Power Error

LEDs: Green - On powered and self tests are good. Red ON - Failed and/or not communicating to the controller. Red Flashing - Card not being scanned by controller Multi-function card supports four channels configured as Discrete Inputs (DI) or Pulse Inputs (PI). Multi-function terminal block has 32 terminals available. The matrix below shows the terminals used with current release capabilities for the card and the terminal connections for use with future enhancements.

Multifunction Card Channels

Using DeltaV Explorer The Multifunction Card has four channels used as Discrete Inputs or as Pulse Inputs. The Multifunction Card is specifically designed for high frequency pulse inputs. The Channel properties dialog box includes: Enable: A check in this box enables the port to be the channel on the Multifunction card. Description: Up to 40 characters for a description to appear in Explorer Channel Type: The user chooses between Discrete Input and Pulse Input. Device Tag: The user may enter a unique name, up to 16 characters, for each channel. The example above shows Pulse-1.

Multifunction Card Channels

Using DeltaV Explorer The Pulse Input Channel parameters include: Counter_In: Usable in control strategies as an external reference Raw Count. Reset_Count: Usable in control strategies as an external reference. Writing a non-zero number to this parameter clears the Counter_In parameter. Channel Type: The user chooses between Discrete Input and Pulse Input. Device Tag: A unique name, up to 16 characters, for each channel. The example above shows Pulse-1. Frequency: Only valid I/O_In parameter to a pulse input function block, also usable in control strategies as an external reference.

Multifunction Card Channels

Using DeltaV Explorer The Pulse Input channels provide a count and frequency. The signal frequency is calculated from the number of pulses received over a configured scan period. You can define the scan period with the FILTER parameter. In selecting the right filter for the application, you must determine what emphasis should be placed on precision and what should be placed on response, particularly for slower frequencies (below 250Hz). The default filter is 1 second. Filter Parameter: Selecting FILTER Parameter Properties opens the FILTER Properties box. A drop-down window titled Named Set provides you with the predefined filter values that can be used. As the filters increase, the scan time increases. As the filters decrease, so does the scan time. Larger filters will give you more precision, but the longer scan rate will decrease the response to the frequency changes.

Pulse Input Function Block

Using DeltaV Control Studio Drag n drop a Pulse Input function block from the I/O category of the function block palette. Example: A turbine meter used to measure volumetric flow of a gas steam. The pulse input function block measuring volumetric flow of a natural gas stream. Pulse Input function block parameters: I/O_In Use the browser to select the DST for this input Out_Scale 0 to X, the range of the meter, used only to back calculate the Field_Val parameter in percent

Because the meter is pre-set to measure a specific unit, you are permitted to designate PULSE_VAL Converts the frequency from the card, from pulses to EU in the calculation of PV TIME_UNITS The lapsed time over which a single pulses units are counted
