Introduction SD39SAM-1

This Instruction is divided into four major sections.

• Section 1, Introduction – Contains product description, model designation, specifications and
product support details.
• Section 2, Installation – Describes installation preparation and mechanical and electrical installation.
• Section 3, Circuit Description – Contains a brief, block diagram level description of the module.
• Section 4, Maintenance – Describes preventive maintenance and troubleshooting procedures,
assembly replacement procedures, and spare and replacement parts suggestions.

1.1 Product Description

The Standard Analog Module (SAM) is an APACS+™ I/O element capable of communicating with an
APACS+ Control Module by way of the IOBUS. Figure 1-1 shows the SAM and associated assemblies
and cables.

The SAM mounts in a single MODULRAC or SIXRAC slot. The module's bottom rear connector mates
with either the SAM Termination Strip for local I/O connections or an Interconnect I/O Cable, that in turn
connects to a SAM Marshalled Termination Assembly for remote I/O connections.

The SAM processes up to 32 channels of analog and/or discrete signals. Each SAM channel is separately
configurable as an analog input or output or as a discrete input or output, using ProcessSuite® 4-mation™
Configuration Software. The SAM Termination Strip and SAM Marshalled Termination Assembly each
have 32 terminal pairs plus terminals for cable shields.

Module status is indicated by two bezel LEDs labeled OK and ACTIVE.

A Local Termination Panel is needed to mount a SAM Termination Strip when local termination is
employed. The Panel is not needed for marshalled (remote) terminations.

APACS architecture provides for rack-to-rack redundancy where the redundant rack completely
duplicates the control and I/O modules of the primary rack. Both racks share common I/O terminations at
the Marshalled Termination Assembly via their Interconnect I/O Cable Assemblies.

2 Installation
This section describes installation of the SAM and associated assemblies.

2.1 Preparation
1. Install the MODULRAC and the Local Termination Panel (for local termination only) in the cabinet
where SAMs are to be installed. SAMs should not be installed in the MODULRAC at this time,
however, the MODULRAC slot numbers for SAM installation should be known.
2. If local I/O termination is employed, tag all I/O cables and route them into the cabinet. They should
be ready for cable end preparation and connection to the SAM Termination Strips.
3. If remote termination is employed, tag all I/O cables and route them into the marshalling cabinet.
They should be ready for cable end preparation and connection to the SAM Marshalled Termination
Assemblies.
4. Also, route the SAM Interconnect I/O Cable (or Unterminated I/O Cable) between the marshalling
cabinet and the cabinet containing the MODULRAC. See Figure 1-1; connector J1 will be installed in
the MODULRAC and P2 will connect to the SAM Marshalled Termination Assembly in the
marshalling cabinet.

2.2 I/O Wiring Considerations

Figure 2-1 shows typical local and marshalled I/O wiring. I/O connections between field devices and
either local or marshalled terminations are wired with user-supplied cable. Typical cable has a jacket,
shield and two insulated, twisted-pair conductors. Alternatively, individual insulated wires can be
installed. Regardless, this cabling is referred to as “hook-up I/O cable”.

When marshalled termination is employed, an Interconnect I/O Cable Assembly connects the SAM
Marshalled Termination Assembly to the MODULRAC and SAM. Interconnect I/O Cable Assembly part
numbers and their standard lengths are listed in Section 1.0. An Interconnect I/O Cable length must be
determined before proceeding with the installation of hardware assemblies.

2.8 SAM Installation

Modules are shipped individually packaged in protective, sealed, static-shielding bags. Refer to section
2.4 for module handling considerations.

Each MODULRAC (or SIXRAC) slot and each module must be keyed to prevent accidental installation
of a module into an incompatible slot which may impair system performance. Keying is highly
recommended.
• Modules are keyed at the factory. The keying pattern is unique to each module type (e.g. ACM,
SDM). See Figure 2-8 for the SAM keying pattern.
• A factory assembled MODULRAC is keyed at the factory. A user assembled MODULRAC is keyed
by the user according to the module type assigned to each slot. This keying pattern complements the
module's keying pattern. Stop plugs are supplied with the rack.
• When adding a module to a MODULRAC (or SIXRAC), be sure to key the rack slot.

Section 2.8.1 describes keying a module and a rack slot. Section 2.8.2 describes installing the module in
its rack.

