Introduction Overview
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The DSI13, DSI14, and DSI22 Digital Input Modules provide 16 separate digital signals into the Symphony Enterprise
Management and Control System for processing and monitoring. They interface process field inputs to the system.
A contact closure or switch is an example of a device that supplies a digital signal. The controller provides the control
functions, I/O modules provide the inputs and outputs. Three variations of the DSI modules are described in this user
manual:
• DSI13 - 24 VDC inputs.
• DSI14 - 48 VDC inputs.
• DSI22 - 120 VAC, 24 VDC, 48 VDC, or 125 VDC inputs.
The following figure (Figure 1-1) shows a Harmony area controller and the Harmony rack controllers using the rack I/O
modules for I/O interface.

Description and Operation Introduction
Two captive screws on the module faceplate secure it to the module mounting unit. Sixteen front panel LED status
indicators (group A and group B) display the input status and provide aid in system test and diagnosis.
The digital input module has three card edge connectors for external signals and power (P1, P2 and P3). P1 connects to
common (ground) and +5 VDC power. P2 connects the module to the I/O expander bus to communicate with a controller.
P3 inputs the digital signals using a cable connected to a termination unit. The terminal blocks (physical connection points)
for field wiring are on the termination unit.
2.3 Inputs
Digital field inputs are voltages of 120 VAC, 24 VDC, 48 VDC, or 125 VDC. These voltages indicate an energized (on) field
device; a zero volt input indicates a de-energized (off) field device. The DSI modules have a fixed input debounce filter for
DC inputs to allow for contact debounce time (17 millisecond response time).
The DSI13 (24 VDC), the DSI14 (48 VDC), modules have fixed configurations and do not require any jumper selections.
The DSI22 (120 VAC, 24VDC, 48VDC, or 125 VDC) module has jumpers to select the working voltage. Refer to section
3- Installation of this user manual for an explanation of the jumper connections.
NOTE: Due to the number of pins on the P3 connector, 12 inputs are separate while the remaining two pairs share input
terminals. The positive (+) side of point seven and eight are tied together in each group (refer to Table 5-1). These points
must use the same contact voltage (120 VAC, 24 VDC, 48 VDC, or 125 VDC) set by the jumpers on the DSI22 module,
or according to the relevant modules working voltage.
Digital input high impedance provides additional (passive) protection from high energy transients of field digital inputs.
2VAA001638 2-1
Input Circuit Description Description and Operation
Input signal path and low isolation capacitance allow protection 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 controller to read these bytes.
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 one to the controller 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 module transmits a logic zero on the I/O expander 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
following note.
2-2 2VAA001638
Description and Operation Status Byte
The I/O expander bus is parallel signal lines located on the module mounting unit back plane. A 12-position dipshunt placed
in a connection socket on the module mounting unit back plane connects the I/O expander bus to the controller and I/O
modules. Cable assemblies can extend the I/O expander bus to six module mounting units.
A controller and its I/O modules form an individual subsystem within a process control unit (PCU). The I/O expander bus
between controller and I/O module subsystems must be separated by leaving a dipshunt socket empty or not connecting
the module mounting units with cables.
An IEMMU21 or IEMMU22 Module Mounting Unit and an NFTP01 Field Termination Panel are used for module and
termination unit mounting respectively (Figure 2-3). The mounting unit and termination panel both attach to the side rails in

2. Modify the address in the module configuration function code 84, (specification S1) to correspond with the
address set on S1. Then, use a human system interface to modify the configuration. (Refer to the appropriate
instruction of the human system interface that is used for procedures on how to modify a function code
specification.
Disconnect power before installing dipshunts on the module mounting unit backplane.
Failure to do so will result in contact with cabinet areas that could cause severe or fatal
shock.
The controller generates a MISSING SLAVE MODULE error, if the I/O expander bus is not connected between the digital
input module and the controller. Verify the bus connection on the module mounting unit backplane.
NOTE: If function code 84, specification S3 is set to zero, then the controller trips when the DSI module fails. Changing
specification S3 to ‘1’ allows the controller to continue to operate when a digital input module fails.
If the digital input module is faulty, then replace it with a new one. Refer to section 7- Repair and Replacement of this user
manual for details on the procedure to replace a DSI module.

using an antistatic vacuum. If circuit board cleaning is necessary,
refer to procedure.
2VAA001638 6-1
Printed Circuit Board Cleaning Maintenance
Perform all cleaning and handling of the printed circuit boards at static safe work stations. Always observe the steps in
section 3- Installation of this user manual when handling printed circuit boards.
Never clean electrical parts or components with live power present. Doing so exposes you
to an electrical shock hazard.
Wear eye protection whenever working with cleaning solvents. When removing solvents
from printed circuit boards using compressed air, injury to the eyes could result from
splashing solvent as it is removed from the printed circuit board.
Follow the given steps to clean tarnished or deeply stained edge connector contacts:
1. Use a nonabrasive eraser to remove tarnish or stains.
2. Use the 80/20 isopropyl alcohol/water solution during burnishing to minimize electrostatic discharge.
NOTE: Do not use excessive force while burnishing. Use only enough force to shine the contact surface.
3. Inspect the edge connector after cleaning to assure no loss of contact surface.
4. Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth.
If input or output circuits are a shock hazard after disconnecting system power at the
power entry panel, then the door of the cabinet containing these externally powered
circuits must be marked with a warning stating that multiple power sources exist.
Check all signal wiring, power and ground connections within the cabinet to verify their integrity. When checking
connections, always turn a screw, nut or other fastening device in the direction to tighten only. If the connection is loose,
then it needs to be tightened. If the connection is tight, then the tightening action verifies that it is secure. There must not be
any motion done to loosen the connection.
NOTES:
1.Verify whether all power connections within the cabinet are secure.
2.Verify whether all field wiring connections to the termination unit are secure.
