Module Diagnostics 39<br />

Analog output modules use a combination of comparison and reference diagnostics. Under<br />

system control, each channel is given control of the output sequentially using the 2oo3 voting<br />

mechanism. Each channel independently measures the actual state of an output value by<br />

comparing it with the commanded value. If the values do not match, a channel switch is <strong>for</strong>ced<br />

by voting another channel. Each channel also compares its measured values against internal<br />

references. Using these diagnostics, each channel can be independently verified <strong>for</strong> its ability to<br />

control the analog output value, thus assuring nearly 100 percent fault coverage and fail-safe<br />

operation under all single-fault scenarios, and most common multiple-fault scenarios.<br />

Analog Output Module Alarms<br />

Analog output module faults are reported to the control application. These alarms can be used<br />

to increase availability during specific multiple-fault conditions. Loss of field power or logic<br />

power is reported to the control application.<br />

Digital input module pointsuse <strong>for</strong>ce-to-value diagnostics (FVD). Under system control, each<br />

point is sequentially <strong>for</strong>ced to a test value. The <strong>for</strong>ced value is maintained until the value is<br />

detected by the system or a time-out occurs. Using the integral FVD capability, each point can<br />

be independently verified <strong>for</strong> its ability to accurately detect a transition to the opposite state,<br />

typically every 500 milliseconds. (For more in<strong>for</strong>mation on fault reporting time, see Calculation<br />

<strong>for</strong> Diagnostic Fault Reporting Time on page 41.) These diagnostics are executed independently<br />