A SAM Termination Strip and a SAM Marshalled Termination Assembly (Figure 1-1) support the
connection of up to 32 configurable analog and/or discrete inputs or outputs. Be advised of the following
when connecting these inputs and outputs to field wiring.
• Consult SAM configuration documentation and wiring diagrams for the assignment of each of the 32
channels. See Figure 2-9 for circuit wiring examples. The optimum grounding arrangement may be
dependent on the equipment being connected and specific site conditions.
• Transmitters must be able to power up with a loop current limited to 22.5 mA, which is the SAM’s
overload protection current limit.
• XTC™ Transmitters require a minimum network resistance of 250 Ω to use an MXC or Model 275
HART® Communicator. A package of 16 resistors (P/N 16056-229) is available.
• Prepare the input signal cable conductors and shield (see Figure 2-10). The cable should have twisted
pairs of solid or stranded #22 or #20 AWG wire. Shielding is recommended.
• Wire each channel (each pair of terminals) as shown in Table 2-1. Table 2-2 correlates channel
numbers and polarity with terminal block numbers.
• When installing rack-to-rack redundancy, wire field devices to the SAM Termination Strips or
Marshalled Termination Assemblies at both involved racks.

SD39SAM-1 Circuit Description

3 Circuit Description
The Standard Analog Module (SAM) receives signals from or sends signals to 2-wire field devices
connected to 32 configurable I/O channels. Each channel can be configured as an analog input or output
channel or as a discrete input or output channel.

The SAM digitizes analog/discrete input signals and transfers them to an APACS control module via
IOBUS. Output signals are generated by the APACS control module and transferred to a SAM in digital
form. The module converts these signals to equivalent analog signals and routes them to the appropriate
terminal pairs.

Although the SAM does not directly support HART communications, it is compatible with HART
devices that generate HART data in addition to their analog signals.

The Standard Analog Module consists of the following circuit elements:

• Central Processing Unit (CPU), Motorola 68302
• Memory (RAM and EPROM)
• IOBUS Interface
• 32 Standard Analog/Discrete Universal I/O Circuits
• Isolated Power Source
• LED Indicators

September 2005 3-1

Circuit Description SD39SAM-1

Figure 3-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the SAM. Figure 3-2 is a schematic of the circuitry in an
analog/discrete I/O channel.

Figure 3–1 SAM Block Diagram

3.1 Isolated Power Supply

The on-board converter uses two switching regulators to produce a non-isolated +5V, isolated ±8V, and
isolated +24V. Power for the MUX/CONVERTER section is supplied by dropping the ±8V unregulated
and isolated supply to ±5V using linear regulators. An Optocoupler and FET are used to switch the
isolated +24V supply to the V/I (Voltage-to-Current) Converter circuits. In a redundant operation, the
stand-by SAM will have this (24V) supply switched off.

3.2 IOBUS Modem

The IOBUS element consists of an IOBUS Modem and dual IOBUS Line Drivers/ Receivers. The CPU
supervises IOBUS communications through handshaking operations with the IOBUS Modem.

The IOBUS Modem performs the following:

• Converts received IOBUS data into a format for data processing.
• Converts digitized field data from the CPU into a format for transmission over the IOBUS to an
APACS control module.

3-2 September 2005

SD39SAM-1 Circuit Description

3.3 V/I Conversion

There are 32 V/I circuits that condition each channel of the field connections. Each SAM channel
provides an isolated and current limited power source to a 2-wire field device. A channel configured as an
input accepts an analog or discrete signal from the field device powered by this module. An output
channel provides a 4-20 mA analog signal or a 22 mA discrete signal to the field device.

Figure 3–2 Analog I/O Channel Schematic

3.4 MUXs/Converters

Channel inputs are read through five low leakage current analog Multiplexers (MUXs). The outputs of the
MUXs are buffered and read by one input channel of an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter). Data from
the ADC is transferred over a serial (SPI) interface to the CPU.

Channel outputs are generated by a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) which receives data over the
Serial Peripheral I interface (SPI) bus. The DAC output is multiplexed and sampled/held. The multiplexer
reads the DAC voltage (sample/hold) reference through a divider network. This permits checks of DAC
reference operation, conversion linearity, and multiplexer leakage current.

