Introduction

The 3134 32-Channel Relay Output Card provides sourcing switching control of 32 field signals.
The card can switch signals up to 250 VAC or 30 VDC at 0.5 Amperes. You can read back the
command to the output channels using the output readback feature of the card.
I/O bus checking diagnostics, card address tests, and configuration tests are performed each
time the controller accesses the card. All data and control transfers are performed twice, once
using the actual data and then using the data inverted. Both versions of the data are compared
to verify that all I/O bus data bits are functioning properly. The configuration code from the card is
compared to the I/O configuration to check that the correct card is installed in the rack. I/O Bus
slot address and control signal contention tests also are performed. Any fault detected sets
status bits in an error detection variable returned to the user application program.
Watchdog timers on the card can open all of the output channels in the event backplane
communication errors persist.
The card also includes an onboard temperature sensor which can be used to verify the air flow
around the cards.
The thirty-two LEDs on the 3099/40-100 and 3099/41-100 termination modules indicate the state
of each output. An LED, located near the top of the front panel of the card, indicates the overall
health status of the card. If this LED is on, the card is functioning normally; if it is off, the card has
detected an error or is offline.

Failure Rates in Accordance to IEC 61508


The 3134 32-Channel Relay Output card cannot be used for safety-critical functions. However,
the module is non-interfering with other safety-critical modules and therefore can be used for non-
safety related functions.

Cabling
Adhere to the specified insulation strip length of 0.26 inches (6.5 mm) when you connect field
wiring to the terminal modules; excessive insulation strip lengths causes an electrical hazard. Do
not exceed the specified torque when you secure the wires into the terminal module; maximum
torque is 2.2 inch-pounds (0.25 N-m).

Standard cables to termination modules are minimum 5 feet in length.

You must disable (offline) an I/O card before you can hot-swap it. After you replace an I/O card,
you must enable it to return it to operation. While NetArrays is operating in Debug mode, use the
I/O Configuration Form to disable or enable I/O cards. To hot swap an I/O card, first display the
card’s icon in the I/O Configuration Form. If the I/O card’s icon is red, you can remove it. If the
I/O card’s icon is yellow or green, select the icon and disable it before you remove the card. After
you replace the I/O card, select the card’s icon and re-enable it. The color of the icon changes to
yellow or green to indicate the card is online.

Warning! Dangerous high voltages may be present at the cards’ terminal blocks during
normal operation. When you service these cards, avoid contact with exposed voltages
on the card while you connect the field cabling. The field cabling terminal block
connectors also may have high voltages when disconnected from the card.

Warning! Never remove the card from the chassis with the termination cables
connected and the field power applied. Always disconnect the field power and cables
before removing the card from the chassis. Always insert the card into the chassis with
the cables and field power disconnected.

NetArrays Configuration

11
Each output point is controlled by a Bool Variable object with the corresponding Tag. Two integer
readback status inputs can be read to determine the states of the card’s relay drive signals for the
32 outputs. NetArrays also returns an error detection status word for the card. This card includes
a Watchdog Timer, which can disable the outputs if the processor fails to access the card within
the allotted time.

Card Properties
Watchdog Timer
When enabled, the Watchdog Timer will disable the outputs if the card is not accessed by the
controller within 150 ms. When disabled, the Watchdog Timer has no effect on the card's
operation.

Integer Error Detection


The Error Detection input is an Int Variable that can be used to detect an I/O card failure.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.

A Card Timeout Error (Bit 0) will set the Error Latch bit (Bit14), which will remain set until this bit is
cleared to zero by an operator. While the Error Latch is set, the card will be offline and the target
node will not attempt to communicate with it. Note that most cards do not use all the status bits
shown. Any unused bits will always equal zero.

