
the
module,
and
three
manual
links
1,
2 and
3.
Link
1 allows
the
module
to
be
set
up
for
321
or
320
mode
operat
ion
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
o
ut
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
321/320
action,
the
last
read
values
are
held
(HLV)
or
are
set
to
zero
(GTZ).
Link
2 is
only
active
however,
if
Link
3
(ICCB/HW)
is
set
to
HW.
If
Link
3 is
set
to
ICCB
Link
2 is
ignored
and
its
function
determined
by
soft
ware.
