2. Description and Operation Introduction

2. Description and Operation

2.1 Introduction
This section explains the inputs and input circuitry, control logic, logic power and connections for the DSM04 module. The
module is a digital input interface for a Harmony controller.

2.2 Module Description

The DSM04 module can bring eight separate pulse signals in three voltage ranges. Two ranges are 4 to 6 VDC and 21.6 to
27 VDC (the 21.6 to 27 VDC range allows connection of dry contact inputs). The third range is input to the preamplifiers on
channels one and two (for low level pulse inputs between 50 millivolts and 10 volts peak-to-peak). The module connects
inputs to the Symphony system without separate converters.

Individual voltage and response time are jumper selectable on the module to configure each input. Selectable response
times (fast or slow) allow compensation for process field device debounce time.

The DSM04 module provides 16-bit resolution in the input channels for frequencies up to 50 kilohertz. It makes high
resolution measurements of low frequency signals at selected rates for periods between 20 microseconds and 655  103
seconds. The I/O module can count the number of rising or falling edges of input signals and measure the time between the
pulse edges.

The I/O module has eight pulse input circuits that condition process signals (Figure 2-1). Input signals are processed,
stored and sent to the controller. The controller communicates with its I/O module on an eight-line I/O expander bus shown
in Figure 2-2. Each I/O module on the I/O expander bus has a unique address set by the module address dipswitch.

Figure 2-1 Input Circuit

Figure 2-2 Module Block Diagram

The DSM04 module consists of a single printed circuit board that occupies one slot in a module mounting unit (MMU). Two
captive screws on the faceplate secure the DSM04 module to the module mounting unit. The module has three card edge
connectors for external signals and power (P1, P2, and P3). P1 connects to common (ground) and +5 VDC power. P2
connects the module to the I/O expander bus to communicate with a controller. The pulse signals are input through

2VAA001654 2-1
Operating Modes 2. Description and Operation

connector P3 using a cable connected to a termination unit. The terminal blocks (physical connection points) for field wiring
are on the termination unit.

Each input channel can respond to either 4 to 6 VDC or 21.6 to 27 VDC and either the rising or falling edge of the signal. In
addition, channels one and two can be routed through preamplifiers so they can respond to inputs from 50 millivolt
(peak-to-peak) to 10 volt (peak-to-peak).

2.3 Operating Modes

The DMS04 module channels are configured using function codes in the controller. A function code determines a channel’s
mode of operation: Pulse Input/Totalize (FC 104), Pulse Input/Frequency (FC 103), or Pulse Input/Period (FC 102).
Additionally, the expected duration of the input pulses can be specified using Pulse Input/Duration (FC 109). Refer to
section 4- Operating Procedures of this user manual for more information.

After installing the DSM04 module, enter the module address and the input specifications into the controller configuration
(i.e., function code specifications) along with the normal operating configuration. A workstation running Composer Harmony
software is generally used. Enter the specifications into the controller configuration using the appropriate function code for
the desired mode of operation.

2.3.1 Totalize
In totalize mode, the DSM04 module counts the total number of pulses of an input up to 65,534 or until the controller resets
the counter. The controller sends a request to the DSM04 module at a user specified rate. The I/O module replies with a
running total of the number of input pulses it has accumulated for each channel in the totalize mode. The controller can read
a channel or read and reset a channel.

2.3.2 Frequency
In frequency mode, the DSM04 module counts the number of input pulses or cycles that occur in a preset period on a
channel. The measurement range is 0.15 millihertz to 50 kilohertz, selectable in one of six range segments. The range
segments are specified by the function code specifications. The I/O module reads the value and sends it to the controller
when the controller sends a request. The resolution of the DSM04 module depends on your application.

2.3.3 Period
In period mode, the DSM04 module counts the number of time-base pulses that occur during the period of an input pulse.
Each input channel can use a different time-base clock to measure the period of the input signal. The time-base pulses can
be set to 0.1 millisecond, 1.0 millisecond, 10 milliseconds, 0.1 second, 1.0 second, or 10 seconds. The resolution of the
DSM04 module depends on your application.

