Monitored Guarded output modules provide Guarded control and line monitoring for sixteen field loads. Three types of modules are available for interfacing to outputs powered from 24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 120 VDC field power supplies.
These modules are referred to as Guarded because each module's dual-redundant design ensures that no single fault within the module can inadvertently apply power to an output. In addition, the modules monitor the output field wiring for open-circuit and short-circuit faults.
Individual output line status is made available to application programs, allowing continuous supervision of output operation and field wiring integrity.
Each output module is configured using the WINTERPRET I/O Configuration Editor. To configure the module, follow the four steps below:
1. Set the Module Type
- Position the cursor on the module slot you wish to define
- Select Set Module Type from the Edit Menu, then choose the appropriate Monitored Guarded Output Module from the list
2. Edit the Module Definition
- Select Edit Module Definition from the Edit Menu
- A dialog box will open, allowing you to define the output point definitions for the module
3. Configure Single or Dual Mode
- With the cursor at the top of the list in the Module Definition dialog, open the Monitored Guarded Output Module Definition dialog by pressing Enter or double-clicking the "(Module)" selection
- If the module is to operate in dual mode (wired in parallel with another module for fault tolerance), check the Dual Mode selection in the dialog box
- Enter the I/O Assembly number (1-16) and I/O Slot number (1-10) of the redundant module. This must be done for each of the two modules operating in dual mode
4. Edit Each Output Point
- From the Module Definition dialog box, select Edit to define a name and description for each output point
- In the Monitored Guarded Output Point dialog, enter the names and values for the configuration fields as required
