The T9110 Processor Module is the core processing unit of an AADvance® Controller and is responsible for performing critical safety and process control tasks. Below is a comprehensive overview of the module’s functionality, specifications, and key features.
Core Functions:
- Execution of the AADvance Safety Kernel to solve application logic.
- Interface with I/O modules for reading input data and writing output data.
- Communication with other processor modules locally and across control networks.
- Initiation of periodic diagnostics for the controller.
- Communication with external systems, such as Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
- Message encapsulation and verification for secure communication to other nodes in the system.
Key Features:
- Fault Tolerance & Redundancy:
- Galvanic Isolation: The processor module is isolated from external power supplies and data links to prevent field faults from affecting the module’s operation.
- Redundant Power Supplies: The module operates continuously even if one of its dual redundant 24Vdc power supplies fails.
- Under/Over-voltage Protection: The internal power supplies are equipped with protection circuits that signal “power valid” for diagnostic monitoring.
- Automatic Fault Detection & Failover:
- If the module detects a fault in a redundant configuration (1oo2D or 2oo3D), the system can automatically replace the faulty processor without disrupting the operation of the controller.
- New processors automatically self-educate and synchronize with the existing system without requiring a system shutdown.
- Diagnostics and Watchdog Circuit:
- The module runs regular internal diagnostic tests and employs a watchdog circuit to monitor processor performance.
- In case of a serious fault, the processor will shut down safely.
- In a redundant processor setup, a failed processor can be replaced online, ensuring no disruption of the other processors.