2.4 Input Modes

Each of the eight input channels can be set to one of two possible modes. A third mode is possible for channels one and
two in which the inputs can be routed to preamplifiers on the DSM04 module to sense low level signals. The three modes
are externally powered normal logic level input, internally powered contact input, and low level input (only on channels one
and two).

2.4.1 Externally Powered Normal Logic Level

Set up the externally powered normal logic level input mode when using self powered input circuits isolated from the pulse
processing circuits. There are two available ranges that can be set by jumpers J1 through J8 on the module. Range one is
4.0 VDC to 6.0 VDC and range two is 21.6 VDC to 27 VDC.

2.4.2 Internally Powered Contact

The 24 VDC input and output power supply uses the internally powered contact input mode. It is used to sense open and
closed conditions in the input circuit. Set up this mode by making proper dipshunt connections on the termination unit.
Voltage range two must be selected on the module for this mode.

2.4.3 Low Level

The low level input mode (only for channels one and two) detects differential input voltage. Voltages can range from
50 millivolts (peak-to-peak) to 10 volts (peak-to-peak). Set voltage ranges by routing the inputs through preamplifiers.
Switch the preamplifiers in or out with slide switches S2 and S3 on the DSM04 module. An input voltage of 25 millivolts or
more is a logic one in the module, and a voltage of less than -25 millivolts is a logic zero. Voltage range two must be
selected on the module for this mode.

2-2 2VAA001654
2. Description and Operation Module Block Diagram

The input isolation block has current limiters and optocouplers to isolate the eight field inputs from the module circuitry. All
inputs pass through high-speed, open-collector, opto-isolators. The input signals go through the Schmitt-trigger inverters to
enhance the pulse definition.

Between the opto-isolators and the inverters are RC circuits that produce an 8.5 millisecond debounce time delay. Connect
jumpers J9 through J16 for the time delay. The input circuits provide 350 volts RMS isolation between input and logic
circuits, and 150 volts RMS isolation between input channels.

The DSM04 module can be divided into functional modules (Figure 2-2). These modules provide the control functions in the
DSM04 module.

2.5 Module Block Diagram

Figure 2-2 shows the DSM04 block diagram to illustrate signal flow through the module. The input circuits connect to the
termination unit. A cable connects the inputs between the termination unit and the P3 edge connector of the module.

2.5.1 Multiplexer and Input State Circuitry

The eight conditioned input signals from the Schmitt-trigger inverters are time-division multiplexed to use a single 16-bit
counter. A channel counter increments the multiplexer. Each channel processes in turn every 7.2 microseconds (every 7.8
microseconds if an I/O expander bus transaction takes place). The channel counter spends about 900 nanoseconds
processing each input before moving on to the next channel.

When the multiplexer selects a channel, an eight-bit shift register stores the input state (0 or 1). The register shifts for each
channel sample. The eight-bit register holds the previous input state for each complete count. The controller can read the
present input state.

2.5.2 Time Base Generation

The six time-base signals generated here are multiplexed for greatest resolution for the sampled input. The choice recorded
in the mode memory determines the time-base signal selected. Present and previous time-base pulse states are stored for
use in determining count completion.

2.5.3 I/O Expander Bus Interface

The I/O expander bus interface translates the eight-bit bidirectional bus into two eight-bit unidirectional internal busses; one
input and one output. Information is communicated over the expander bus by sending either three or five bytes in sequence
depending on the operation. The operations that the controller can request from the DSM04 module are read module
status, read input states, write channel configuration, read channel, and reset and read channel.

The I/O expander bus interface receives an eight-bit module address from the controller and compares it to the address set
on S1. If the addresses match, then the module responds to the bytes that follow. If the function code byte specifies a read
operation, the interface sends the selected information from the output buffer.

2.5.4 Count and Output Memory

There is only one 16-bit counter. All eight input channels share the counter. A 16-bit memory location stores the count value
associated with each channel. The memory (count memory) takes up half of a 16  16 memory array made up of four RAM
memory chips.

