 Module function

2 Module function

The RMP420 module is a stand alone interface unit between 32 multipurpose channels
on the field side and a single or dual remote process bus (RBUS) connected to a host
controller computer (RCU). All channels handle DI, DO, AI, AO, Potentiometer and
PT100 signal types. Two channels (ch. 31, ch. 32) handle pulse, frequency and encoder
signal types in addition to the common signal types.

Figure 1 RMP420 block diagram

The RMP420 provides a number of interfaces and functions.

The main function blocks are:
• Power supply
• RBUS interfaces
• Communication controller
• I/O with signal conditioning circuitry
• Self diagnostics

311165/B 7
Kongsberg RMP420

2.1 Power supply and loop power

24 VDC loop power to the RMP420 is provided via the terminal blocks X1 to X4. The
four power terminals are interconnected and feed the 32 HSD circuits.
Note
If several digital output loops are used, it is mandatory to wire the external loop
power to at least two terminal groups (X2 and X4) to get sufficient cross section of the
connection. Remember, if all 32 channels are of the solid-state output type, the total
current consumption can reach 32 A (1A from each HSD).

The module uses the loop power to generate several internal voltages (see illustration
below). To protect the power supply components against overvoltage a tranzorber is
connected on the input side. However, external fuses must be used on the power input to
limit input current.

Figure 2 Power supply principles

8 311165/B
 Module function

2.2 RBUS interface

Two multidrop RS485 serial lines are used. RBUS A and RBUS B are galvanically
isolated from each other and from the I/O part of the module.
Manchester Coding is used in order to avoid timing problems and reduce cabling cost.
The RBUS cable also supply power (+24 VDC) to the isolated part of the RS485 line.
The RBUS 24VDC power supply can be the same as the host computer supply.

2.3 Status LED

The module is provided with a two-coloured status LED. The LED is located on the
front of the module. It is green when the system is running and no error is detected.
It is red otherwise.

Table 1 Status indicators on module front

LED name Colour, state Function

Status Green, fixed Module has been configured and is ready to run.
Green - dark, flashing Normal operation. Dark flashing for each scan, i.e. input/output
messages are received.
Red, fixed Serious HW or SW error condition occurred. Fail-safe is activated.
Red - Green, flashing Illegal address switch setting (00).

2.4 Module address

Each module must be set to a unique address number that identifies this module among
the others connected to the multidrop remote I/O bus (RBUS). The address number
is represented by two decimal switches, MSD (most significant digit) and LSD (least
significant digit).
The address is compared with the RBUS address set out from the RCU. If they are
identical, the module responds.
The total number of RIO modules on one RBUS is 99 (address range 1 to 99).

2.5 Field-loop power-driver capability

The RMP420 has for each of the 32 multipurpose channels a High Side Driver (HSD) for
providing 24 VDC loop power.
The HSDs are designed for both resistive and inductive loads and offers short circuit
protection of the loop.

311165/B 9
Kongsberg RMP420

A software based fuse function protects the HSD from overheating if the current exceeds
1A. At overload, which may occur if the output loop is short circuited, the High Side
Driver (HSD) is switched off by the embedded firmware, and status is reported to the
system operator. By performing an operator command in the application system, the
system then resets the HSD to correct state after the short is repaired or has disappeared.

2.6 Analog/digital inputs/outputs

The RMP420 provides interface for a variety of signal loop types (see Figure 3).
All channels have the same ground reference. The +24 V Loop Power terminals are
interconnected between terminal blocks X1 through X4, and the Loop Power Ground
terminals are interconnected in the same way.
All output terminals (CHnHi) have been individually protected against over-voltage by
power diodes. Over-voltage will thus be clamped to the power rails.
Digital input is read as an analog voltage, which makes it possible to test the loop for
different states of validity (see also Self diagnostics). Using the resistors of the digital
input loop, as shown in the figure below (the DI 24 V typical), open circuit and short
circuited loops can this be detected.
The input circuit is internally low-pass frequency filtered to reduce noise (R = 100
ohm, C = 2.2 μF).

