2. Description and Operation Introduction

2. Description and Operation

2.1 Introduction
This section explains the output circuitry, control logic, data, logic power and connections for the DSO15 Digital Output
(DSO) Module. The DSO module is a digital signal interface between a Harmony controller and the process field devices.
The Harmony controller communicates with its I/O module on an I/O expander bus (Figure 1-1). Each I/O module on the
bus has a unique address set by its address dipswitch (S1).

2.2 Module Description

The DSO15 module consists of a single printed circuit board that occupies one slot in a module mounting unit (MMU). It
outputs eight separate digital signals through onboard, electromechanical relay contacts.

Two captive screws on the faceplate secure the DSO15 module to the module mounting unit. The upper two front panel red
and green LEDs indicate the module operating status. The eight lower front panel red LEDs display the module relay states
(active/nonactive).

The DSO15 module has three card edge connectors for external signals and power (P1, P2 and P3). P1 connects to logic
power (+5 VDC) that drives the module circuits. P2 connects the module to the I/O expander bus to communicate with
a controller. P3 is used to supply power (+24 VDC) to the relays and to provide the relay contacts to the field devices.
The DSO module interfaces with the field devices using a cable connected to a termination unit (TU). The terminal
blocks (physical connection points) for field wiring are on the termination unit.

2.3 Outputs
The DSO module switches voltages up to 120 VAC for AC voltages or 48 VDC for DC voltages. This voltage energizes
(turns on) and de-energizes (turns off) a field device.

2.4 Module Block Diagram

The DSO module consists of registers, buffers and interface circuits. They control the relay switching and transmit I/O
module operating status back to a controller. Electromechanical relays provide the switching functions.

The following figure (Figure 2-1) shows a block diagram of the DSO module. It displays signal flow through the module.

Figure 2-1 Block Diagram

2.4.1 Digital Output Circuits

Each of the eight output circuits consists of a changeover contact of an electromechanical relay. The COM, NC, and NO
contacts are available for the field devices on the P3 card edge connector (Figure 2-1). The onboard relays are driven by
two transistor array integrated circuits which provide an extra voltage suppressor diode for each channel.

The data selector block drives the output circuits and lights the front panel output status LEDs. It uses data from the output
register or default register to do this. During normal operation, it selects the output register data.

2VAA001595 2-1
Output Control Logic 2. Description and Operation

2.4.2 Output Control Logic

An output register holds the data that controls the outputs. The I/O expander bus interface writes controller data to this
register. This data, sent to the data selector, determines the relay states (active or nonactive).

Default data from the controller is sent to the default register. The controller configuration sets the default values (function
code 128). The default register is reset to logic zeros during power up to drive the outputs to a de-energized state. FC 128
in the controller configuration selects the output values used to drive the output circuits in the event of a controller failure
(time-out). If FC 128 is not defined, then the outputs change to a de-energized state during a time-out. Refer to section
2.11- Bus Fault Timer of this user manual for further explanation of time-out.

The default control logic block is a one bit latch register. It sends a signal to the data selector block to select either the
default register data or the output register data during a time-out (indicating a controller error). This signal is dependent on
the controller configuration (FC 83, specification S2). The bus fault detector in the I/O expander bus interface checks for a
time-out condition. During a time-out, the data selector block normally selects the default register data. If a hold option is
selected in FC 83, the default control logic circuits send a logic one to override the data selector. It causes the data selector
to drive the outputs with the output register data instead of default data to maintain the outputs at their current values (hold).

2.4.3 Status Logic

The status buffer block provides module status information to the controller. This information is output states, and module
identification and status. The controller reads this data through the I/O expander bus interface. Refer to section
2.4- Module Block Diagram of this user manual for an explanation of the data.

2.5 Output Circuit Connections

The output signals connect to the 30-pin card edge connector P3 of the DSO module using a termination cable from a
termination unit (TU). Proper polarity wiring of field signals is necessary for the output circuits to function properly.