3.5 Rack-To-Rack Redundancy

A field device must be wired to the SAM Termination Strips or Marshalled Termination Assemblies at
both involved racks when rack-to-rack redundancy is employed. The 24V field I/O power on the rack
back planes is switched to apply power to the SAM in the active rack and remove power from the SAM in
the inactive rack. When the racks are switched, the field device is continuously powered during the
switchover. Analog output channels will see a doubling of current for 1 millisecond at switchover.

SD39SAM-1 Maintenance

4 Maintenance
The Standard Analog Module and its associated assemblies require minimal maintenance. However,
routine maintenance is recommended in the form of a visual inspection and a possible cleaning.

DANGER

Electrical shock hazard

Explosion hazard

Will cause death, serious injury or property damage

• Remove power from all wires and terminals and verify that there
are no hazardous voltages before working on equipment.
• In potentially hazardous atmosphere, remove power from
equipment before connecting or disconnecting power, signal, or
other circuit, or extracting/inserting module.
• Observe all pertinent regulations regarding installation in
hazardous area.
• Ensure all devices are rated for hazardous (classified) locations.

4.1 Tool And Equipment Requirements

• Common electronic servicing hand tools
• Digital Multimeter (DMM)
• Ammeter with a ± 0.05% of reading accuracy and 1.0 µA resolution

4.2 Visual Inspection

The SAM and its associated assemblies should be subjected to a periodic visual inspection. The frequency
of inspection will depend on the severity of the operating environment.

The primary aim of the inspection is to reveal any excessive accumulation of dust, dirt, or other foreign
material adhering to the surfaces of transition board and protective covers of a SAM. Accumulation of
dirt and dust prevents efficient heat dissipation and may cause module or system failure. A SAM installed
in a cabinet complying with the NEMA 12/IP65 specification need not be inspected for cleanliness. Refer
to section 4.3 for cleaning instructions.

An LED located on the SAM’s bezel indicates its status. Refer to section 4.5 for LED indications.

Maintenance SD39SAM-1

4.3 Cleaning

Cleaning a SAM involves brushing or vacuuming the protective covers to restore cooling efficiency that
may have been degraded by accumulated dust.

Cleaning a Termination Strip or SAM Marshalling Termination Assembly involves careful brushing and
vacuuming to remove accumulated dust and dirt harboring chemical particulate that may accelerate
terminal, switch, or connector contact corrosion.

4.4 Calibration

Each module is digitally calibrated at the factory and should not require field calibration verification or
field calibration.

4.5.2 SAM Inputs and 4 to 20 mA Transmitter Signals

SAM inputs are designed with overload protection circuitry, which blocks current signals exceeding 22.5
mA. Blocked signals result in input failures from which the SAM can recover, provided its inputs are
undamaged after overload conditions subside. Certain transmitters may generate signals greater than 22.5
mA when their measured quantities go off scale and readings become pegged.

Conditions causing over range readings may exist during process start-up, shutdown, or maintenance.
Verify whether your process exhibits such behavior and, if the possibility of SAM input failures due to
transmitter over ranging exists, try the following:
• Expand transmitter operating ranges so that they accommodate measurement swings beyond
anticipated, normal operating values.
• Install signal conditioners or isolators on SAM input wiring to ensure that the 22.5 mA limit is never
breached.

4.6 SAM Removal/Replacement

A module may be installed with power applied to the MODULRAC (or SIXRAC).

4.6.1 Removal Procedure

1. As shown in Figure 2-7, pull open the bezel's pivoted top and bottom handles to expose the module's
slotted captive mounting screws. Loosen the screws.
2. Grasp the top and bottom handles and pull the module from the rack.
3. Place the module in a static shielding bag and package for return. Refer to section 4.11 for return
instructions.

4.6.2 Replacement Procedure

1. Remove the replacement SAM from its protective bag. The module may be safely handled as the
circuit card is shielded from access by protective covers. Retrieve and set aside the keying pin kit.
2. Key the replacement SAM as described in section 2.6.1.
3. Insert the SAM in its MODULRAC slot. Firmly seat the module in the back plane and termination
board connectors. A properly seated module will have the rear of its bezel flush against the
MODULRAC Housing rails.
4. A keyed module that is not matched to a slot will not engage the back plane or termination board
connectors or seat flush against the MODULRAC (or SIXRAC) housing front rails.
5. As shown in Figure 2-7, pull open the bezel's pivoted top and bottom handles to expose the module's
slotted captive mounting screws and secure the module to the top and bottom rails. Close the bezel's
handles when finished.