 Module function

Figure 3 Signal loop principles

Note
Regarding earth fault detection, if external I/O power topology is implemented, KM
supplied earth fault monitoring solution (EFI) will not provide a fully functional earth
fault monitoring.
For detailed I/O loop information see the appropriate KM generic HW loop-typical
drawing describing the specific I/O loop.

See also Technical Specifications section for interface information.

2.7 Pulse input (channels 31 and 32 only)

The pulse/frequency/encoder input can be 0 - 5 V or 0 - 24 V compatible (configurable
from system user interface).
The pulse input can be configured to perform the following functions.
• Pulse counter on
• Pulse frequency (maximum 10 kHz) on
• Encoder counter up or down frequency (maximum 2.5 kHz)

311165/B 11
Kongsberg RMP420

Figure 4 Pulse input interface principles

The module will accept switch/open collector, current transmitter (7/9 mA), Namur or
Encoder input. In order to reduce power dissipation and thermal stress of components,
the inputs have the following characteristics:

2.8 Failure handling

2.8.1 Software controlled fail-safe
SW fail-safe is based on programmed settings. While the fail-safe function is enabled
and the module either loses contact with the RCU or the RCU stops, either of the
following fail-safe modes can then be achieved:
• Configured value
Each output enters a predefined fail-safe value after a programmed delay has elapsed
(default value is 6 seconds). The configurable fail-safe value is individually set for
each channel.
• Freeze
The last received data values from the RCU are kept on the outputs.
The controller computer can send a command to the module that immediately sets the
module in an active fail-safe state, which results in output values based on either of the
two bullet-marked items above.
All setting of the fail-safe function is available from the system configuration tool.

2.8.2 Major failure

The module is provided with a HW watchdog logic and DSP failure output.
• If a serious HW error occurs in the module, all output channels are set to high
impedance.
• If the DSP stops, the communication interface outputs are set to high impedance (no
communication with the RCU(s) is possible).

2.9 Power ON/OFF

At module power ON (before the communication with the RCU is established) and at
power OFF, all outputs will be de-energized.

2.10 Module grounding

Module ground is wired to the system ground (IE or PE).
In a TN-S-DC system the module can be grounded to IE or PE using the fast-on terminals
FL1 and FL2 according to IEC 60364.
Earth fault detection can be done by using external devices.

311165/B 13
Kongsberg RMP420

Note
This is the recommended ground alternative due to high noise immunity, over-voltage
protection as well as EMC (ESD, RFI etc).

Figure 5 Module grounding in a TN-S-DC system according to IEC 60364

2.11 Self diagnostics

Extensive self diagnostics are built into the module to detect faults related to it.

2.11.1 Module identification code

Every module has been programmed with a unique identification code (ID-code). This
ID-code also identifies the type of module it is, so that the system can supervise that the
correct type of module is installed with the correct address.

2.11.2 Monitoring using watchdog

A watchdog (WD), controlled from the module SW, controls whether the module will
go to fail-safe.

2.11.3 Status shown on front LED

See Status LED on page 9 for details.

14 311165/B
 Module function

2.11.4 I/O loop status

The input signal or read back of output signals can be examined for out-of-range values,
and faults can be detected, such as:
• open circuited loops
• short circuited loops
The signal loop type selected decides what can be detected (see Signal loop principles on
page 11).

2.11.5 Internal circuitry tests

2.11.5.1 Running diagnostics
The Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is continuously tested by using an internal
reference voltage (2.5 VDC). In addition, all internally generated voltages on the module
are monitored.

2.11.5.2 Manual test

The analog output voltage is individually calibrated at 0 V, +10 V for each channel
during manufacturing test.
The current output is calibrated at +4 mA and +20 mA for each channel during
manufacturing test.

2.11.5.3 Temperature
There are two temperature-based functions in the module.
• Temperature can be continuously monitored by the system software.
• Temperature based shut-down with de-energized output, controlled by the module
itself, enabled and triggered by a fixed shut-down temperature.
