Abstract:
A system serializes control signals within a safety control architecture wherein a safety serial interface at least one of receives and transmits signals from one or more processing components. A serialization component receives and serializes at least one data packet from the safety serial interface to control at least one of an input and an output associated with the safety control architecture. A safety related test circuit verifies input signals associated with the serialization component are not internally falsifying the state of the input signals. A heartbeat watchdog component verifies a true heartbeat bit in the at least one data packet is opposite a complement heartbeat bit in the at least one data packet within a predetermined time interval and shuts off power to at least one of an output and an input if such a condition is not met.

Wide Range, High Resolution Frequency Monitor

View page
US Patent:
20130241531, Sep 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 14, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/420303
Inventors:
Edward Hopsecger - Mentor OH, US
David R. Goodnetter - Town of Lisbon WI, US
International Classification:
G01R 23/02
US Classification:
324 7639
Abstract:
A frequency monitor provides high resolution frequency monitoring over a range of input signal frequencies by measuring the time period of the signal to produce a raw frequency value and then filtering the raw frequency value with a low pass filter to remove an error component caused by quantization effects at high input signal frequencies. The system automatically accommodates changes in the input frequency eliminating a need for manual adjustment of the system based on anticipated measured frequencies.

Industrial Control Systems Having Input/Output Circuits With Programmable Input/Output Characteristics

US Patent:
62258257, May 1, 2001
Filed:
Sep 30, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/164453
Inventors:
Edward C. Hopsecger - Mentor OH
Assignee:
Rockwell Technologies, LLC - Thousand Oaks CA
International Classification:
H03K 190175
US Classification:
326 82
Abstract:
A programmable analog I/O circuit for use in an industrial control system has a first mode of operation as an input circuit and a second mode of operation as an output circuit. In the first mode of operation, a device-side I/O terminal is adapted for receiving an analog input status signal from an analog input device. In the second mode of operation, the device-side I/O terminal is adapted for transmitting an analog output control signal to an analog output device. According to another aspect, a programmable I/O circuit that drives an output device in an industrial control system comprises a plurality of configurable gain stages and a plurality of programmable isolating links. The plurality of programmable isolating links are coupled to the plurality of configurable gain stages and are programmable to determine a series or parallel arrangement of the plurality of configurable gain stages. The output control signal produced by the parallel arrangement is a high current, low voltage output signal as compared to the output control signal produced by the series arrangement. According to another aspect, an integrated circuit fabricated on a single semiconductor chip comprises an I/O interface, a control/logic circuit, and a communication interface.

Abstract:
Embodiments of this present disclosure include an input/output (IO) power supply module coupled to a load. The IO power supply module may include testing circuitry that couples to a voltage supply of the IO power supply module. The testing circuitry may perform an online load current test to verify performance of IO power supply module. To do so, the testing circuitry may include a current measurement circuit coupled to a switch. The current measurement circuit may receive a current via the switch while closed to determine whether the output current generated by the voltage supply is equal to a rated output current.
