Pulse Test Operation

The Output Autotest uses the standard Genius block Pulse Test feature. During this test, the system is on-line and available.

For the test to be performed:

HAll blocks in the group must be on-line.

HThere may be no I/O override applied to any block in the group.

HIn addition, for each block output that is associated with a given system output within the group:

h there may be no I/O force applied.

h there may be no hardware fault (such as a failed switch).

h all block outputs associated with the system output must presently be in the same logical state. (Monitoring of system status references to detect forces and overrides is discussed later in this chapter).

Outputs that are OFF are pulsed OFF-ON- OFF and checked for correct voltage, for the presence of diagnostic data, and for correct current (if the No Load diagnostic is enabled). If a point reports correct voltage and/or current data, the point passes and is not re-pulsed. However, if a point does not report correct voltage and/or current data, it is retested up to a maximum of seven times, in successively longer pulses. The ON pulse times begin at approximately 1.7mS, and can increase up to approximately 20mS. There is a delay of approximately 5mS to 15mS between successive pulses of the same point.

Outputs that are ON are pulsed ON-OFF-ON. This checks whether a point's feedback voltage matches its commanded state. Points are pulsed OFF for approximately 5ms. If the voltage matches, a point passes. If not, the point is pulsed OFF again, for approximately 7.5mS.

Note that the times given here are typical for 16-circuit blocks (pulse times and quantities are different for 32-circuit blocks). Actual times in any application depend on the presence of other scheduled tasks and the configuration of the points.

Note

Use of the Genius output Pulse Test feature from the application program or Hand-held Monitor is NOT recommended for GMR applications, since it will produce erroneous results.
