Section 1 Introduction
DO910
The digital output module DO910 is used for activating intrinsically safe valves,
relays, or lamps and features 4 channels. The channels are electrically isolated from
each other and from the internal bus. Power is supplied via the termination unit of
the SI/O system S900, external power supply is not required.

DX910
The digital I/O module DX910 can be configured as input as well as output and,
therefore, can be used universally. When used as input, the module is used for
evaluating NAMUR proximity switches or mechanical and electronic contacts.
Used as output, for example, low power valves can be activated. The module has 8
channels which can be operated as input or output module-wise or in pairs,
depending on the parameterization mode.

Figure 2–1 DO910 Front view and contact assignment
The module is used for connecting valves and relays with current requirements up
to approximately 40 mA. All four channels each have two outputs A and B with
different voltage limits, which may only be used alternately, not simultaneously.

Switching Performance / Output Characteristic
The following figure shows the output voltage in relation to the output current.
Starting at a current of approximately 25 mA, the curves of characteristic A and B
are identical. If the operating point of the connected actuator is within the common
area, the connection can be established to terminal pair A or B. Observe the
different voltage limits!
Only devices with an internal resistance above 270 may be connected.

Selection of Suitable Valves / Relays

For Umax < 27 V connect to terminal pair B, otherwise to A
Ri > 1500 *
UN < 26 V
*Although it is possible to connect devices with an internal resistance as low as
270 , this will reduce the number of plug-in modules of the S900 station.
The coil resistance of valves and relays decreases with the temperature. For
components with low internal resistance (< 400 ), the resistance at minimum
operating temperature must be inquired at the manufacturer.
Example 1:
The following information is found on the rating plate of a valve:
UN = 7 .. 34 V
IN = 4.3 .. 25 mA
PN = 30 .. 850 mW
The internal resistance is approximately 1.5 k . In switched-on condition this
results in an operating point on curve A at approximately 21 V respectively 16 V
on curve B. The valve can be connected to both terminal pairs, as the maximum
permissible nominal operating voltage is 34 V. When connecting to B, the output is
already within the voltage limit. This does not influence the power dissipation of
the module.

Example 2:
The following information is found on the rating plate of a relay:
UN = 12 V (+/- 10%)
IN = 40 mA
The internal resistance is 300 . In switched-on condition this will result in an
operating point of approximately 12 V and 40 mA. This operating point exactly
matches the rated data of the relay. Due to the relatively lower resistance and the
inherent high power consumption (in relation to the valve in example 1), the
number of plug-in modules in an S900 station is reduced (for details regarding the
maximum number of I/O modules refer to the mounting and installation instruction
of the S900 I/O system).

DX910
Figure 2–5 DX910 Front view and contact assignment
The module is used for connecting contactless sensors or initiators according to

IEC60947 (Low-voltage switchgear and control gear, Part 5-6:. Control circuit
devices and switching elements – DC interface for proximity sensors and switching
amplifiers (NAMUR)) or DIN60947, respectively. Alternatively potential-free
contacts can be connected and evaluated by the module. External power supply is
not required, as it is provided by the module itself. When using the module as
output, intrinsically safe low power valves or optocouplers can be used, for
example.
Observe the common electrical interconnection of the channels. This means that
only potential-free sensors, contacts, and valves can be connected.
The technical data in the data sheet (catalog) only applies to channels without
load respectively for situations where all channels are loaded within the valid
range. Short-circuits an all other channels results in a load curve on the
remaining channel that is approximately 40% lower.

Connecting Peripheral Components: DX910 Section 2 Field Side Connection
Switching Performance (Input)
The following figure shows the load curve of the module when using it as an input.
Connected sensors according to the standard mentioned above will always be
within the ON or OFF ranges, their switching point is sufficiently far from the
module's switching threshold, so that safe detection is always guaranteed. If other
sensors are to be connected, make sure that the characteristic curve is within the
ON or OFF ranges. For a simple contact this is not the case, as the load resistance
is either infinite (switch open) or close to 0 (switch closed). When deactivating the
line-break and short-circuit monitoring,
the short-circuit range goes to the ON condition (“1”),
the line-break range goes to the OFF condition (“0”).
Connecting a switching contact deactivates the line-break and short-circuit

monitoring. In addition, each input can be debounced.
To be able to use line-break and short-circuit monitoring even with simple

contacts, the signal level could be matched accordingly by additional resistors.

Switching Performance (Output)
The no-load voltage is approximately 4.5 V in the OFF condition (“0”), however
with very high internal resistance. The resistance of a connected load (e. g. a low
power valve) causes the voltage to break down to a few mV. Therefore, the
following load curve only describes the ON condition (“1”).

Section 2 Field Side Connection Line Monitoring
Line Monitoring
The modules described monitor the lines to the connected actuator / sensor. Line
monitoring can be deactivated.
For output channels, line monitoring is only active when the channel outputs
“1”.

*) The voltage of the channel concerned (= output channel) is pulsed at approximately 1 kHz
to prevent overloading the module by the short-circuit current. With software version 1.10 of
the module, pulsing is only done when short-circuit monitoring is activated. From software
version 1.41 onwards, this function is independent from monitoring.

