Triguard
SC300E MHB44IND Pulse Input and Analogue Output Module
Common interface
The
three
discrete
control
circuits
in
the
C
ommon
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.
The
circuit
is
powered
via
the
module
and
permits
live
insertion
of
replacement
modules.

The
microcontroller
co
-
ordinates
I/O
signal
processing,
signal
path
diagnostics,
on
-
line/off
-
line
status
and
signal
status
read/write
cycles
to
and
from
the
MPPs
via
an
I/O
communications
bus.
All
I/O
modules
have
an
identification
code
which
is
read
by
the
Common
Interface
and
passed
to
the
MPPs
for
verification.
The
on
-
line/off
-
line
status
is
determined
by
the
MPPs.
If, for
maintenance
purposes,
the
On/Off
Line
Request
switch
on
the
front
of
the
module
is
operated,
the
action
is
read
by
all
three
microcontrollers
and
the
request
passed
to
the
MPPs
which
may
then
grant
the
request.
The
watchdog
extinguishes
the
Health
LED
on
the
I/O
module
front
panel
in
the
event
of
a microcontroller
failure,
LFD
action
or
a voting
discrepancy.
