Control Interface Slave
Function Code 79
C IS I/O Use the control interface slave function code to interface a

Harmony controller to a control I/O module. Control I/O mod-
N

N+2 inputs, and four digital outputs. This function code defines the

characteristics of that I/O module and how the system

Explanation
Outputs
This block provides analog and digital I/O on the same board.
The final output is an I/O module status flag, which shows the
status of the control I/O module.
0 = good
1 = bad
Analog output feedbacks (N+4 and N+5) provide feedback to
M/A stations (function code 80) that have hardware stations
with bypass capabilities. This feedback signal provides an
alignment reference for the software logic, before establishing
79 - 2 WBPEEUI210504C0
control of the process when exiting from bypass or configure
mode (bumpless transfer).
NOTE: If S19 equals zero, and if there is a bad or unwired input, then the con-
trol module is tripped.
Specifications
S1 – IOSLV (Control I/O module address) I/O module address set by the
address dipswitch on the I/O module. Available addresses are
zero through 63.
S2 to S9 (AIZn and AISPn) Set the zero and span values for four analog
inputs. If an analog value goes below the zero value or exceeds
the span by more than five percent, it will produce a bad qual-
ity output. A specified span other than zero (default) for an
unused analog input produces a bad quality signal for that
input.
S10 – AO1 Block address of input for analog output one.
S11 – AO2 Block address of input for analog output two.
S12 to S14 - DIn Set the logic sense for three digital inputs. Digital inputs can
be defined for direct or reverse acting logic operations. These
are defined as follows:
0 = reverse acting (logic 0 = closed, logic 1 = open)
1 = direct acting (logic 0 = open, logic 1 = closed)
2 = unused input
S15 to S18 - DOn Block addresses of the inputs for the four digital outputs.
S19 – FAIL Value defines the module response in case of control I/O mod-
ule failure. Lack of I/O module response or a bad analog input
reference voltage will cause a transfer to error mode.

Specification S19 also determines which failure conditions
cause the I/O module status flag output N+9 to go to logic 1
(bad).

I/O Module Status Flag
0 = selects the I/O module status flag output N+9 to equal logic 1
(bad quality) when the I/O module is failed or in error mode.
1 = selects the I/O module status flag output N+9 to equal logic 1
(bad quality) when the control I/O module is in error mode
or a defined I/O point (AI, AO, DI or DO) is bad quality.
