I/O modules
Summary
This section lists the available input and output modules of the TELEPERM M range. A detailed description of all mod- ules (including those which are no longer available) with photos, functional diagrams and complete technical data can be found in Internet at:

in the section "Process I/Os - TELEPERM M".
Summary
The I/O modules constitute the interface of the automation system to the process. I/O modules of the TELEPERM M process control system are available for all common process signals, transmitters, final control elements and automation tasks associ- ated with process engineering.
The I/O modules are divided into:
• function modules with autonomous functions independent of the central unit,
• signal modules (input/output modules without
• counter modules.
Design
The I/O modules are designed as
The I/O modules have 2 base plugs, the I/O bus interface and the process interface.
The modules are divided into 4 areas which are separated from one another by constructive measures and circuit features. Area

In the AS 235 system, a specific slot address is unequivocally assigned to each I/O slot. There are two types of I/O modules as far as addressing is concerned:
•I/O modules with jumper/slot addressing
•I/O modules only with jumper addressing
I/O modules with jumper/slot addressing should preferably be operated with slot addressing. The I/O module is then automati- cally assigned the slot address when inserting.
The slot address should be set on the I/O modules only with jumper addressing using the corresponding jumpers prior to inserting the module.
Measures to prevent interference,
Great attention has been paid to an
The socket boards are divided into screening areas which are separated from each other by grounded surfaces. These screening areas attenuate and decouple the noise signals from the process such that the processing circuits of the I/O modules and the central unit are not influenced. All process inputs/out- puts are provided with overvoltage protection circuits. Their overvoltage resistance of 1.5 kV at 1.2 μs / 50 μs satisfies the requirements of the IEC standard
The CE certifications apply if the TELEPERM M installation guidelines are observed.
All analog and binary outputs are
Power supply
The I/O modules only require DC 24 V as the supply voltage. All auxiliary voltages required by the module are generated by its own
As a result of the
Module response upon failure of the automation system
Failure of the automation system (hardware fault, user configura- tion in stop status, central processing unit in stop status) is detected by the I/O modules.
The function modules have backup modes which enable opera- tion independent of the central unit. The output modules (signal modules) react to a reset either by retaining the last output value or by switching to the safety setting. The desired reaction is con- figured on the module.
Monitoring, alarms
The functions of the modules connected to the I/O bus of the automation system as well as their interaction with the automa- tion system are monitored by several mechanisms. Each
I/O module monitors its own internal functions and signals e.g. power failure, blown fuse, hardware fault in module electronics to the automation system via the associated driver block.
The module for the I/O bus interface of the automation system detects missing or incorrectly addressed I/O modules as well as multiple addressing on the I/O bus. Faults in the firmware of the module are also detected and signalled by special acknowledg- ment procedures between the function modules and their driv- ers. The maintenance staff are specifically guided towards the location of a fault by means of alarms on the monitor and printer,
