l Pulse Input Channel with Fast Cutoff block for

configuring the last two channels.

The last two channels can be configured as

Pulse Input channel types or Pulse Input

with Fast Cutoff channel types.

The last two channels can be configured only as

Pulse Input with Fast Cutoff channel types.

2.4 What is Universal Input/Output (UIO) Module?

With R410, an Universal Input/Output (UIO) module is introduced that enables you to configure

the input/output channels within a single IOM. The UIO module supports 32 channels. Each

channel can independently be configured as one of the following types.

l Analog Input channel (0-20mA or 4-20mA)

l Analog Output channel (4-20mA)

l Digital Input channel (with or without broke-wire detection)

l Digital Output channel (with or without broke-wire detection)

The UIO channels and device blocks are compatible with existing Series C AI, AO, DI, and DO

channels and blocks. In addition, each analog channel in the UIO module can be configured to

support HART input/output functionality.

Features of UIO

The following list illustrates the key features of the UIO module

l Supports optional IOM redundancy.

l Supports simulation with SIM-C300/SIM-CN100.

l Supports HART functionality for AI and AO channel types.

l Supports multiple channel type configurations.

l Operates in an extended temperature range (-40 degree Celsius to +70 degree Celsius).

l Supports the ability to monitor the current, minimum, and maximum temperatures.

l Supports remote control when it is located within 10 kilometers from the controller.

l Supports open wire detection.

l Supports DO channel ganging from R430 onwards.

l Supports pulse counting functionality from R430 onwards.

NOTE

To use an AI HART channel in conjunction with the analog mode, it must be used on

channels 13 through 20 only. If HART is used on any of the voltage inputs, it can cause an

unstable analog PV value. The HART digital value will be unaffected.

NOTE

For information about UIO specification, refer to the latest Specification and Technical

document available on the Honeywell Online Support site.

UIO features

Support for DO channel ganging

The UIO-DO channel is now enhanced to support ganging for enabling the delivery of more

current output to the field (maximum current output of up to 2.0 Amperes). This is accomplished

using the existing UIO hardware. DO channel ganging simply requires software configuration of

up to four adjacent DO channels of the UIO module and appropriate channel wiring accordingly.

ATTENTION

l Up to four DO channels can be ganged at a time.

l UIO-channel 32 cannot be ganged with channel 1.

Support for pulse counting functionality

The UIO module DI channel is capable of providing pulse counting functionality. However, only

four DI channels (channels 15, 16, 17 and 18) support pulse counting functionality.

The UIO-DI channel pulse counting supports counting up to 10 KHz of input pulse frequency.

The UIO DI channel configuration consists of simply setting the Digital Input Type parameter to

“Accum” from the Configuration tab of the DI channel.

Differences between UIO channels and existing Series C AI, AO,

DI, and DO modules

The following table lists some of the differences between the UIO and the existing Series C AI, AO,

DI, and DO modules.

Supports temperature range between 0 degree

Celsius to +50 degree Celsius

2.5 What is Low Level Analog Input (LLAI) Module

Starting with R430, a new Series C compliant Low Level Analog Input (LLAI) Module is introduced

and designed to operate with the low voltage devices such as Thermocouples and RTDs. The AILLAI module supports 16 channels and accepts temperature inputs in the range of millivolts (mV).

This AI-LLAI module is identical to the existing Series C AI-LLMUX module except that the number

of channels supported by the AI-LLAI module is reduced to 16 channels. Unlike the AI-LLMUX

module, the field inputs can be directly connected to the AI-LLAI IOTA since it has its own IOTA. In

addition, the AI-LLAI module supports a new RTD input type, that is, CU50Rtd. A new library is

introduced in the standard library as "AI-LLAI."

2.5.1 Features of AI-LLAI

The following are some of the key features of AI-LLAI.

l Supports up to 16 RTDs or Thermocouple inputs.

l Operates in an extended temperature range (-40 degree Celsius to +70 degree Celsius).

l Supports a new RTD input type, CU50Rtd.

l Supports configurable Open Thermocouple Detection (OTD).

l Supports 1 second PV scanning with OTD protection.

l Supports N type thermocouple.

NOTE

AI-LLAI module does not support the following features.

l Remote cold junction capability

l User defined table