The other half the memory array (output memory) stores the final or total accumulated count. Whenever the controller reads
a channel, the 16-bit count value in output memory for that channel is transferred into an output buffer comprised of two
output memory buffer chips.

The output buffer is enabled at the appropriate time to place the count value onto the I/O expander bus. If the operation is a
reset-read, after transferring the count value, the buffer clears both the count memory and the output memory for that
channel. The count is flagged as invalid, if the count is not complete. The count is not valid until at least one input pulse is
complete, but is always valid by the end of the second pulse.

2.5.5 Mode Memory

The mode memory stores the information that determines how each input is to be handled. Each input can be set for one of
three modes: totalize, frequency, or period. The mode for an input can be set so that the circuitry counts on either the rising
or falling part of the signal. The frequency mode can be set for three ranges and the period mode can be set for one of six
ranges.

2VAA001654 2-3
Sequencer 2. Description and Operation

The mode memory occupies half of an 8  16 memory array. The other half is the data valid memory. In this location the
array stores the information necessary to decide if the data valid bit should be set or not.

2.5.6 Sequencer
Three programmable array logic integrated circuits make up the sequencer. The sequencer is the control center for the
DSM04 module. It provides all the timing signals needed by the other circuit blocks.

2.5.7 Inputs
Digital field inputs are voltages of either 4 to 6 VDC, 21.6 to 27 VDC, 50 millivolts and 10 volts (peak-to-peak). These
voltages indicate an energized (on) field device; a 0 volt input indicates a de-energized (off) field device. Jumpers on the
DSM04 module select the voltage level and debounce for each input. Section 3- Installation of this user manual explains the
jumper connections.

2.5.8 Input Section

The field inputs connect to the termination unit. It sends them through the termination unit cable to the P3 edge connector
on the DSM04 module. Each of the eight input channels can be set to one of two possible modes. A third mode is possible
for channels one and two. Inputs can be routed to preamplifiers on the module to sense low level signals.
Section 3- Installation of this user manual describes the specific connections needed for each mode.

2.5.9 Power Supply

The module mounting unit supplies +5 VDC power for digital circuitry to connector P1. If input one or two uses a
preamplifier, then the 24 VDC I/O supply must be connected to the E1 terminal of the termination unit. This power is routed
to the DSM04 module through the termination cable to edge connector P3.

2.5.10 Connector Functions

The DSM04 module has three standard edge connectors along the rear of the circuit board. The 12-pin, P1 connector
supplies the +5 VDC logic power from the MMU backplane. The 12-pin, P2 connector connects the module to the I/O
expander bus through a 12-strap dipshunt mounted on the MMU backplane. The eight input signals come into the 30-pin,
P3 connector through a termination unit cable from the termination unit.

2.6 Mounting Hardware

Harmony rack I/O modules and termination units mount in standard ABB enclosures. The number of modules that can be
mounted in a single cabinet varies.

An IEMMU21 or IEMMU22 module mounting unit and an NFTP01 field termination panel (FTP) are used for module and
termination unit mounting respectively (Figure 2-3). The mounting unit and termination panel both attach to the side rails in

2-4 2VAA001654
2. Description and Operation Mounting Hardware

standard 483-millimeter (19-inch) enclosures. Front mount and rear mount MMU versions are available to provide flexibility
in enclosure mounting.

Figure 2-3 Mounting Hardware

A module mounting unit is required to mount and provide power to rack-mounted modules. The unit is for mounting
controllers, I/O modules, and communication interface modules. The MMU backplane connects and routes:
• Controlway.
• I/O expander bus.
• Logic power to control, I/O, and interface modules.
The Controlway and I/O expander bus are internal cabinet, communication buses. Communication between rack controllers
and communication interface modules is over Controlway.

3. Installation
3.1 Introduction
This section explains the procedures required to place the DSM04 module into operation. It includes instructions on setting
the address selection switch, setup and physical installation, wiring and cable connections. Do not proceed with operation
until this is read, understood and all steps have been completed in the order in which they appear.

