7I76 13
OPERATION
FIELD I/O
The 7I76 has a 32 input, 16 output isolated field I/O system to support a wide range
of input and output devices. The isolated I/O is intended for low voltage DC control
systems (commonly 24VDC). Inputs are sinking type. That is they sense positive input
voltages relative to field ground. Output are sourcing type, that is they supply field power
to field ground referred loads.
VIN AND FIELD POWER SUPPLY
The 7I76 field I/O runs from field power supplies of 5 to 32 VDC. Field power
supplies the power to the 7I76 outputs and with the default settings, determines the 7I76
input thresholds.
VIN power runs the field I/O processor and normally is connected to field power.
VIN must be greater than 8V for proper operation. This means VIN must come from a
separate source if 5V field voltage is used. Power consumption is approximately 600 mW
or 25 mA at 24V. VIN power must be present for the 7I76 field I/O to be detected and
operate. Field voltages that are too high or too low will cause faults.
FIELD OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
The 7I76 field outputs are high side or sourcing type MOSFET drivers, that is they
source positive voltage to a ground referred load. For example with a standard 24V field
power, +24V connects to the 7I76s field power input (on TB1) and the outputs on TB5 and
TB6 now 24V power to loads. All 7I76 loads will have one side returned to ground
or the negative lead of the 24V supply. The 7I76s outputs can drive loads of up to 350 mA.
WHY SOURCING OUTPUTS
Sourcing type outputs were chosen for the 7I76 because sourcing type field wiring
is less likely to cause inadvertent device actuation from the most likely type of field wiring
problem which is a short to ground.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The 7I76s outputs have short circuit protection and will turn off if short circuit current
exceeds approximately 800 mA. The 7I76 firmware will detect this condition, disable the
affected output and indicate a fault.
OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The output driver chips detect over temperature conditions. If the 7I76 detects a
driver chip with a over temperature warning flag asserted, it will disable the affected chip
and indicate a fault.
