Honeywell FC-RUSIO-3224 Universal Safe I/O Module

Honeywell FC-RUSIO-3224 Universal Safe I/O Module

Functional Description

The FC-RUSIO-3224 module has 32 universal safe IO channels with configurable channel function;

configuration is done in Safety Builder.

The FC-RUSIO-3224 module can be used in applications up to SIL 3, in compliance with IEC 61508/61511.

It requires two RUSIO-3224 modules to achieve a redundant configuration. All channels are powered out of

the 24 V DC supply.

Each channel can be configured as:

· Digital input (with or without loop monitoring)

· Digital output (with loop monitoring

· Analog input (0-20 mA or 4-20 mA active)

· Analog output (0-20 mA or 4-20 mA active)

The FC-RUSIO-3224 module supports two (100Mbaud) ethernet links to communicate with a Safety Manager

Controller.

The FC-RUSIO-3224 module has a housing that is in line with the patented Series C design of Honeywell. It

needs to be placed on an IO Termination Assembly (IOTA).

The FC-RUSIO-3224 module has the following features:

· 32 universal IO channels that can be configured to control DI, AI, DO, AO

· Any type of IO field signal has only to be connected to the two connections of the applicable universal

channel on the IOTA

· Proven-in-use redundant processor concept that complies with the SIL 3 safety requirements in single

channel operation

· A dedicated communication link between these processors

· A redundant communication link with the partner module (in redundant configuration)

· An Ethernet-based Safety Manager Universal I/O link to the Safety Manager Controller in the network via

dedicated switches; the Safety Manager Universal I/O link uses a dedicated protocol

· Monitoring the temperature of the electronics

· A configurable ESD function via channel 32 for dedicated safety related functions

· Function-tested watchdogs that: monitor and/or handle:

· monitor cycle time and supply voltage

· handle the ESD function and memory errors

· LED indicators at the front of the module for power and health status indication

· Real-time clock for Sequence Of Event (SOE) time stamping with a resolution of 1 msec

The FC-RUSIO-3224 module functions as a Safety Manager universal IO module within the Safety Manager

concept. It executes:

· The input scan of the process variables

· All functional tests of its hardware

· Data exchange with its partner module

· Data exchange via the Safety Manager Universal I/O link with the Safety Manager Controller that

executes the application logics

· Update the outputs and thus the process

The FLASH nature of the memory allows for on line upgrading within the TÜV-approved concept of both

the system software as well as the channel configuration.
