WESTINGHOUSE 5X00357G04 Sequence of Events Module

The Sequence of Events module provides 16 digital channels to monitor the open or closed state of digital inputs or contacts in the field. The module provides a filter to reject changes of state less than 4 milliseconds. The Sequence of Events module can also perform event tagging and chatter control for each input channel.

The Ovation Controller writes a channel event tagging mask to the Electronics module to enable event tagging for specific input channels. It has a chatter control flag for each channel to indicate that an input channel has changed state too many times in a period of time or is changing state at too fast a rate. It also has a channel ID to indicate which channel changed state.

Each channel is checked every 125 microseconds. If the channel event tagging mask bit is zero, that channel is not checked. Time synchronization is accomplished by the Ovation Controller writing a time reference simultaneously to all Sequence of Events modules with a 1 millisecond resolution.

The Digital Input configuration contains 16 channels, where each channel has voltage level sensing circuitry used to detect whether an input is on or off. The Sequence of Events module has 16 isolated differential inputs to accommodate separate external auxiliary supplies, or 16 single-ended (common return) digital inputs with an on-card blown fuse detector to accommodate a common external auxiliary supply for all channels. The selection of the Personality module determines if the inputs are differential or single-ended. The input voltage level monitored by the module is determined by the particular card group in the module.

The field side circuitry for the single-ended configuration is shown in Figure 1, and the differential configuration in Figure 2. An input resistor provides the normal mode surge protection and limits the current during normal operation. An opto-isolator provides high dielectric isolation between the field side and the logic or I/O bus side. The Single-Ended Digital Input configuration has a circuit used to monitor the presence of the wetting supply. Two cases cause this monitor circuitry to report a blown fuse status and issue an attention status to the Ovation Controller:

l Fuse is blown on the PDIA.

l Auxiliary supply level is lower than minimum On Input Voltage.
