15 DO8P (DIGITAL OUTPUT UNIT, PNP)

D201129

15.1 USE
The DO8P is an eight−channel digital output unit which includes a channel−specific current−
limited voltage supply. Each channel of the unit has output which is carried out with a
mechanical relay. The type of the output is a switch which is normally open.

The unit controls signal lights, solenoid valves etc. with a PNP output or motors and valves
through supplementary relays.

15.4 SIGNAL LIGHTS

There are eight yellow signal lights on the unit, marked 0...7.

The signal light is lit when the output state of the channel in question is ’1’.

15.5 FAULT BITS

The unit is equipped with a channel−specific, current−limited field power supply. In case the
ON line short−circuits to the COM line or to earth on the field, the current limit limits the
current fed to the field to 200 mA. The ”Line fault control” (lfcntrl) parameter of the configu-
ration symbol can be used to control how the application reacts to this fault situation. When
choosing the parameter value, it must be taken into consideration, that a fault on one channel
shows as a fault in all the channels on which ”Line fault control” (lfcntrl) has been set to value
1.

In fault situations in which the process control server is not able to read back the output value
from the I/O unit, the default action is that the output which was read back to the application is
freezed and the fault bit ’OLD’ is added to it. The processing of the output which is read back
and the operation of the ’OLD’ fault bit can be controlled by using the ”Output fault control”
(infcntrl) parameter of the configuration symbol.

15.6 CONFIGURATION

15.6.1 Symbols
The symbols can be added in the I/O − MIO M80 menu of the Metso DNA Engineering Func-
tion Block CAD tool.

The parameters and default values of the symbol:

15.6.2 Parameters connected to run−time operation

Output module name

I/O function identifier.

Card type
I/O unit’s exact type.

Rev. 4
196 ACN I/O Units, M80 Series

IO cabinet
The identifier of the I/O cabinet where the I/O unit is located.

FBC slot (2−15)

FBC slot number.

IBC number (0−15)

IBC Bus Controller number.

Card place (0−15)

I/O unit’s place in I/O group.

Channel number (0−7)

I/O channel number.

Fail safe time (fsafetime)

The parameter “Fail safe time” (fsafetime) is the time, following a break in communication,
required to set the fail safe mode value of the I/O unit’s analog output to the setting “Fail safe
value” (fsafeval).
Timing is started according to the “Fail safe mode” (fsafemode) parameter, either from the
last output value coming from the main or reserve IBC or from the last time the unit has re-
ceived a clock message. The last value is sustained in the output until the time “Fail safe
time” (fsafetime) has elapsed.
If “Fail safe time” (fsafetime) = 0, the value of “Fail safe value” (fsafeval) is not used, but the
output is frozen at the last value received from the IBC.
The parameter is encoded as follows:
0 = hold last valid value 8 = 2 min
1=1s 9 = 4 min
2=2s 10 = 8 min
3=4s 11 = 16 min
4=8s 12 = 32 min
5 = 16 s 13 = 1 h
6 = 32 s 14 = 2 h
7 = 1 min 15 = 4 h

During controlled switch−over to the redundant PCS, “Fail safe time” (fsafetime) must be
greater than the switch−over time. Otherwise, the I/O unit sets its output to “Fail safe value”
(fsafeval) during the switch−over time because it receives no output value from main or re-
serve IBC during this time.

Fail safe value (fsafeval)

The parameter “Fail safe value” (fsafeval) is the safe mode output value. It is set to the digital
output of the I/O after “Fail safe time” (fsafetime) has elapsed without connection to the IBC.

Fail safe mode (fsafemode)

Fail safe control mode:
0 = FBC – I/O connection monitored.
1 = Received updates monitored.

Additional parameter (a_param)

Output fault control (infcntrl)

Input fault control upon read−back.

This parameter specifies the read−back value, which is returned to PCS when there is no con-
nection to IBC or to I/O unit. This parameter is used when the user wants to control the read−
back value in the case of power supply failure, when the I/O has no backup power available.

The parameter determines the value returned to process control server and the unnecessary
alarms generated by the fault bits can be avoided. The parameter has no effect on the OVF
fault bit (real−time unreliable).

Output fault control parameter is encoded as follows:

0 Read−back value freezes and OLD fault bit is set.
1 If connection to IBC but not to I/O unit, both the read−back value and the fault bits
remain as they are. If no connection to IBC, read−back value freezes and OLD fault
bit is set.
2 If connection to IBC but not to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 0, no change to
fault bits. If no connection to IBC, read−back value freezes and OLD fault bit is set.
3 If connection to IBC but not to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 0, OLD fault bit is
set. If no connection to IBC, read−back value freezes and OLD fault bit is set.
4 If connection to IBC but not to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 1, no change to
fault bits. If no connection to IBC, read−back value freezes and OLD fault bit is set.
5 If connection to IBC but not to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 1, OLD fault bit is
set. If no connection to IBC, read−back value freezes and OLD fault bit is set.
6 If no connection to I/O unit, both the read−back value and the fault bits remain as
they are.
7 If no connection to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 0, no change to fault bits.
8 If no connection to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 0, OLD fault bit is set.
9 If no connection to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 1, no change to fault bits.
10 If no connection to I/O unit, read−back value is set to 1, OLD fault bit is set.

Line fault control (lfcntrl)

A parameter used in read−back operation.
0 = No control (EXT fault not possible)
1 = Control on (EXT fault is possible)
