The IMDSI1 Digital Input modules provide 16 separate digital signals into the INFI 90® OPEN system for processing and monitoring. It interfaces process field inputs with the INFI 90 OPEN Strategic Process Management System.

A contact clo sure or switch is an example of a device that supplies a digital signal. Control modules provide the control functions; I/O modules provide the inputs and outputs. 

Four variations of the IMDSI1 modules are presented in this instruction:

• IMDSI12 – 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC or 120 VAC inputs.

• IMDSI13 – 24 VDC inputs.

• IMDSI14 – 48 VDC inputs.

• IMDSI15 – 125 VDC or 120 VAC inputs.

The IMDSI12 is the functional equivalent of the existing IMDSI02 module with the restriction that the IMDSI02 offers selectable debounce filter times of 1.5 milliseconds (fast) and 17 milliseconds (slow) and the IMDSI12 module offers only the 17 milliseconds (slow) debounce filter time. The slow debounce filter is used in the majority of digital input applications.

Any of the IMDSI1 modules may be substituted in place of an IMDSI02 where appropriate jumper settings are used. For example, an IMDSI13 module may be substituted for an IMDSI02 module that has all its jumpers set for 24 VDC with a slow debounce filter. Figure 1-1 shows the INFI 90 OPEN communication levels and the position of the digital input modules within these levels. 

​

This section explains the inputs and input circuitry, control logic, logic power and connections for the IMDSI1 Digital Input modules. The DSI is a digital input interface to a multi-function processor (MFP), multi-function controller(MFC), or logic master module (LMM).

These control modules provide the control functions. A control module communicates with its I/O modules on a I/O expander bus as shown in Figure 1-1. Each I/O module on the I/O expander bus has a unique address set by address dipswitch S1 (Fig. 2-1) Digital field inputs are voltages of 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC or 120 VAC rms. These voltages indicate an energized (ON) field device; a 0 volt input indicates a de-energized (OFF) field device.

The DSI have a fixed input debounce filter for DC inputs to allow for contact debounce time (17 millisecond response time).

The IMDSI13 (+24 VDC) module and the IMDSI14 (+48 VDC)module have a fixed configuration and do not require any jumper selections. The IMDSI15 (+125 VDC/120 VAC) module has jumpers to select DC or AC mode. The IMDSI12 (+24, +48,+125 VDC or 120 VAC) module has jumpers to select the DC or AC mode and jumpers to select the working voltage. Refer to the Installation section for an explanation of the jumper con nections.

NOTE: Due to the number of pins on the P3 connector, twelve inputs are separate while the remaining two pairs share input termi nals.

The positive (+) side of point 7 and 8 are tied together in each group (refer to Table 5-3). These points must use the same contact voltage (24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC or 120 VAC) set by the jumpers on the IMDSI12 module, or according to the relevant IMDSI1 mod ule working voltage

Figure 2-1 is a block diagram illustrating signal flow through the module. The input isolation block consists of current limit ers and optocouplers to isolate the 16 field inputs from the module circuitry. The input circuits provide 1500 VDC isola tion between input and logic circuitry and other input chan

nels. Refer to Table 1-5.

Digital input high impedance provides additional (passive) pro tection from high energy transients of field digital inputs Figure 2-1.  Digital Input Module Block Diagram Input signal path and low isolation capacitance allow protec tion against fast transient-burst disturbance.

The threshold detection block circuits test the input voltage to determine if it is at the proper voltage level to indicate an ON or OFF state. The output of this comparator is sent to a read buffer in the control logic block. If an input is energized, it also causes a corresponding input status LED on the front panel to light.

The control logic block consists of buffers that hold the input and status byte values. The I/O expander bus interface allows the control module to read these bytes

When an input signal is present at the proper voltage level, a zener diode conducts (turns on) to cause current flow through an optocoupler. Configurable jumpers (on IMDSI12) or fixed resistors (on IMDSI13, IMDSI14 or IMDSI15) select the turn-on threshold and input voltage.

The optocoupler output causes a comparator output to go low.

This lights a corresponding status LED on the module front panel to indicate an energized input; the I/O expander bus interface transmits a logic 1 to the control module on the I/O expander bus.

When no input signal is present, no current flows through the optocoupler. The front panel LED does not light and the DSI transmits a logic 0 on the bus. Figure 2-2 shows the digital input circuit.  

NOTE: The components inside the dashed boxes in Figure 2-2 are mounted only on the module versions stated in the note.

ABB’s profound accumulation in the field of industrial electrical can be traced back to the merger of ASEA and BBC in 1988. Since then, with its persistent pursuit of innovation and global resource integration capabilities, it has continuously broken through in the research and manufacturing of various electrical equipment. As an indispensable key component in electrical control systems, auxiliary contacts have also been extensively researched and optimized by ABB.

The normally open contact closes when the device is powered on, while the normally closed contact opens when the device is powered on, making it convenient for engineers to flexibly design circuits according to actual control requirements.

Rated working voltage: It can adapt to a wide range of voltage levels, such as 690V AC at AC 50Hz or 60Hz; The rated working voltage of DC is generally 250V DC. This enables the HK-11 auxiliary contacts to be widely applied in industrial electrical systems of different power supply types and voltage specifications.

Rated working current: Its rated heating current has clear numerical specifications, such as up to 10A. This parameter determines the current that the auxiliary contacts can stably carry, ensuring that under normal working conditions, the contacts will not be damaged due to overheating and ensuring the reliability of electrical connections.

Regular maintenance and inspection: Regularly inspect the HK-11 auxiliary contacts to see if there are any signs of wear, erosion, dust accumulation, etc. on the surface of the contacts. If severe contact wear or obvious arc marks are found on the surface, they should be cleaned or replaced in a timely manner. At the same time, check if the connecting cables are loose to ensure the reliability of the electrical connection. In addition, regular functional testing should be conducted on the electrical system where the auxiliary contacts are located to ensure that they can function properly during actual operation.

Similar model supplement

In ABB’s auxiliary contact product line, models similar to HK-11 include HK-10. HK-10 auxiliary contacts have certain similarities with HK-11 in basic functions and application scenarios, but there may be differences in specific contact forms, rated parameters, and other aspects. For example, HK-10 may only have a single configuration of normally open or normally closed contacts, which is suitable for some electrical systems with relatively simple control logic requirements; The combination of 1 normally open and 1 normally closed contact of HK-11 is more suitable for constructing complex control logic. When selecting, users need to comprehensively compare the characteristics and advantages of different models based on specific industrial application scenarios, control requirements, and budget factors, and choose the most suitable auxiliary contact products.