NOTE: The DSM04 module is a high power I/O module. Up to 20 high power I/O modules per controller can be
connected to the I/O expander bus.

3.2 Special Handling

NOTE: Always use the ABB field static kit (part number 1948385A1), consisting of two wrist straps, ground cord assem-
bly, alligator clip, and static dissipating work surface when working with static sensitive devices. The kit is designed to
connect the technician and the static dissipating work surface to the same ground point to prevent damage to the static
sensitive devices by electrostatic discharge.

Use the static grounding wrist strap when installing and removing modules. Static discharge can damage static sensitive
devices on modules in a cabinet. Use grounded equipment and static safe practices when working with static sensitive
devices.

Follow the given steps when handling electronic circuitry:

1. Use Static Shielding Bag: Keep the module in its static shielding bag until you are ready to install it in the
system. Save the bag for future use.
2. Ground Bags before Opening: Before opening a bag containing an assembly with static sensitive devices,
touch it to the equipment housing or ground to equalize charges.
3. Avoid Touching Circuitry: Handle assemblies by the edges; avoid touching the circuitry.
4. Avoid Partial Connection of Static Sensitive Devices: Verify that all devices connected to the modules are
properly grounded before using them.
5. Ground Test Equipment.
6. Use an Antistatic Field Service Vacuum: Remove dust from the cards if necessary.
7. Use a Grounded Wrist Strap: Connect the wrist strap to the appropriate grounding plug.
8. Do Not Use Lead Pencils to Set Dipswitches: To avoid contamination of switch contacts that can result in
unnecessary circuit board malfunction, do not use a lead pencil to set a dipswitch.

3.3 Unpacking and Inspection

Follow the given steps to unpack and inspect the module:
1. Examine the hardware immediately to verify that it has not been damaged in transit.
2. Notify the nearest ABB sales office of any such damage.
3. File a claim for any damage with the transportation company that handled the shipment.
4. Use the original packing material and container to store the hardware.
5. Store the hardware in an environment of good air quality, free from temperature and moisture extremes.

3.4 Module Setup

Before installation, the module address must be set and the input channel jumpers need to be configured. Also, the
termination unit must be configured to accept the field input signals.

Figure 3-1 displays the module layout showing the positions of the switches and jumpers on the DSM04 module:
• Module address switch S1.
• Preamplifier select switches S2 and S3.
• Voltage select jumpers J1 through J8.

2VAA001654 3-1
I/O Expander Bus Address (S1) 3. Installation

3.4.1 I/O Expander Bus Address (S1)

The DSM04 module can have one of the 64 addresses (address 0 to 63) on the I/O expander bus. This address uniquely
identifies the I/O module to the controller.

Figure 3-1 Module Layout

Set the DSM04 module I/O expander bus address to any unused binary address from zero to 63. Table 3-1 lists examples
of I/O expander bus address dipswitch settings. Refer to Figure 3-1 for the location of S1. Record the I/O expander bus
address in the user setting column.

3.4.2 Preamplifier Select (S2, S3)

Use switches S2 and S3 to route the channel one and channel two inputs through preamplifiers on the DSM04 module. S2
is for channel one and S3 is for channel two. These switches route low level input signals. With a preamplifier switched in,
the respective input registers a logic one for a differential voltage of 25 millivolts peak, and allows inputs of up to 5 volts
peak. Figure 3-1 shows S2 and S3 locations. To use a preamplifier for an input, move its slide switch to the in position.
.

3. Installation Jumpers

Damage to the module may occur if voltage range one is selected for an input that uses a
preamplifier.

If a preamplifier is switched in, select range two with the voltage selection jumper for that input channel. The 24 VDC I/O
power must be connected to the termination unit as shown in Appendix A- NTDI01 Termination Unit of this user manual.

