36 Chapter 3 Fault Management Also, during each execution of the control application, each channel independently verifies the: • Integrity of the data path between the MPs • Proper voting of all input values • Proper evaluation of the control application • Calculated value of each output point Module Diagnostics Each system component detects and reports operational faults. Analog Input (AI) Modules Analog input module points useforce-to-value diagnostics (FVD). Under system control, each point is sequentially forced to a test value. The forced value is maintained until the value is detected by the system or a time-out occurs. Using the integral FVD capability, each point can be independently verified for its ability to accurately detect a transition to a different value, typically every 500 milliseconds. (For more information on fault reporting time, see Calculation for Diagnostic Fault Reporting Time on page 39.) Using these diagnostics, each channel can be verified independently, thus assuring near 100 percent fault coverage and fail-safe operation under all single-fault scenarios, and most common multiple-fault scenarios. Analog Input Module Alarms Analog input module faults are reported to the control application. These alarms can be used to increase availability during specific multiple-fault conditions. Loss of field power or logic power is reported to the control application. Analog Input/Digital Input (AI/DI) Modules Analog input/digital input module points useforce-to-value diagnostics (FVD). Under system control, each point is sequentially forced to a test value. The forced value is maintained until the value is detected by the system or a time-out occurs. Using the integral FVD capability, each point can be independently verified for its ability to accurately detect a transition to a different value, typically every 500 milliseconds.

Module Diagnostics 37 Analog Output (AO) Modules Analog output modules use a combination of comparison and reference diagnostics. Under system control, each channel is given control of the output sequentially using the 2oo3 voting mechanism. Each channel independently measures the actual state of an output value by comparing it with the commanded value. If the values do not match, a channel switch is forced by voting another channel. Each channel also compares its measured values against internal references. Using these diagnostics, each channel can be independently verified for its ability to control the analog output value, thus assuring nearly 100 percent fault coverage and fail-safe operation under all single-fault scenarios, and most common multiple-fault scenarios. Analog Output Module Alarms Analog output module faults are reported to the control application. These alarms can be used to increase availability during specific multiple-fault conditions. Loss of field power or logic power is reported to the control application. Digital Input (DI) Modules Digital input module pointsuse force-to-value diagnostics (FVD). Under system control, each pointis sequentially forced to a test value. The forced value is maintained until the value is detected by the system or a time-out occurs. Using the integral FVD capability, each point can be independently verified for its ability to accurately detect a transition to the opposite state, typically every 500 milliseconds. (For more information on fault reporting time, see Calculation for Diagnostic Fault Reporting Time on page 39.) These diagnostics are executed independently by each channel, thus assuring nearly 100 percent fault coverage and fail-safe operation under all single-fault scenarios, and most common multiple-fault scenarios. Digital Input Module Alarms Digital input module faults are reported to the control application. These alarms can be used to increase availability during specific multiple-fault conditions. Loss offield power or logic power is reported to the control application. Digital Output (DO) Modules Digital output modules use output voter diagnostics (OVD). Under system control, each output point is commanded sequentially to both the energized and de-energized states. The forced state is maintained until the value is detected by the system or a time-out occurs (500 microseconds, typical case; 2 milliseconds, worst case). Using the integral OVD capability, each point can be independently verified for its ability to a transition to either state, typically every 500 milliseconds.