Intrinsically Safe Connection of Hazardous Area Field Devices Section 2 Field Side Connection
Intrinsically Safe Connection of Hazardous Area Field

Devices
When using the S-version of S900 Digital I/O modules together with field devices
protected for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the rules for interconnecting
current circuits regarding intrinsically safe electrical systems “i” must be observed.
Safety measures for the function itself are required, too, but not sufficient alone.
The connection of an “S” module to an explosion-protected field device

requires the consideration of interconnections according to EN50039. To be
compared are the respective EC Type Examination Certificates; only this data is
relevant.
The following information concerns the most important parameters, however, only
the standard mentioned above is binding and comprehensive.
The following device data must be compared:
UO: maximum output voltage
IO: maximum output current
PO: maximum output power
LO: maximum external inductance
CO: maximum external capacitance
UI: maximum input voltage
II : maximum input current
PI: maximum input power
LI : maximum internal inductance

Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication Configuration
Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication
Configuration
Definition
In this context, configuration means arranging the individual I/O modules of a
modular slave and, thus, making changes that have an effect on the structure of
the I/O data telegrams.
Changing the configuration on a PROFIBUS means terminating cyclic data

exchange and re-assigning the I/Os in the PROFIBUS master. Additional features
like HCIR (Hot Configuration In Run) allow for a smooth change-over, which
seems to be performed 'online' from the user's point of view. S900 supports HCIR.
Of course, HCIR must also be supported by the PROFIBUS master, as it is done,
for example, for the ABB process control systems AC870P. By description of the
required parameters in the GSD file (device data file), HCIR can be executed by
any PROFIBUS master supporting online re-parameterization (see below). Since
each of the modules described can supply a different number of secondary HART
variables (up to 8, depending on the parameterization mode), PROFIBUS requires
the formation of individual subtypes or variants here. Each variant of a type (in this
context, type corresponds to the catalog number) supplies a different amount of I/O
data.

3BDD010423R0201 A 27
Parameterization Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication
Parameterization
Definition
In this context, parameterization means defining the properties of already
configured modules.
Since parameter changes do not influence the I/O data structure, the system does
not necessarily need to be recompiled after making changes in the master. S900
allows to transmit (and receive) a parameter telegram without interrupting cyclic
data exchange. The ABB process control systems, e.g. AC800F, together with
S900 support this kind of online-re-parameterization.
Parameterization in Mode 1
Principally this is a module-wise parameterization, i. e. all channels of a module
operate with identical parameters, e. g. “Short-circuit monitoring ON”. When
parameterizing the channels as input or output (DX910) this rule is disregarded, in
order to increase flexibility. The following table describes the individual
parameters for the selectable variants.
Table 3-2 Parameters in parameterization mode 1
Parameter Type (variant) Setting Description
Short-circuit DO910 ON / OFF Switches short-circuit monitoring
monitoring DX910 ON or OFF for all module
channels. When a short circuit is
detected on one channel, the
respective input value (for digital
input) is marked as invalid, and a
channel diagnosis is transmitted.
Line-break DO910 ON / OFF Switches line-break monitoring ON

When a line-break is detected on
one channel, the respective input
value (for digital input) is marked
as invalid, and a channel diagnosis
is transmitted.

8 outputs All 8 module channels are used as
outputs.
Unused channels can also be deactivated in mode 1 through the use of CI920
variant CIPB-D.
Parameterization in Mode 2
Principally this is a channel-wise parameterization, i. e. the individual channels can
be parameterized separately. However, for the DX910 module the multitude of
parameters exceeds the PROFIBUS capabilities, so that two adjacent channels will
also be used in pairs. The following table describes the individual parameters for
the selectable variants.

30 3BDD010423R0201 A
Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication Parameterization
Debouncing
This functions is used to filter out interference signals (short voltage peaks / drops)
and for safe reading of bouncing contacts (e. g. relays). The read value is only
transmitted to the control system, when the signal level is stable over the
parameterized time. A too high debouncing time results in delayed forwarding of
the state.
Polarity
The polarity parameter facilitates designing the control system application
independently from the I/O connection. The control system application does not
have to deal with the inverse logic of some sensors / actuators. The desired
behavior is set via the user parameters of the S900. Note that the inversion in case
of output data also influences the substitute values.

I/O Data Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication
I/O Data
Validity of Input Data

S900 provides optional status information for every analog or digital input value.
The status indicates the validity of the measuring value, independent of the selected
substitution value strategy. In the application of the process control system an
individual substitution value strategy can be used, with the status bit set. Contrary
to the PROFIBUS channel diagnosis the measured value status provides for real-
time transmission and, thus, data consistency. As a rule, a transmitted substitution
value or last valid value always results in a set status bit, provided that status
information transmission has not been disabled by setting the communication
interface parameters accordingly. The ABB process control systems, e.g. AC870P,
always use measured values with status information. This ensures consistent
measuring value marking throughout the entire measuring chain. Any channel
error, module error or disturbance of PROFIBUS communication will cause an
invalid input value. In this case, the PROFIBUS master automatically sets the
status bit to the “invalid” state, i. e. to “1”. For other process control systems the
status information can be accessed like a digital input. However, the user then has
to process it “manually” in the application.

