Module Interface Characteristics, Internal Wetting

The diagram below shows an example of the wiring necessary to connect the HDI-050-XX module to the plant
equipment where the wetting voltage is provided internally from the HDI Module (SW3-SW6 set to WET).
Connector A is configured for internal wetting supplied by an external supply, connector B in configured for
internal wetting supplied by the backplane voltage. The recommended termination board for this card is the TDI-
RACKTERM module (32 channels), refer to the TDI-RACKTERM module description for additional information.

Module Switch Settings

The HDI-050-XX digital input module has a number of user configurable settings selectable by switches, the
position and function of these switches is shown in the diagram below.

Voltage Voltage Connector Backplane

When internal wetting is supplied by the backplane voltage, pins 9 & 28 must be shorted; this is accomplished at the
termination board by installing JP1. The wetting voltage enable circuit will then disconnect the voltage from the male DB37 on
the HDO-050 module when the termination connection cable is unplugged. This will prevent inadvertant contact with potentially
unsafe voltage levels on the DB37 pins. When not using the backplane voltage as wetting supply leave JP1 on termination
board out.

Module Troubleshooting
This section provides some basic information about troubleshooting the operation of the HDI-050-XX
module.
Symptoms
Error message when downloading
a configuration
In Internal Module Wetting mode,
no input seems to be detected
In External Field Wetting mode,
no input seems to be detected
No inputs are reported via a
protocol
Inputs are detected, but the
wrong message is reported via
the protocol
Page 8 of 9
HDI-050-XX Module Description Rev: 2.7
Possible Cause
The hardware configuration has
not been saved
The card has no external DC
supply
The card or channel has no
incoming DC supply or
reference to ground
Incorrect protocol configuration
Possible overlap in the protocol
configuration
Possible Action
Verify and save the hardware
configuration
Verify the LED display. Verify
the presence of external DC.
Verify the switch settings on the
card.
Verify the LED display. Verify
the presence of external DC.
Verify the reference to ground.
Verify the switch settings on the
card.
Using Workbench, visualise the
IO module and verify the correct
operation of the channel. Then
check the protocol
Verify the integrity of the
protocol mapping