3.4.3 Jumpers
Jumpers J1 through J8 set the input voltage levels and jumpers J9 through J16 set the DC voltage response time (speed).
The DC inputs have two propagation (speed) choices to allow for debounce time: slow response setting (8.5 millisecond
debounce time) or fast response setting (no debounce time). There are three terminals at each jumper location. Figure 3-1
shows the jumper locations.

3.4.3.1 Voltage Jumpers

Jumpers J1 through J8 select one of two input voltage ranges (Table 3-2). Range one registers a logic one for an input of
4 VDC to 6 VDC. Range two registers a logic one input for a voltage level of 21 VDC to 27 VDC. Complete the jumper
connections by putting the jumpers onto the two pins closest to the desired letter on the circuit board (Figure 3-1).

Range 2: logic 0 = 0 to 2 VDC; logic 1 = 21.6 to 27
VDC.

3.4.3.2 Debounce Jumpers

Jumpers J9 through J16 allow connection of an RC circuit into an input circuit to slow its response time (Table 3-3). This is
useful to prevent false triggering from switched inputs due to bounce. An input that has a jumper in the debounce position
will have a delay to an input transition of about 8.5 milliseconds. This delay restricts input frequencies to about 40 hertz.
Complete the jumper connections by putting the jumpers onto the two pins closest to the desired letter on the circuit board
(Figure 3-1).

4. Operating Procedures Introduction

4. Operating Procedures
4.1 Introduction
This section explains the startup for the DSM04 module.

4.2 Startup
After installing the DSM04 module, follow the given steps to startup the DSM04 module:
1. Enter the module address and the input specifications into the controller with the normal setup values.
2. Use a workstation running Conductor or Composer software to modify the specifications.
3. Enter the DSM04 module specifications into function code 102 for period mode, 103 for frequency mode, and
104 for totalization mode.

NOTE: Refer to the Function Code Reference Manual for the specifications that must be entered. Most of
these specifications are self explanatory.

When using the frequency mode, there are six ranges available. The output of the module is the number of input cycles in a
specified period. The controller scales the counts to give a direct frequency parameter that can be used in control schemes.
Frequency ranges available are 0.1 hertz to 6.55 kilohertz for a 10-second count period, 1.0 hertz to 50 kilohertz for a 1.0-
second count period, 10.0 hertz to 50 kilohertz for a 0.1-second count period.

The other three frequency ranges in the frequency mode set the module to the period mode. These ranges are 0.1 hertz to
1.5 kilohertz, 10 hertz to 15 kilohertz and 10.0 to 150 kilohertz. The module output count is then scaled by the controller to
give a frequency operating parameter.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Introduction
This section explains the error indications and corrective actions for the DSM04 module.

5.2 Error Messages and Corrective Action

Status of the DSM04 module is available by checking the controller for good quality on its input blocks. Use any human
system interface such as a workstation running Conductor software to observe the status. Refer to the appropriate human
system interface manual for the steps to call up the module status report.

5.3 Module Errors

The address set on address switch (S1) and in the controller configuration must be the same. The controller generates a
missing slave module error, if it does not match. Verify that the address set on S1 is the same as the address in function
code 84, specification one.

Follow the given steps to set S1 address to same address in FC 84 specifications one:
1. Remove the module and change the setting of S1 to match the controller configuration (refer to section
3- Installation of this user manual for the procedures to set an address and to install the module).
- or -
2. Modify the address in the controller configuration (function code 84, specification one) to match the address set
on S1.
3. Use a human system interface or a workstation running Composer software to modify the configuration. (Refer
to the appropriate product manual for procedures to modify a function code specification, if required.)

The controller generates a missing slave module error for an I/O module disconnected from the I/O expander bus. Verify the
bus connection on the MMU backplane.

NOTE: The controller trips when the DSM04 module fails. When you change the trip control function code specification,
it causes the controller to continue to operate, if the I/O module fails.

If the DSM04 module is faulty, replace it with a new one. It can be removed with system power on. Refer to 3- Installation of
this user manual for the procedures to install a module or refer to section 7- Repair and Replacement of this user manual for
