Application, characteristics and technical data have ence resistor (K6).

to be taken from the hardware data sheet :
23BA22 1 KGT 150 404
Operation
The 23BA22 board supervises output commands by
means of a (1 out of n) check. It checks that only one
interposing relay will be activated when the process
voltage (UD) is switched.
Processing function
The I/O micro controller (IOP Input output processor)
does the (1 out of n) check and the output switches if
the check is succesful. To do the output command a
23BA20 output relay selects the object which should
be switched. The coordination of boards 23BA20 and
23BA22 is done by the MPU (Main Processing Unit) of
23ZG21 board.
The sequence of a (1 out of n) check and the follow-
ing pulse output is as follows. (see fig. 1 for the princi-
ple logic):
The 23BA22 board receives a request from the MPU
of the central control unit to do a (1 out of n) check
and force the output. The 23BA22 will do the following
steps:
V Check that no output is active.
V Adjustment of the measuring logic with refer-
V Select check circuit P1 or P2 for test (K7 and
K3 or K5).
V Measuring of the resistance of the selected in-
terposing relay.
V Compare the measured resistance value
against the parameterized upper and lower
limit.
V Check that the process voltage UD is avail-
able.
V Stop all other steps if the result is negative
(negative acknowledge to MPU).
V Changeover from „CHECK“ to „SWITCH“
position (Relays K3 or K5 off, Relays K2 or K4
on).
V Activate output pulse by switching relay K1.
V Inform MPU that output is started (active).
V Monitoring that UD is present during output.
V Stop output after the pulse duration time has
elapsed (K1).
V Stop output pulse if a failure is detected during
output
- UD is lost
- Communication time out on the peripheral
bus
V Relays K7 and K2 or K4 off.
V Inform MPU that the output is done (finished).

Local / remote key ”LOC”
The LOC key on the front plate allows to inhibit any ac-
tive output. If switched to local the MPU of central
control unit is informed by a status information. An
output request from MPU will done the (1 out of n)
check only but relays k1 and k2 or k4 will not be
switched.
Switching from remote to local and reverse:
V press LOC key twice within 3 seconds.
The LED “LOC“ will flash during that time.
Is not pressed twice within the time window the
23BA22 will stay in the last selected mode. If switched
to local mode the “LOC“ LED is on.
DC/DC--converter for measuring and
digitizing logic
The EAP and its logic is isolated from the measuring
and digitizing logic by optical isolators. The isolated
DC/DC converter to supply the check circuitry is feed
by the process voltage +24 V.
Booster relay
The switching capacity can be increased by use of a
booster relay. See fig. 6 how the booster relay is wired
to a 23BA22 board.
V Remove jumbers X501 and X502
If a booster relay (KB) is wired and X501 and X502 re-
moved, “GO“- relay K1 than will switch booster relay
KB. Relay KB will than switch the interposing relay or
the unit (object) relay directly on and off.
Signalling
The 23BA22 board monitors and checks its function-
ality as well as the dialog via the peripheral bus. De-
tected errors are indicated and/or transmitted by the
board:
V by the red LED ”ST” on the front plate
V by the red LED ”PST” on the front plate
V by diagnostic messages
26
RTU560
LED ”ST”
The “ST“ LED indicates board errors or peripheral
bus errors.
The “ST“ LED indicates:
V board runs initialization procedure.
V board is doing a cold- or warm start.
V board has dedected a memory error (RAM or
EPROM).
V micro controller faulty.
V no dialog via the peripheral bus for at least 2
minutes. The board is not polled by the PBP of
central control unit.
V Process voltage UD not available or “GO“
relay K1 is sticking.
LED ”PST”
The “PST“ LED indicates an error at command out-
put:
V Time out PBP during active output. Any ac-
tive output is stopped (switched off).
V Process voltage UD not available or “GO“
relay K1 is sticking.
LED ”TM0” / ”TM1”
(1 out of n) check on P1 (TM0) or P2 (TM1) active.
TM0 / TM1 keeps on during the active output.
(1 out of n) check negative:
V “TM0 / TM1“ and “PST“ flashes until the next
command output request is received.
LED ”CO”
Die ”CO” LED indicates:
V The output is active. Relays K1 is switched.
The ”CO” LED flashes until the next command output
request is received in the following cases:
V The process voltage UD is not available dur-
ing the command output.
V After command output the “GO“ Relay K1 is
sticking.