Diagnostics/Error Reaction Section 3 PROFIBUS DP Communication
Diagnostics
The module performs diagnoses in accordance with the PROFIBUS standard and
provides channel-related error messages. The coding complies with the PROFIBUS
standard as well and is beyond the scope of this document. The assignment
between the error code and the text is also standardized.
Table 3-14 Diagnostic messages
Line-break One of the connection lines is broken.
Short-circuit The connection lines are short-circuited.
Error Reaction
Input Data (DX910 only)

The reaction on errors is defined by setting the “Substitution value strategy”
parameter. When setting this parameter to “min. value” the value “0” is transmitted
as the input. In addition – if the corresponding module variant is selected – the
status bit is set. When selecting “max. value”, the value “1” is transmitted as the
input value, and the respective status bit is set. In addition, the status bit is set.
Selecting “last valid value” will freeze and maintain the last valid measured value.
Output Data (DO910 and DX910)

The reaction on errors is defined by setting the “Substitution value strategy”
parameter. When setting this parameter to “min. value” the channel assumes the
value “0”. When setting this parameter to “max. value” the channel assumes the
value “1”. Selecting “last valid value” will freeze and maintain the last valid output
value.

Standard PROFIBUS Master

The language and the parameterization mode are set by loading the respective GSD
(device data) file. The following GSD files are available for S900:
ABB_04D2.GSD Parameterization mode 2, English
ABB_04D2.GSG Parameterization mode 2, German
ABB104D2.GSD Parameterization mode 1, English
ABB104D2.GSG Parameterization mode 1, German
Parameterization mode 1 is designed for simple or older master systems. With this
file the master can be parameterized quickly and easily without the need to support
plain text. The desired parameter set can be selected from a list, and the respective
ID is entered as a module parameter.
Parameterization mode 2 is best suited for advanced master systems and allows for
extensive, detailed parameterization.
The performance specifications, operating data, diagnostic functions and cyclic
data quality are identical for the module in both parameterization modes.
After having configured the module, you usually set the module parameters.
Linking the I/O data to the application / the program is system-specific. Byte and
word access are possible to load all module channels simultaneously. The
distribution into channels must be performed within the application. As an
alternative, bit-wise access to the I/O data is possible.
3BDD010423R0201 A 37
DTM Section 4 Commissioning
DTM
Using the DTM simplifies the parameterization / configuration procedure. No
manual allocation of the I/O data (mapping) is required. The process control
system must be provided with an interface in accordance with the FDT
specification to permit proper usage of the DTM.
The DTM describes the I/O data according to the following fixed scheme:
Mxx_Chyy
Channel

AC870P
S900 is integrated in the AC870P system with the DTM. Upon configuration of the
module and closing of the DTM the I/O data are available for channel assignment,
sorted by channels.
Input Data
The input data is accessed via the DIDPB function block.

Section 4 Commissioning AC800F
AC800F
AC800F with Control Builder F permits to integrate S900 by
importing the GSD file
using the DTM
using templates
The import of the GSD file for a remote I/O with complex I/O data structures and
parameters is quite complicated for S900 and can only be performed by an
experienced user. Especially the I/O assignment is time-consuming.
Up to Revision 6.2 the DTMs are not fully supported. There are certain limitations
concerning the HART-compatible analog modules (AI930, AI931, AO930).
Moreover, no PROFIBUS diagnostic data can be displayed in the hardware tree
view.
The limitations described above can be avoided by using the device templates to
integrate the S900. A template is a “pre-configured” module with the I/O
assignment already made. Please refer to the Control Builder F documentation for
details about how to install the templates and the respective sources of supply.
Input Data
All channels are available as Boolean variables in the I/O editor. In the application,
the status bit is processed as a separate binary input signal.
The entries in the I/O editor only take the configuration data of the selected
mode into consideration. Since the effective direction of the DX910 channels
are predefined via parameters, input variables will also be created for the output
channels. These must not be used by the application.

AC800M Section 4 Commissioning
AC800M
The connection to AC800M resp. Control Builder M is carried out via hardware
definition files (HWD). After inserting the module, the channel assignment is
performed via the “Connections” dialog box. The table (see below) lists all I/O
variables. The inputs and outputs are linked as individual bits (Boolean) or used as
byte. Simultaneous use is possible for input data; output data can only be used
exclusively.

Section 4 Commissioning AC800M
Diagnostics
AC800M does not process standard PROFIBUS diagnostic data. However, status
information can be read and used to determine the state of individual channels. An
alternative is the use of SMART VISION as PROFIBUS Class 2 Master.
Measuring Value Status

In S900, output data principally does not have any channel status. Although input
data is transmitted to the PROFIBUS Master with status, the status must be
processed in the application in AC800M as a normal binary input signal.
