protection on each input channel

Technical Overview

Using the optional termination assemblies with the relevant number

of input modules provides you with
a flexible and scalable I/O capability.

Each field input signal is routed via

a termination assembly and the I/O
backplane to the input measurement devices on the input module.
The incoming data is transferred as
data packets in a serial data stream
to each 9000 Series processor
module via a dedicated I/O module
response bus. This data is analyzed
to determine the input point state
and channel condition.
Signal and power isolation circuits
separate each input channel from
the rest of the system, protecting
the system from field faults.
An independent watchdog arrangement monitors the module
operation and provides additional
fault containment by a shutdown
mechanism should a fault occur.
If a fault occurs in dual or triple configurations during normal operation,
a module can be removed and replaced without disrupting a live system.

Introduction
The 9401 Isolated Digital Input
Module has an adaptable and failsafe design; it interfaces 8 field input channels.
By employing one and up to three
input modules in a simplex, dual or
triple arrangement, the input module can easily be configured for
simplex SIL2 applications, or fault
tolerant SIL3 safety related applications.
Each input channel is galvanically
isolated from the others and the

Internal module power is derived

from the protected and dual redundant 24V system power supply.
Supply voltage monitoring initiates a
warning signal and power off protection mode when a power failure
is detected.
The 9000 series processor module
monitors the status of the input data
path, using built in I/O module diagnostic circuitry to detect faults within
each input channel.
A visual indication of the module
Healthy status and individual
channel status is provided by an
array of front panel LEDs
Termination Assemblies that only
mate with these input modules can
accommodate from one to three
modules. They perform passive