2.6 I/O Expander Bus

The I/O expander bus is a high speed, synchronous, parallel bus. It provides a communication path between controller and
I/O modules. The controller provides the control functions and the I/O module provides the input/output functions. The P2
card edge connector of the I/O module connects to the bus.

The I/O expander bus is parallel signal lines located on the module mounting unit backplane. A 12-position dipshunt placed
in a connection socket on the MMU backplane connects the bus between the modules. Cable assemblies can extend the
bus to six module mounting units.

A controller module and its I/O modules form an individual subsystem within a Harmony control unit (HCU). The I/O
expander bus between controller and I/O subsystems must be separated. Leaving a dipshunt socket empty or not
connecting cable assemblies joining module mounting units together.

2.7 Universal I/O Expander Bus Interface

The DSO module uses a custom gate array to perform the I/O expander bus interface function. All the control logic and
communication protocol are built into an integrated circuit (IC). This integrated circuit provides the following functions:
• Address comparison and detection.
• Function code latching and decoding.
• Read strobe generation.
• Data line filtering of bus signals.
• Onboard bus drivers.

2.8 Module Data

Function code 83 in the controller configuration accesses the DSO module on the I/O expander bus. It also allows the
controller to automatically read status data from the I/O module, and write output data to it. The I/O module address in FC
83 must be the same as the address set on the digital output module address dipswitch (S1).

2.8.1 Status Data

Status data consists of three separate eight-bit bytes read by the controller. The first byte contains readback data that
reflects the state of the relays. The second byte is not significant, it exists to have compatibility with the other DSO modules.

The third byte is the module identification and module status. I/O module identification is in the four most significant bits
(MSB). It identifies the I/O module to the controller. It also verifies the I/O expander bus communication integrity and the

2-2 2VAA001595
2. Description and Operation Output Data

controller configuration. I/O module status is the least significant bit (LSB). During initialization, the controller writes data to
the output register and default register, and forces this bit to a logic one. A reset or time-out (bus fault error) resets it to a
logic zero. Default data is normally written only during controller startup. The controller reads the module status bit to test for
a change in the state of the module. It uses this bit as a signal to rewrite data to the module to ensure that proper default
values are in the default register.

2.8.2 Output Data

Output data is one eight-bit byte sent to the output register. Each bit of data represents one output. The bit value reflects the
state of the output. Logic one turns a field device on; logic zero turns it off.

2.8.3 Default Data

Default data is one eight-bit byte sent to the default register. It is set by the controller configuration (FC 128). The function of
this data is the same as the output data but is used only when a time-out occurs.

2.9 Logic Power

Logic power (+5 VDC) drives the DSO circuits. It connects through the top 12-pin card edge connector (P1) shown in
Figure 2-1.

2.10 Relay Power

Relay power (+24 VDC) drives the onboard relays. It connects through the 30-pin card edge connector (P3) shown in
Figure 2-1. The power line is protected against polarity inversion due to a cabling error on the termination unit.

NOTE: Logic power ground and relay power ground are tied together inside the module.

2.11 Bus Fault Timer

The bus fault timer is a one-shot timer that is reset by the I/O expander bus clock; the controller generates the bus clock. If
the clock stops (indicating a controller error or failure), the bus fault timer times out in 10 milliseconds. This causes the
digital outputs to change to their default values. A red front panel status LED indicates a bus fault (time-out).

2.12 Status Led Indicator

Two front panel module status LED indicators show the operating state of the DSO module. Circuits on the DSO module
determine the module status and light the LED accordingly. Section 4- Operating Procedures of this user manual describes
the LED indications and section 5- Troubleshooting provides corrective actions to take.

2.13 Mounting Hardware

Harmony rack I/O modules and termination units mount in standard ABB enclosures. The number of modules that can be
mounted in a single cabinet varies.

An IEMMU21 or IEMMU22 Module Mounting Unit and an NFTP01 Field Termination Panel (FTP) are used for module and
termination unit mounting respectively (Figure 2-2). The mounting unit and termination panel both attach to the side rails in
standard 483-millimeter (19-inch) enclosures. Front mount and rear mount MMU versions are available to provide flexibility
in enclosure mounting.

