Remote Input/Output Modules
1 Introduction
1.1 General
The remote input/output modules are designed to complete the line of input/output devices supplied by NUM. They
are wired to the SBC fibre-optic bus to allow the inputs and outputs to be located as close as possible to the sensors
and actuators.
The following types of modules are available:
- 24 VDC 16-input module,
- 24 VDC 16-input/24 VDC 0.5 A 16-output module,
- 8-input/2 A 8-output relay module, and
- 4-input/2-output analogue module.
These modules can be used with the following equipment:

The remote input/output modules are interconnected to:
- Sensors,
- Actuators,
- Sensor and actuator power supplies, and,
- Module power supply..
The connector types available from NUM include:
- Plug-in connectors,
- Terminal strips called busbars.
The connector part numbers are as follows:
Wire Size
The maximum permissible wire size is 1.5 mm2.

4.2 Busbar
The busbars are rows of additional terminals designed to be mounted on the remote I/O modules. All the terminals
in a row are electrically interconnected and totally potential-free.
The busbars are implemented in the same technology as the remote I/O module connectors and can be used to
distribute various sensor and actuator power supplies and earthing. Examples of use are given herein.
There are several version of busbar type connectors, depending on the number of rows and the types of terminals.
The terminal types are:
- Screw terminals,
- Spring-loaded terminals.
The maximum current rating of each terminal is 8 A, regardless of the type.
Wire Size
The maximum permissible wire size is 2.5 mm2.

9.2 Input/Output Addresses
9.2.1 General
The inputs and outputs are defined with respect to the automatic control function:
- An input is a variable read by the automatic control function,
- An output is a variable written by the automatic control function.
The variables are addressed on four digits:
- %Ircmv for read variables,
- %Qrcmv for write variables.
r: rack number (4 to 5)
c: board number (0 to $F)
mv: channel number, internal address of the module (0 to $3F).
The variables can be expressed on:
- One bit: %Ircmv.x or %Qrcmv.x (with x varying from 0 to 7)
- One byte: %Ircmv.B or %Qrcmv.B
- One word: %Ircmv.W or %Qrcmv.W
- One long word: %Ircmv.L or %Qrcmv.L.

Remark When a scale underrun or overrun bit is set, the state of the corresponding

The resolution of the analogue inputs depends on the scale selected. The values are expressed on a signed 16-bit
integer for all the scales:
- Positive values are encoded from 0 to 0x7FFF (0 to +32767). Above the full scale value, the reading remains
equal to 0x7FFF and the scale overrun bit in status word %Irc3C.W is set.
- Negative values are encoded from 0xFFFF to 0x8000 (-1 to -32768). Below the full scale value, the reading
remains equal to 0x8000 and the scale underrrun bit in status word %Irc3C.W is set.

9.3 Programming Recommendations
The recommendations below are given for guidance. They are aimed at increasing the application security. They must
be adapted where required to the features of the specific machine automatic control system.
The programming recommendations described below are to be carried out in task %INI.
Principle
The principle consists of declaring each card or remote I/O module present in the application by writing the value of
its identifier in variable %Qrc3E.W.
Example: %Q4A3E.W = 0x50FF
This declaration means that a 16 remote input module (identifier 0x50FF) must be present at address $4A.
At the end of the %INI task, the PLC monitor checks the declared configuration against the real configuration. Any
discrepancy between the two configurations results in:
- Inhibiting of the watchdog,
- Setting of the DEFCONF system bit (%R97F.1) indicating an input/output configuration error,
- Non-refreshing of the input/output data by the PLC.
42 en-938954/1
Remote Input/Output Modules
Principle
The watchdog is configured by setting variable %Qrc3B.0 to 1.
Example: %Q403B.0 = 1
The watchdog function is assigned to output 0 of the remote I/O module at address $40.
Remarks The watchdog function has priority over the fallback function.
To increase the application security, two outputs (wired in series) can be assigned
to the watchdog function. Each of these outputs must be the first (index 0) of a card
or remote I/O module.
