Triguard SC300E MDO16GNS 16-Channel D/O Module 48Vdc TRANSPORT AND HANDLING The MDO16GNS must be transported and stored in its original packing material which should be retained for this purpose. MDO16GNS October 2005 – Issue 2...
Triguard SC300E TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION PHYSICAL The MDO16GNS is a 9U high module with integral front panel and rear connectors. A daughterboard carries the common interface circuits. Figure 1-1 shows the general layout, including the location of the connectors and front panel details.
Triguard SC300E MDO16GNS 16-Channel D/O Module 48Vdc Figure 2-2 Basic field load circuit Module connectors The system bus connector is J1 and the common interface is connected via J4 and J5 (not shown). All the digital outputs are routed through connector J2. In the external connection...
Triguard SC300E Figure 2-3 Field output connector J2 pinouts Connector J3 pin 1c is connected to earth. All other pins on J3 are connected to field supply return. THEORY OF OPERATION The channel output command information from the main processor follows three identical paths through the MDO16GNS (see Figure 2-4 ), each path is controlled by its own microcontroller in the common interface.

Triguard SC300E MDO16GNS 16-Channel D/O Module 48Vdc The data streams are then applied to the 16-bit output shift registers. The serial bits are clocked successively 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.

Triguard SC300E MDO16GNS 16-Channel D/O Module 48Vdc Common Interface The three discrete control circuits in the common interface (A, B, and C) are each responsible for the control of the corresponding one third of the I/O module circuits. Each control circuit comprises a microcontroller with a dedicated watchdog, data buffers and shared RAM.

Triguard SC300E MDO16GNS 16-Channel D/O Module 48Vdc SERVICING SCOPE Repair is by module replacement. Faulty modules are not repairable in the field. They should be replaced by new modules and returned for repair. CAUTION 1 Before fitting a new module ensure that the setting of the configuration links are the same as that on the old module.

Triguard SC300E When inserting a module ensure that it is aligned with the markings on the chassis rails and that it engages with the top and bottom guides. Improper insertion may cause damage to the module and/or chassis connectors. MDO16GNS October 2005 – Issue 2...
Triguard SC300E MDO16GNS 16-Channel D/O Module 48Vdc SINGLE-SLOT HOT REPAIR Operate the On/Off Line Request switch on the faulty module. The three On Line LEDs should all extinguish to indicate that the main processors have recognised the request and taken the module off-line. The last read data input from the module will be maintained until the new module is on-line.