A module mounting unit is required to mount and provide power to rack-mounted modules. The unit is for mounting
controllers, I/O modules, and communication interface modules. The MMU backplane connects and routes:
• Controlway.
• I/O expander bus.
• Logic power to control, I/O, and interface modules.

2VAA001595 2-3
Mounting Hardware 2. Description and Operation

The Controlway and I/O expander bus are internal cabinet, communication buses. Communication between rack controllers
and communication interface modules is over Controlway.

the module.

3.5 Wiring Connections and Cabling

The DSO module has three card edge connectors to supply logic power, establish I/O expander bus communication and
provide digital outputs (P1, P2, P3 respectively).

3.5.1 Wiring
When you install the DSO module in the module mounting unit, it connects the DSO module to the logic power (+5 VDC),
which is necessary to drive the circuitry, at P1. It also connects P2 to the I/O expander bus for communication with the
controller. P1 and P2 connections require no additional wiring or cabling.

NOTE: Install a dipshunt on the backplane of the module mounting unit to connect the I/O expander bus between the
digital output module and the controller. Locate the modules, so that the bus can connect the modules, otherwise the
modules do not communicate.

5. Troubleshooting Introduction

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Introduction
This section explains the error indications and corrective actions for the DSO15 Digital Output Module.

5.2 Error Indications and Corrective Action

The DSO module status can be obtained through a human system interface, such as a workstation running Conductor NT,
or the front panel status LED indicators.

NOTE: Look at the DSO module front panel relay output status LED indicators and if none are lit, this may indicate a
faulty DSO module (a relay must be energized to light an LED). Check the controller for bad quality on its output blocks.

5.2.1 Module Status LEDs

The two front panel status LEDs have three states to indicate normal operation and error conditions.

The following table (Table 5-1) lists DSO module status LED states, error indications, probable causes and corrective
actions.

NOTE: If the corrective actions in Table 5-1 do not correct a problem with the DSO module, replace it.

5.2.2 Controller Errors

The controller performs status checks on the DSO module. An error appears in the report function of a human system
interface. Refer to the Human System Interface manual for an explanation of these reports.

2VAA001595 5-1
Module Pin Connections 5. Troubleshooting

FC 83 output block N in the controller configuration is the DSO module status flag (logic zero=good; logic one=bad). Use a
human system interface to monitor this block. If the status flag is a logic one, check the front panel module status LEDs and
the human system interface report function to determine corrective actions.

NOTE: If FC 83 specification S3 is set to zero, the controller trips when the DSO module fails. Changing specification S3
to a one allows the controller to continue to operate if any DSO module error condition exists.

The address set on address switch S1 and in the controller configuration must be the same. The controller generates a
MISSING SLAVE MODULE if they do not match. Verify that the address set on switch S1 is the same as the address in FC
83 specification S1.

Follow the given steps to set switch S1 address to same address in FC 83 specification S1:
Disable the output signals before removing the module to prevent damage to the edge
connector pins.

1. Drive the module’s relays to a nonactive status.

2. Disconnect the relay power supply (+24 VDC).
3. Remove the module and change the setting of address switch S1 to correspond with the controller configuration
(refer to section 3- Installation of this user manual for the procedures to set an address and to install a digital
output module).
- or -
4. Modify the address in the controller configuration (FC 83 specification S1) to correspond with the address set on
address switch S1 of the digital output module.
5. Use a human system interface to modify the configuration.

NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Human System Interface Manual for procedures on how to modify a function
code specification.
Disconnect power before installing dipshunts on the MMU backplane. Failure to do so will
result in contact with cabinet areas that could cause severe or fatal shock.

The controller generates a MISSING SLAVE MODULE error, if the I/O expander bus is not connected between it and the
DSO module. Verify the bus connection on the MMU backplane.

If the I/O module is faulty, replace it with a new one. Refer to section 7- Repair and Replacement of this user-manual for
procedures to replace a DSO module.

5.3 Module Pin Connections

The DSO module has three connection points for external signals and power (P1, P2 and P3).