ERR DATA DATA CARD TIME
LTCH ERR INV ID OUT

Bit 14 Card Error Latch


This status bit indicates that a Card Timeout Error occurred on the I/O card, and that it
has been taken offline. The card will not be initialized or placed online until this bit is
cleared in the project program or operator intervention.
If this bit is set, it must be cleared to return the card to operation. The correct way to
clear this bit is to select the card’s icon in the I/O configuration Form while NetArrays is
operating in Debug mode and answer “Yes” to the Enable prompt. See I/O Card Status
and Control. (It is also possible to change the value of this variable by forcing an Integer
Bit Variable object, with Bit 14 selected in the object's properties, to zero. Do not clear
the entire Error Detection Integer Variable to zero.)
Bit 9 Backplane Bus Data Error
This status bit indicates that a data error was detected in a data or command transfer to
or from an I/O card.
Bit 8 Data Invalid
This status bit indicates that the I/O card is not ready to send valid data.
Bit 7 Card ID Does Not Match I/O Configuration
This bit indicates that the ID code read from the I/O card does not match the card type
specified in the NetArrays I/O configuration.
Bit 0 Card Timeout Error
This bit indicates that there was no response from the I/O card. The card is not returning
a ready test signal, is offline, or has been removed from the chassis. This bit sets the
Card Error Latch (Bit 14).

12
Float Temperature Input
The Board Temp is a floating-point value, which equals to the operating temperature in Degrees
Celsius as measured by an on-board sensor. User applications can implement customized limits
for alarms and annunciations by examining the value of this variable. NetArrays assigns a default
Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration. Reassign this Tag as
required to access this board temperature in the project program.

Integer Card Revision


The card revision is an integer value, which equals to the revision number of the PLD code.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.
Reassign this Tag as required to access this card revision in the project program.

Integer Readback (0-15) Status


The bits of this Int input represent the states of the card’s drive signals to the relay coils for
channels 0 through 15. A 1 indicates that the contacts are driven to be closed (set); a 0 indicates
that the contacts are driven to be open (reset). NetArrays assigns a Tag to this input when the
card is added to the I/O configuration. Reconfigure the Tag as required to match the Module
Form Int Variable object that is used to monitor the card’s Readback (0-15) Status input.

The bits of this Int input represent the states of the card’s drive signals to the relay coils for
channels 16 through 32. A 1 indicates that the contacts are driven to be closed (set); a 0
indicates that the contacts are driven to be open (reset). NetArrays assigns a Tag to this input
when the card is added to the I/O configuration. Reconfigure the Tag as required to match the
Module Form Int Variable object that is used to monitor the card’s Readback (16-32) Status input.

I/O Channel Properties
Channel
Each output channel can be enabled (Bool), or disabled (Disabled). You can disable any unused
channel to avoid scanning unconnected outputs and to free up the assigned Tag.

I/O Tag
A True output from a Bool Variable object will close (set) the relay’s contacts. A False output
from the Bool Variable object will open (reset) the relay’s contacts. NetArrays assigns a default
Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.
Note! All unused un-terminated I/O points must be disabled in IO Configuration.

Default (3100/Non safety system only)


Note! This property is available only if output card is used in non safety 3100 Node.
Specifies channel behavior when chassis to node communication is lost:
On – channel will be On
Off - channel will be Off
Freeze - channel value will be frozen at last value

4. The Service Personnel must be trained to operate the equipment and must be aware of
the potential of electrical hazards of the equipment and of the field I/O signals connected
to the equipment.
5. Hazardous voltage warning labels must be applied to the enclosure doors adjacent to the
locking mechanisms to warn the Service Personnel that hazardous voltages are
contained within the enclosure, if modules carrying 120 V and above are used.
6. Hazardous voltage warning labels also must be applied to the termination modules
(which carry 120 V and above), adjacent to the external connectors, to warn the Service
Personnel that hazardous voltages are present at the module's terminal blocks.
7. To assure compliance with the EMC requirements, the equipment must have all
communications, power, and field signal cabling exiting the enclosure enclosed in metal
conduits or shielded wireways. These conduits must provide EMI/RFI shielding and must
be terminated at the enclosure shell. There must be no uncovered openings in the
cabinet. Connections between the cabinet and conduit must be made with conduit
connectors making good (low impedance) electrical contact to the enclosure. Input
mains power to the enclosure and mains power fed to switching digital output I/O cards
and modules must be filtered by AC mains filters with attenuation characteristics of

15
Corcom VR series filters or with similar filters with equal or greater attenuation
characteristics.
8. DC input mains power to the enclosure and mains power must be filtered by a DC mains
filters with attenuation characteristics of Corcom 6EH1 series filters or with similar filters
with equal or greater attenuation characteristics.
9. Insulation strip length of 0.26 inches (6.5 mm) is required on all field wirings to the I/O
card termination modules.
10. The disposal of any electronic products must be in accordance with local regulations (e.g.
Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical
