1.1 Product Description

The CDM is an I/O module that equips a QUADLOG controller with up to 32 discrete input and output
channels. Whether a channel is a discrete input or output is user selectable through 4-mation™
configuration software. In a QUADLOG controller, the CDM communicates with control modules via
IOBUS and supports:

• A “hot insert” feature that permits it to be plugged into or removed from a controller without having
to power down or reconfigure the controller, or disturb its field wiring.

• A “safety critical” rating for TÜV AK 1 to 6 applications.

1-4 July 2008

Introduction SDQLCDM-1r9

• Input short circuit detection in conjunction with Safety Rated Switch Adapters (SRSAs).

• Failed input channel detection in conjunction with SRSAs.

• Open circuit detection on output leads to field devices.

• Fail safe output control through its unique Protected Outputs™ feature

• The use of resettable soft-fuses that protect output channels from short circuits and overload
conditions.

• Improved channel error checking that does not require additional input channel wiring or error
detection programming.

• Low and high temperature operations (-25 to 70 °C) with diagnostics that detect when temperature
limits are exceeded.

• Software-configurable channels that eliminate the need for DIP switches and jumpers.

• Electrical isolation of all I/O channels from the QUADLOG controller’s back plane

• High-speed Sequence of Events (SOE) recording (refer to Document # AD39SOE-1 for details).

• Compliance with the European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, which
defines device requirements for electromagnetic interference immunity and emissions. See Document
# PIQL-15, High Strength for Increased Reliability and Safety, for more information.

1.1.1 Channel Types

The CDM provides 32 channels, each configurable as a discrete input, discrete output, or discrete pulse
output. This reduces system hardware costs and spare parts requirements. Each channel exchanges signals
with field devices through wires tied to the CDM’s termination strip and termination assemblies. The strip
and assemblies include terminal arrangements that facilitate organizing and grouping together wiring for
related discrete signals. Organized field wiring helps reduce response time to faults.

1.1.2 Configuration

Like all QUADLOG I/O modules, the CDM is configured through 4-mation software. Its configuration
plus those of other I/O modules in a QUADLOG controller collectively form a complete controller
configuration. Through 4-mation, an I/O module’s configuration is:

• written to that I/O module’s memory.

• copied to the non-volatile memory of the controller’s control module.

July 2008 1-5

SDQLCDM-1r9 Introduction

When an I/O module fails, its replacement is automatically loaded with the configuration the control
module stores. This occurs immediately after the replacement is installed and enables the new I/O module
to quickly begin operating. No 4-mation adjustments are necessary when a faulty CDM is replaced with a
new one.

When configuring a CDM in 4-mation, you must specify how its 32 channels are to operate. Any
combination of discrete inputs, outputs, or pulse outputs are possible. 4-mation also enables you to set the
following:

• Discrete Input Channel Parameters

InputFaultState – If the input channel being configured experiences a fault, it will automatically
report the logic state to which this parameter has been set.

ShutdownChannel – If this parameter is enabled, a class 4 error is reported upon detection of a

channel fault. This will initiate a shutdown of the part of the process tied to the CDM.

PulseDiagTest – This parameter enables pulse diagnostic testing and requires that the input channel
be wired with an SRSA. Refer to section 2.4.1 for details.

CAUTION

To be TÜV compliant, safety critical discrete inputs must be wired with

SRSAs and configured with the PulseDiagTest parameter enabled.

• Discrete Output Channel Parameters

ProtectedOutputChannel – If enabled, the CDM will disable all its output channels if the channel
being configured fails to de-energize when instructed.

ReadBack – If enabled, this parameter activates a diagnostic routine in which the output state of the
channel being configured is read back to the internal electronics driving it. The output is deemed
normal if the state called for by internal electronics matches that which is read back.

ShutdownChannel – If this parameter is enabled, a class 4 error is reported upon detection of a

channel fault. This will initiate a shutdown of the part of the process tied to the CDM.

PulseDiagTest – This parameter enables pulse diagnostic testing.

1-6 July 2008

Introduction SDQLCDM-1r9

CAUTION

A safety critical output is not TÜV compliant unless its PulseDiagTest

parameter is enabled.

• Sequence of Events (SOE) Discrete Input Channel Parameters

InputFaultState – If the input channel being configured experiences a fault, it will automatically
report the logic state to which this parameter has been set.

ShutdownChannel – If this parameter is enabled, a class 4 error is reported upon detection of a

channel fault. This will initiate a shutdown of the part of the process tied to the CDM.

Description – This parameter specifies a channel description that may be up to 28 characters long.

Event Priority – This parameter establishes the priority of the event associated with the configured
input. The priority can range between 1 (highest) and 4 (lowest).

AlarmState – This parameter establishes whether a TRUE or FALSE designation indicates an alarm
condition associated with the input.

PulseDiagTest – This parameter enables pulse diagnostic testing.

CAUTION

To be TÜV compliant, safety critical discrete inputs must be wired with

SRSAs and configured with the PulseDiagTest parameter enabled.

• Sequence of Events (SOE) Discrete Output Channel Parameters

ProtectedOutputChannel – If enabled, the CDM will disable all its output channels if the channel
being configured fails to de-energize when instructed.

ReadBack – If enabled, this parameter activates a diagnostic routine in which the output state of the
channel being configured is read back to the internal electronics driving it. The output is deemed
normal if the state called for by internal electronics matches that which is read back.

ShutdownChannel – If this parameter is enabled, a class 4 error is reported upon detection of a

channel fault. This will initiate a shutdown of the part of the process tied to the CDM.

Description – This parameter specifies a channel description that may be up to 28 characters long.

July 2008 1-7

SDQLCDM-1r9 Introduction

Event Priority – This parameter establishes the priority of the event associated with the configured
output. The priority can range between 1 (highest) and 4 (lowest).

AlarmState – This parameter establishes whether a TRUE or FALSE designation indicates an alarm
condition associated with the output.

PulseDiagTest – This parameter enables pulse diagnostic testing.

CAUTION

The PulseDiagTest parameter must be enabled for safety critical

discrete outputs to be TÜV compliant.

• Discrete Pulse Output Channel Parameters

ReadBack – If enabled, this parameter activates a diagnostic routine in which the output state of the
channel being configured is read back to the internal electronics driving it. The output is deemed
normal if the state called for by internal electronics matches that which is read back.

Duration – This parameter specifies the channel’s pulse output duration. Pulses may be configured to
be between 10 and 2000 milliseconds long and 10 milliseconds apart.

ProtectedOutputChannel – If enabled, the CDM will disable all its output channels if the channel
being configured fails to de-energize when instructed.

ShutdownChannel – If this parameter is enabled, a class 4 error is reported upon detection of a

channel fault. This will initiate a shutdown of the part of the process tied to the CDM.

For more detailed information on the above parameters, consult Document # CG39-20, Using
ProcessSuite 4-mation Configuration Software Version 4.30 or Higher.

1.1.3 I/O Power Supplies

To power field devices and the CDM’s discrete input channels, an external safety rated 24 or 48 VDC I/O
power supply must be supplied by the user or system integrator. Contact or switch closures to be detected
by CDM input channels must be wired to enable 24 or 48 VDC to be applied to input channel terminals
when closed. Channels configured as outputs use MOSFETs to switch 24 or 48 VDC to field devices.

1-8 July 2008

Introduction SDQLCDM-1r9

1.1.4 Soft-Fuse Feature

The CDM’s Soft-Fuse feature protects its output channels from over-current conditions caused by field
wiring or device problems. Each channel contains an over-current detection circuit that acts as a resettable
fuse. When over-current conditions are detected, the fuses switch off before output channel damage can
occur. Channels with blown soft fuses are reported on ProcessSuite™ Vision WindowViewer diagnostic
screens, which also provide an interface through which soft fuses can be reset. Blown soft fuses can also
be reset at the CDM itself using a built-in push button located behind its bezel door.

1.1.5 Terminations

A CDM’s field I/O wiring terminations may be locally mounted within the enclosure containing the
CDM’s rack or mounted remotely in a separate enclosure known as a “marshalling cabinet.”

NOTE

In this manual, a “rack” can be a MODULRAC, SIXRAC, Remote I/O

Rack, or UNIRAC unless otherwise noted.

Local terminations tie to an SDM/CDM Termination Strip, which can be used only if the CDM is
installed in a MODULRAC. Remote terminations can be implemented with any rack type and tie to
SDM/CDM Marshalled or Rail Termination Assemblies housed in a marshalling cabinet.

Signals from the Termination Strip, Marshalled Termination Assembly, or Rail Termination Assembly
are applied to the CDM at its lower rear P2 connector. When installing the CDM in a rack slot, P2 mates
with a connector on one of two possible devices attached to the back of that slot:

• The SDM/CDM Termination Strip itself (applicable to MODULRAC only).

• An Interconnect I/O Cable linked to either a Marshalled or Rail Termination Assembly.

2 Installation
This section describes procedures for installing CDM hardware, determining appropriate field wiring
gauges, and connecting field wiring to CDM termination strips and assemblies.

IMPORTANT

Installation should be performed in accordance with the National

Electrical Code (NEC) and other applicable construction and
electrical codes.

2.1 Hardware Identification

The letters “CDM” are printed on the Critical Discrete Module’s front bezel. Two labels – a large one
located on the module’s left side and a smaller one found within its bezel compartment – specify its
model designation, part number, ROM version, software compatibility identification, and serial number.
The larger label also includes current and voltage requirements and space for additional information such
as agency approval certifications.

2.1.1 CDM Termination Strip Identification

The CDM uses the same Part # 16128-21 Termination Strip as the SDM. A silk-screened label, which is
illustrated below, identifies the part.

2.2 Considerations and Preparation

Steps to ensure that QUADLOG modules comply with the European Union’s Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Directive are described below, along with guidelines for preparing CDM support
hardware and I/O wiring.

2.2.1 EMC Directive Installation Considerations

The CDM alone meets EMC emission and immunity standards as certified by a “Declaration of
Conformity” statement provided at the back of this manual. This statement also identifies QUADLOG’s
Technical Construction File certificate number.

For a complete QUADLOG system to be EMC directive compliant, equipment enclosures must:

• Provide sufficient RF attenuation.

• House only QUADLOG equipment whose AC power input conductors and MODULBUS (M-BUS)
cables are filtered.

• Be grounded and tied to the shields of all shielded cables entering or exiting them.

NOTE

Personnel safety standard EN61010-1 requires that equipment be

installed in locked enclosures that cannot be opened without a key or
similar tool.

Consult Siemens for additional information concerning EMC Directive compliance and the availability of
enclosures and other required hardware.

2-2 July 2008

Installation SDQLCDM-1r9

2.2.2 Installation Preparation

The following are guidelines for preparing CDM support hardware and I/O wiring.

1. The CDM’s controller rack should be installed in its enclosure. If using a MODULRAC and local
terminations, install a Part # 16128-21 Termination Strip for each of the rack’s CDMs. The actual
CDMs should not be plugged into their slots at this time, but their node, rack, and slot numbers
should be known.

2. Determine the field wiring lengths required by CDM I/O channels. For local terminations, these
lengths cover distances between the 16128-21 Termination Strip and field devices. For remote
terminations, wiring lengths correspond to how far away field devices are from Marshalled or Rail
Termination Assemblies. Additionally, Interconnect I/O Cable lengths linking Marshalled or Rail
Termination Assemblies to CDMs must be determined. See Section 2.3, I/O Wiring Considerations,
for more information.

3. I/O cables to be locally terminated should be tagged and routed into the rack enclosure. Once in the
enclosure, they can be readied for connection to 16128-21 Termination Strips.

4. I/O cables to be remotely terminated should also be tagged and readied for cable end preparation, but
routed into the marshalling cabinet containing their corresponding Marshalled or Rail Termination
Assemblies. Interconnect I/O cables should also be routed between the marshalling cabinet and the
enclosure containing the CDMs’ rack.

5. Determine the I/O power supply amperage needed to support field devices per the instructions of
Section 2.5, I/O Power Supply Considerations.

6. Determine the number of SRSAs required. Wire and plug-type SRSAs are available in kits identified
in Table 3–3. SRSAs are discussed in Section 4.3, Pulse Test Channel Diagnostics, and illustrated in
Figure 2–16.

2.3 I/O Wiring Considerations

Figure 2–1 through 2-3 show typical local, marshalled, and fused marshalled I/O wiring. I/O connections
between field devices and local or marshalled terminations are made with user-supplied cable. This cable
consists of two insulated conductors that may be:

• Stranded or solid wire.

• Unshielded with a jacket and arranged in a twisted pair.
• Shielded and certified as having passed EMC 61000-4-5 testing to level 3.

July 2008 2-3

SDQLCDM-1r9 Installation

2.3.1 Interconnect I/O Cable Connections

In the marshalled I/O connection depicted in Figure 2–1, an Interconnect I/O Cable links a Marshalled
Termination Assembly to a CDM. The Interconnect I/O Cable’s P2 connector mates with the J1
connector of the Marshalled Termination Assembly. The cable’s J1 connector engages the CDM’s rear
P2 connector. If the CDM has a redundant back up, a second Interconnect I/O Cable would run from the
Termination Assembly’s J2 connector to the P2 connector of the back up CDM. See Table 3-3 for
available Interconnect I/O Cable part numbers and standard lengths.

NOTE

For marshalled I/O connections, Interconnect I/O cable lengths must be

specified before designing your QUADLOG system’s physical layout.
See section 2.3.5, Selecting An Interconnect I/O Cable for Marshalled or
Rail Terminations.

DANGER

Electrical shock hazard

2.3.2 Rail Termination Assembly Connections

Figure 2-2 illustrates a DIN rail-mounted Rail Termination Assembly, which links to its CDM through an
unterminated Interconnect I/O Cable. Unterminated Interconnect I/O Cables do not have a P2 connector.
They instead have bare wires that tie to Rail Termination Assembly terminals identified by wire and stripe
color. See Table 3–3 for available Interconnect I/O Cable part numbers and standard lengths.

NOTE

Unterminated Interconnect I/O cable lengths must be specified before

designing your QUADLOG system’s physical layout. See Section 2.3.5,
Selecting An Interconnect I/O Cable for Marshalled or Rail
Terminations.

Note that the Rail Termination Assembly does not support CDM redundant back ups. It features 33
terminals spread across eight terminal blocks, which snap into a user-supplied DIN rail. The first terminal
block includes connections for a 24 or 48 VDC I/O power supply. The power supply connection features
a quick-disconnect link for facilitating system maintenance. The remaining terminal blocks are for I/O
channel field wiring.

2-6 July 2008

Installation SDQLCDM-1r9

A 0.25 A, field-replaceable fuse, with “fuse open” LED indicator, protects Rail Termination Assembly
terminals assigned to CDM discrete inputs. Input-configured channels that are user-designated as “safety
critical” or “shutdown” channels must have the fuse assembly replaced with a plug-type Safety Related
Switch Adapter (SRSA). Channels configured as discrete outputs do not use physical fuses or SRSAs, but
are protected from overloads by the CDM’s internal soft fuse feature.

2.3.3 Fused Marshalled Termination Assembly Connections

Figure 2–3 Basic Fused Marshalled I/O Connections

Figure 2-3 illustrates basic connections to a Fused Marshalled Termination Assembly. This assembly
features:

• Redundant I/O Power connections with “power present” LED indicators for each power input.

• Individual input power fuses with “power present/fuse OK” LED indicators.

• An I/O wiring shield terminal on each channel terminal set.

2.3.4 Determining Field Wiring Gauge

Review your QUADLOG system’s physical layout and identify the field device that will be the greatest
distance away from local or remote CDM terminations. This distance determines the wire gauge to use for
all CDM field wiring connections. For runs of less than 100 feet, use any gauge between 24 and 14 AWG
(0.38 to 2.1 mm2). For greater than 100 feet, use 18 AWG (0.82 mm2) or thicker wire.

2.3.5 Selecting An Interconnect I/O Cable for Marshalled or Rail Terminations

An Interconnect I/O Cable connects a Marshalled or Rail Termination Assembly to its corresponding
CDM. This cable is available with or without a Termination Assembly connector and in standard lengths
of between 1.75 and 30 meters. Your QUADLOG system’s physical layout should be designed around
this cable length range, which specifies allowable CDM-to-Termination-Assembly distances.

An Interconnect I/O Cable length must be selected based on how CDM channels will be configured. If all
32 channels will be discrete inputs, a length in the permitted range can be chosen at random. Cable length
must be more methodically selected if the CDM is to support discrete outputs.

Field devices driven by CDM discrete outputs are energized by 24 or 48 VDC applied to specific
Termination Assembly terminals. Because of Interconnect I/O Cable and Termination Assembly
interactions, trade-offs exist among:

• DC voltage levels actually fed to field devices through the Termination Assembly.

• Field device current requirements.

• Interconnect I/O Cable lengths greater than or equal to 3 meters.

NOTE
No trade-offs exist for lengths less than 3 meters.

Long cable lengths and high current drawing field devices will result in increased power losses and the
power available to field devices will dip proportionately lower than the expected 24 or 48 VDC.
Interconnect I/O Cable length should therefore be chosen to minimize DC voltage losses and ensure that
enough power is available to field devices when CDM outputs energize. Procedures for optimizing
Interconnect I/O Cable length are provided below.

2.3.5.1 Determining Optimum Interconnect I/O Cable Length

A CDM that supports both remote terminations and discrete output channels should operate with an
Interconnect I/O Cable length selected using these steps:

1. Obtain the specifications of all field devices to be driven by CDM discrete outputs. Record (write
down) each device’s DC voltage and current requirements.

2. Take the current requirements recorded in step 1 and add them together. The resulting value is the
total amperage used by all field devices and should be recorded. The I/O Power Supply you connect
to the Termination Assembly must be able to source this current.

July 2008 2-9

SDQLCDM-1r9 Installation

3. Review the data gathered in step 1 and identify the field device that consumes the most current.

4. If the total amperage calculated in step 2 is less than or equal to 6 A, refer to Graph A of Figure 2-4.
If total amperage exceeds 6 A, refer to Graph B of Figure 2–4.

5. On the horizontal axis of the graph selected in step 4, find the amperage value corresponding to the
field device identified in step 3 that draws the most current.

6. Read the corresponding DC voltage levels that would be supplied the field device, given the various
choices of Interconnect I/O Cable lengths.

7. Select an Interconnect I/O Cable length by analyzing the curves that correspond to available lengths.
Base your decision on the minimum DC Voltage level required by the field device to energize, as
well as on whether your I/O Power Supply can be adjusted to compensate for Interconnect I/O Cable
and Termination Assembly losses.

NOTE

Losses within wire connecting a field device to a Termination Assembly

may also impact the DC voltage level that the field device sees. Such
losses can be ignored for wire runs under 100 feet or for wire gauges
exceeding 18 AWG. If field wiring loss cannot be ignored, subtract it
from the voltage levels read from the graphs.

Example Calculation:

Can a 30 meter Interconnect I/O Cable be used to link a CDM to its Termination Assembly if:

• A 24 VDC field device that draws 0.3 A is tied to a CDM discrete output channel?

• The total load current for CDM output channels is 6 A?

• Ignore field wiring line loss.

Solution:

Graph A of Figure 2–4covers a total load current range of 6A or less and is the graph appropriate to this
example. At the intersection of the curve representing a 30 meter cable and 0.3 A, an output channel
power voltage of approximately 22 VDC can be read.

A 30 meter Interconnect I/O cable can therefore be used if 22 VDC is enough energy to activate the field
device. If it is not, the cable length must be shortened, or the 24 VDC tied to the Termination Assembly
should be increased slightly to compensate for the loss estimated from Graph A of Figure 2–4.

CAUTION

I/O Power Supply voltage levels should never be increased past CDM
tolerances. Refer to CDM specifications in Section 5 .

July 2008 2-11

SDQLCDM-1r9 Installation

2.4 Critical I/O Device Considerations

Field devices tied to safety critical CDM inputs and outputs must be wired with other equipment to meet
safety standards. These are described below.

2.4.1 CDM Critical Inputs and SRSAs

CDM critical input channels require that SRSAs be wired in series with input devices. Refer to Section
4.2.4 for a discussion on using SRSAs.

2.4.2 CDM Critical Channels and Intrinsic Safety Barriers

When wiring Intrinsic Safety (IS) barriers to CDM critical I/O channels, Siemens recommends:

• Using only active barriers (isolators)

• That customers examine fault detection issues on the barriers’ hazardous (field) side.

Pulse diagnostic tests cannot detect wiring or short faults on the hazardous sides of the barriers. For
critical channels, another means of fault detection must therefore be implemented. One suggested method
is using safety-rated isolators that provide hazardous side channel diagnostics of their own. Contact
Siemens application engineering support with questions regarding intrinsic safety.

2.5 I/O Power Supply Considerations

A Model # PSR4A rack-mounted power supply or user-supplied I/O power supply is required for all
CDM applications. This power supply:

• Energizes field devices and CDM channel circuitry.

• Must be sized by the user.

• Must have appropriate safety ratings.

2-12 July 2008

Installation SDQLCDM-1r9

2.5.1 Sizing An I/O Power Supply

Use the following formula to size an I/O Power Supply:

IPS = IL + 0.45N

Where:

IPS = The minimum DC current that the I/O Power Supply must provide in Amps

IL = Summation of the maximum DC load currents in Amps of all load devices tied to CDM
channels.

N = 1 for a single non-redundant CDM, or 2 for redundant CDMs

Example Calculation:

Calculate IPS for rack-to-rack redundant CDMs with 12 I/O channels connected to 0.2A loads and 20
channels used as inputs.

Solution:

IPS = (12) × (0.2) + (0.45) × (2) = 3.3 A minimum

2.5.2 Determining Power Supply Mounting Location

I/O power supplies should be mounted to a Part # 16114-12 Utility Panel and housed in a separate
MODULPAC or user-supplied enclosure. Design your power supply mounting using Utility Panel
dimensions provided in Figure 2–5.

For CDMs that use local terminations, power supply enclosures should be attached to, or placed in close
proximity to MODULRAC enclosures. This ensures short power cable runs to CDM Termination Strips.

When marshalled terminations are used, both Termination Assemblies and I/O power supplies can be
mounted to the same Utility Panel. Typically, four Marshalled Termination Assemblies, or two Relay
Marshalled Termination Assemblies, can be mounted on a Utility Panel with two I/O Power Supplies.

2.6 Environmental Considerations

Industrial environments may subject equipment to severe operating conditions. The conditions at each
CDM location must be within the specifications described in Section 5 .

To ensure reliable system communications, locate all QUADLOG system hardware away from
electromagnetic interference sources, such as high-current electrical machinery.

2.7 Equipment Delivery and Handling

CDM shipping, receiving, and warehouse storage considerations are described below.

2.7.1 Predelivery Test

A CDM is factory tested and inspected to ensure proper operation. If the CDM is ordered factory-installed
in an enclosure, the CDM is tested and inspected as a QUADLOG system enclosure component.

2.7.2 Factory Shipment

CDMs to be installed by the user are placed in static shielding bags and packaged for shipment.
Accessories are packaged separately. If the CDM is ordered factory-installed in an enclosure, the
enclosure is bolted to a pallet and wrapped for protection during shipment.

2.7.3 Receipt of Shipment

All cartons should be inspected at the time of their delivery for possible external damage. Any visible
damage should be immediately recorded on the carrier’s copy of the delivery slip. Each carton should be
carefully unpacked and its contents checked against the enclosed packing list. At the same time, each item
should be inspected for hidden damage that may or may not have been accompanied by exterior carton
damage.

If it is found that some items have been damaged or are missing, notify Siemens immediately and provide
full details. Refer to sections 2.7.4 and 2.7.5. Damages must be reported to the carrier with a request for
their on-site inspection of the damaged item and its shipping carton.

2.7.4 Return of Equipment within North America

US Customers:

• Call the Repair Order PAS Inside Sales/Order Management Group at (215) 646-7400, ext 4RMA
(4762) weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. eastern time to obtain an RMA number. Mark the
RMA number prominently on the outside of the shipment.

• When calling for an RMA number, provide the reason for the return. If returning equipment for
repair, a detailed description of failure symptoms and system behavior will be requested. Supply a
purchase order number for repairs. Follow the TSC specialist's recommendation for battery
connection, if applicable.

• If applicable, you must supply a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) with each item being returned if
it was stored or used in a location where hazardous materials were present.

• Package items to be returned in their original shipping containers. Otherwise, package it for safe
shipment or contact the factory for shipping recommendations. A module must be placed inside a
static shielding bag to protect it from electrostatic discharge.

Canadian customers:

Contact Siemens Canada.

2.7.5 Return of Equipment outside North America

Contact your Siemens Representative.

2.7.6 Equipment Handling and Storage

The CDM is completely enclosed. It may be safely handled without undertaking electrostatic discharge
handling procedures as long as its bezel compartment door is closed and secured. DO NOT TOUCH the
connector pins on the back of the module. Handle the module carefully and do not subject it to excessive
shock or vibration. The storage temperature and humidity parameters of Section 5 must be met when
storing a CDM.

2.8 Termination Strip Installation

A Part # 16128-21 Termination Strip must be installed at the rack slot location of each CDM when local
I/O termination is employed. A Local Termination Panel must also be installed.

NOTE

Local Termination is only supported in MODULRACs. If any other rack

is used, Marshalled or Rail Terminations must be used.

2-16 July 2008

Installation SDQLCDM-1r9

Refer to Figure 2–6 and the following mounting instructions:

1. Record the slot locations assigned to each CDM in each MODULRAC.

2. Note the following on the MODULRAC and Termination Strip:

• On the MODULRAC, locate and identify the extruded spacer to which the lower edge of the back
plane is mounted. The bottom of the extruded spacer is grooved. The top edge of the Termination
Strip rests in this groove.

• Identify ten alignment pins located below the MODULRAC frame that span the width of the
MODULRAC panel. One of these pins engages a hole located on the Termination Strip above the
Siemens logo. The left-most pin corresponds to MODULRAC slot #1.

• The Termination Strip’s captive mounting screws can be seen projecting from the bottom of the
plastic extrusion panel.

2.9 Termination Assembly and I/O Cable Installation

The following describes a Termination Assembly’s DIN rail and flat surface installation within a cabinet
or enclosure. Interconnect I/O Cable installation is also described.

2.9.1 DIN Rail Installation Procedures

The Termination Assemblies shown in Figure 1–1 through 1-3 can be snapped onto DIN rails, which are
mounted on panels within Termination Assembly enclosures. Suggested DIN rails include the following:

• Preferred: Top hat profile EN 50 022-35 mm × 7.5 mm or EN 50 022-35 mm × 15 mm

• Alternate: G-profile EN 50 035-G 32 mm

2.9.1.1 Marshalled Termination Assembly

DIN rail installation of a Marshalled Termination Assembly is described as follows:

1. Mount user-supplied DIN rails and wire duct to a Utility Panel, Marshalling Utility Panel, or user-
fabricated panel. Mount one DIN rail for each Termination Assembly to be placed on the panel. Refer
to these steps:

a. Determine the mounting layout of the Termination Assembly and its corresponding wire duct.
Part # 16114-12 Utility Panel dimensions are provided in Figure 2–6. Figure 2–8 shows

July 2008 2-19

SDQLCDM-1r9 Installation

NOTE

Different Termination Assemblies are used for each type of I/O module
to be installed in a QUADLOG controller. Their dimensions can vary
and they are not always interchangeable.

b. Drill and tap DIN rail mounting holes in the panel. Remove all burrs and metal debris and clean
the panel.

c. Screw the DIN rails onto the panel using the holes made in step 1b.

2. Mount the panel with newly installed DIN rails in a MODULPAC marshalling or user-supplied
cabinet. Refer to Document #’s SD39MODULPAC-1 and SD39MODULPAC-2 for installation and
service instructions for the MODULPAC 1000 and 2000 cabinets.

3. Prepare Marshalled Termination Assemblies to be mounted on panel DIN rails in the cabinet.

a. Assign a rack address number (1 to 16) and slot number (1 to 10) to each of the CDMs tied to
each Termination Assembly to be mounted. Rack address and slot numbers should also be
assigned to redundant CDMs, if applicable. For rack-to-rack redundant controllers connected to
MODULNET, the MODULNET node address for each controller should be known.

b. Obtain CDM labels from the supplied bag of labels and mark them with the rack and slot
numbers assigned in step 3a. If MODULNET redundancy is applicable, make sure that all CDM
labels are marked with appropriate node addresses.

A CDM label and the locations of where it can be affixed are illustrated in Figure 1–1. Affix primary
CDM labels to the space adjacent to each Marshalled Termination Assembly’s J1 connector. Secondary
(redundant) CDM labels should be placed next to each Assembly’s J2 connector.

Verify that the J1 and J2 connectors are keyed according to the patterns shown in Figure 2–7.

NOTE

The J1 and J2 connectors are where Interconnect I/O Cables attach so

that Marshalled Termination Assemblies can be linked to corresponding
CDMs. Interconnect I/O Cable connectors have a key pattern that
matches that of the J1 and J2 connectors. This prevents the cables of
other QUADLOG I/O modules from being accidentally tied to CDM
Marshalled Termination Assemblies. Arranging the key pattern for a
CDM’s Interconnect I/O Cable is discussed in section 0.

2.10 CDM Installation

CDM installation procedures are described below, which include:

• Keying the CDM’s rack slot.

• Inserting the CDM into its rack slot.

2.10.1 CDM and Rack Slot Keying

Each MODULRAC, SIXRAC, Remote I/O Rack or UNIRAC slot and their corresponding modules must
be keyed to prevent problems associated with accidentally installing a module in an incompatible slot.

Modules are keyed at the factory. Every module type has its own unique the keying pattern. The CDM’s
keying pattern is depicted in Figure 2–11.

2-26 July 2008

Installation SDQLCDM-1r9

Figure 2–11 CDM Keying Assignment and Installation

A factory-assembled MODULRAC, SIXRAC, Remote I/O Rack, or UNIRAC is keyed at the factory. If
you assembled your MODULRAC, SIXRAC, Remote I/O Rack, or UNIRAC yourself, make sure that its
slots are keyed according to the module type assigned each slot. Slot keying patterns complement those
on I/O modules. Stop plugs for establishing keying patterns are supplied with all rack types.

July 2008 2-27

SDQLCDM-1r9 Installation

Perform the following to key a CDM rack slot:

1. Obtain the Keying Kit supplied with the rack.

2. Locate the rack’s top and bottom rails and refer to Figure 2–11 for the rack keying pattern.

3. To key the rack slot, press stop plugs into the rack rail holes identified in Figure 2–11.

2.10.2 Inserting the CDM into its Rack Slot

Use the following procedure to insert the CDM into its rack slot.

1. Remove the CDM from its static shielding bag and verify that both it and its rack slot are keyed per
the patterns of Figure 2–11.

2. Insert the CDM into its rack slot. Use uniform pressure to firmly seat the module in the backplane and
transition board connectors. If the module does not seat, double-check the keying. A properly seated
module will have the rear of its bezel flush against the rack’s front rails. A keyed module that is not
matched to a slot will not engage the backplane or transition board connectors or seat flush against the
rack’s front rails.

3. Pull open the CDM bezel’s pivoting top and bottom handles to expose the slotted captive mounting
screws and secure the module to the top and bottom rails. Close the bezel handles when finished.

CAUTION

Do not use the captive mounting screws to seat the module. This may

Will cause death, serious injury or property damage

• Remove power from all wires and terminals and verify that there
are no hazardous voltages before working on equipment.
• In potentially hazardous atmosphere, remove power from
equipment before connecting or disconnecting power, signal, or
other circuit, or extracting/inserting module.
• Observe all pertinent regulations regarding installation in
hazardous area.
• Ensure all devices are rated for hazardous (classified) locations.

This section describes power supply and field I/O connections to the CDM’s Termination Strip and
Marshalled Termination Assembly. It is assumed that tagged field I/O wires have been pulled into the
rack enclosure or marshalling cabinet and are ready for preparation and connection.

NOTE

The same procedures for making power supply and field I/O connections
to the CDM’s Termination Strip and Marshalled Termination Assembly
can be applied to the Fused and Relay Marshalled Termination
Assemblies. Consult Document # SD39RMTA-1 for wiring a Relay
Marshalled Termination Assembly. Wiring information for the Rail
Termination Assembly is available in Document # 15900-343.

Safety Related Switch Adapter (SRSA) installation on safety-critical discrete input channel terminals is
also discussed. Figure 2–12 and Figure 2–13 show sample I/O wiring configurations.

2.11.1 AC Supply Connections

AC input connections route power from a power input assembly to the I/O Power Supply described in
Section 2.5. For AC input cable connections between the I/O Power Supply and a Power Distribution

Remove power from all involved wires and terminals before handling.

2.11.2 I/O Power Supply and Field Wiring Connections

Follow the steps below to complete I/O Power Supply and field wiring connections to CDM Termination
Strips and Assemblies.

1. Refer to the user or system integrator drawings to identify the Termination Strip or Assembly
terminals to which field I/O wiring should be tied. I/O power supplies should be connected to DC
power input terminals as identified in Figure 1–1, Figure 1–3, and Figure 2–2.

2. Note the following when preparing I/O Power Supply and field device cable ends:.

• Do not solder multiple wires or the strands of multiple-strand wires for insertion into terminals.
Solder is a malleable material and can loosen, causing open connections. Also, corrosion to the
terminal block can result from the pickling agents or flux used with solder.

• Use a pin-type crimp-on connector when two or more wires or a combination of wires and
component leads must be inserted into terminal. Also, use a pin-type crimp-on connector for
connections that will be moved regularly.

Wires and leads are crimped into the connector and the connector pin is inserted into the selected
terminal. This is demonstrated in Figure 2–12. The use of insulated crimp-on connectors is
recommended.

NOTE

Use a crimping tool recommended by the connector manufacturer to

ensure a mechanically strong, low-electrical-resistance connection.

3. Use the following torque specifications when screwing wires into terminals:

• LMI (gray) local termination terminal blocks: 3.5 to 5.5 in. lbs.

• Phoenix (green) terminal blocks: 6.5 to 8.5 in. lbs.

4. Complete the necessary connections for each configured channel per user or system integrator
drawings.

IMPORTANT

A suppression diode (1N4005 or equivalent) is recommended for

connection across inductive loads. Connect the diode as close as possible
to the load device for maximum benefit. Connect the cathode (banded
end) to the positive terminal of the load and the anode to the negative
terminal of the load. See Figure 2–12.

2.11.3 Safety-Related Switch Adapter (SRSA) Installation

Safety-Related Switch Adapters (plug type or wire type) are installed in series with channels configured
as discrete inputs. The SRSA is discussed in section 4.3 and illustrated in Figure 2–13, Figure 2–14, and
Figure 2–15.

SRSAs are available in eight piece kits identified in Table 3–3. Refer to the Instruction provided in the kit
for details concerning their mounting and wiring. SRSAs are voltage specific – the correct ones must be
installed with the 24 or 48 VDC I/O Power Supply used.

2.12 Output Fuse Reset Switch Operation

As shown in Figure 2–16, a reset switch is located inside the CDM front bezel compartment. The purpose
of the reset switch is to clear error flags from all configured output channels that have posted the
following error in the 4-mation configuration program:

System Service Code Error Code Description

07 07 Output Channel XX Tripped Fuse

The error description indicates that an output channel fuse has soft fuse has tripped as a result of an
overload condition. Soft fuse functionality is discussed in section 4.2.3.

2-34 July 2008

Installation SDQLCDM-1r9

When a reset is initiated at the CDM, it is recorded as a system event, which displays in 4-mation or HMI
software such as APACS+ ProcessSuite or APACS+ Process Supervisor. A warning is also posted,
indicating that a reset has occurred. The warning is posted each and every time a reset is initiated at the
module. Since the error(s) also can be cleared on a per channel basis by 4-mation, the warning serves to
alert control room personnel on HMI computers that error clearing has been initiated by someone at the
module’s locale.

NOTE

Pressing the output fuse reset switch when no tripped fuse errors are
present does not affect the operation of CDM I/O channels.

Figure 2–16 Tripped Fuse Reset Switch

July 2008 2-35

SDQLCDM-1r9 Installation

2.13 Configuration

The CDM and its associated control module must be configured before being placed on-line.

CAUTION

When a CDM channel is used in a safety application, specific softlist

parameters must be configured. Details are provided in 4-mation and
Safety Manual documentation. Refer to the manuals I/O Module
Configuration for QUADLOG (Document # CGQL-4) and the
QUADLOG Safety Manual (Document # CGQLSAFETY-1) for more
information.

After the initial CDM power-up routine has been successfully completed, the CDM’s green OK LED
flashes on and off, indicating an unconfigured module. When the control module recognizes that the
CDM is on-line, it automatically downloads the proper configuration to the CDM. When the
configuration is accepted, the OK LED is set to solid green.

If the CDM is non-redundant, the control module enables the CDM by setting its ACTIVE LED to solid
green, indicating that it is in service. If the CDM is one of a redundant pair, and the other CDM is in the
Calculate mode, the control module disables the CDM, places it in the Verify mode, and turns its ACTIVE
LED turning off.

DANGER

Electrical shock hazard

Explosion hazard

Will cause death, serious injury or property damage

• Remove power from all wires and terminals and verify that there are no
hazardous voltages before working on equipment.
• In potentially hazardous atmosphere, remove power from equipment
before connecting or disconnecting power, signal, or other circuit, or
extracting/inserting module.
• Observe all pertinent regulations regarding installation in hazardous
area.
• Ensure all devices are rated for hazardous (classified) locations.

The QUADLOG Critical Discrete Module (CDM) and its associated assemblies require minimal
maintenance. Some routine maintenance is recommended in the form of a visual inspection and a possible
cleaning.

3.1 Tool And Equipment Requirements

The following tools and equipment are necessary for CDM servicing:

• Common electronic servicing hand tools

• A digital voltmeter that meets the following requirements:

- Accuracy: +/- 1% of reading

- Resolution: 1.0 millivolt

- Input Impedance: 10 Megohms

3.2 Visual Inspection

The CDM and its associated assemblies should be subjected to a periodic visual inspection. The
frequency of inspection will depend on the severity of the operating environment. The primary aim of the
inspection is to reveal any excessive accumulation of dust, dirt, or other foreign material adhering to the
surfaces of the termination assembly and the CDM’s protective covers. Excessive accumulation of dirt
and dust prevents efficient heat dissipation and may cause module or system failure. A CDM installed in a
cabinet complying with the NEMA 12/IP65 specifications need not be inspected for cleanliness. See
Section 3.3 for cleaning instructions).

July 2008 3-1

SDQLCDM-1r9 Maintenance

3.3 Cleaning

Cleaning the CDM involves brushing or vacuuming its protective covers to restore cooling efficiency that
may have been degraded by accumulated dust. Cleaning an Termination Strip or Marshalled Termination
Assembly involves careful brushing and vacuuming to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Be careful not
to dislodge wiring.

3.4 Troubleshooting

There are 34 LED indicators on the CDM bezel. In addition, 4-mation software provides comprehensive
on-line error reporting. Refer to Configuring APACS+ and QUADLOG Hardware (Document # UM39-

4 Circuit Description
A simplified block diagram of the CDM is shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4–1 CDM Block Diagram

The CDM consists of the following elements:

• CPU (68302)

• Memory (RAM and EPROM) - Stores module configuration parameters.

• IOBUS Interface - Provides digital data and command conversion needed for communication.

• 32 Critical Discrete I/O Circuits (24 VDC or 48 VDC) - Process discrete input and output signals.

• LED Indicators (on module bezel) - One LED per channel indicates channel status. An ACTIVE LED
indicates that the module is enabled. An OK LED indicates the status of the module.

4.1 Diagnostics

The CDM is safety critical-rated. As such, no known dangerous undetected failures are permitted in the
design. This requirement in turn requires extremely effective self diagnostics verified by full Failure

July 2008 4-1

SDQLCDM-1r9 Circuit Description

Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and fault injection testing. The goals of CDM diagnostics are as
follows:

• Notify the appropriate personnel of a module malfunction or wiring error.

• Perform automatic switchover in a fully redundant (1oo2D) QUADLOG system.

• Perform automatic shutdown of a channel or a module if a dangerous fault is detected (for failsafe
operation)

CDM diagnostics consist cover individual channels and common circuits. Each CDM channel can detect
the following faults:

• Input channel failed (stuck at “1”, stuck at “0”, diagnostic circuit fail)

• Output channel failed (ON, OFF, diagnostic circuit fail)

• Output channel tripped fuse

• Shorted redundancy diode

• Discrete pulse output channel (DPOC) duration limit exceeded

There are numerous other module diagnostics, some of which are categorized as follows:

• Power supply diagnostics

• Memory diagnostics

• Communication diagnostics

• Redundancy diagnostics

• Watchdog reset diagnostics

• Miscellaneous diagnostics

Any errors detected by these diagnostics are reported to the control module. The control module and the
CDM maintain a log of current and historical errors that can be reviewed using the operator interface or
the APACS+ 4-mation configuration software. In addition, the module’s LED’s indicate errors.

4.2 Input/Output Channel Circuitry

Each configured input channel can read a discrete signal from the field. Each configured output channel
can supply an output voltage and current to a load.

4-2 July 2008

Circuit Description SDQLCDM-1r9

4.2.1 External Power Supply Input

As shown in Figure 4–1, an external 24/48 VDC I/O power supply provides power for the module’s
isolated I/O circuits and field loads. This power supply must meet all necessary safety approvals. The
module’s CPU and signal processing circuits are powered by a separate 24 VDC power supply that
provides operating power to the modules via the rack backplane. It is highly recommended that the I/O
power supply be separate from the backplane power supply.

DC+ from the external power supply is connected to the Termination Assembly and is routed across the
assembly to the 12 terminals of the module’s P2 connector to distribute the total load current.

DC+ is switched through “diagnostic cut-off relays,” which isolate the module from the external power
supply when the module is not enabled (active) or when the module detects a solid state switch failure.

4.2.2 Protected Outputs

The CDM uses a combination of extensive on-line diagnostics and an internal “diagnostic cut-off relay”
to automatically protect against energized output failures. As shown in Figure 4–1, output energy flows
through “dual-switches” to the load. A solid state switch provides the normal output. A relay, controlled
by built-in diagnostics, supplies the second switch through a pair of normally open contacts. If any
dangerous failure is detected, the relay contacts are opened. This action de-energizes the output, ensuring
the output fails in a safe manner. Using this technique, CDM-protected outputs ensure that outputs fail
safe, even in the presence of faults.

4.2.3 Output Channel

All output channels are electrically identical. As shown in Figure 4–1, the Output Switch supplies 24/48
VDC to a field device when the channel is configured as an output. A channel control signal is supplied
from the processor. An output protection diode connects the switch to an I/O terminal.

Each output configured channel features a Soft-Fuse circuit that provides over-current protection. Should
a fault increase the channel load current to a level that would damage the circuit, the Output Switch turns
off. A “tripped” Soft-Fuse can be reset from an operator interface or by a local reset switch located in the
CDM bezel compartment.

An output circuit is optimized for normally energized usage and provides full self-diagnostic capability.
Diagnostics use a combination of pulse-testing, voltage/current measurement, and constant switching in
the 1oo2D architecture. Circuitry measures voltage at the input to the “diagnostic cut-off relay,” at the
Output Switch, and at the field terminals. Momentary pulse-off testing provides a dynamic signal that
allows detection of open-circuit, short-circuit, and diagnostic-circuit failures.

4.2.4 Input Channel

All input channels are electrically identical. An input circuit is optimized for normally energized sensor
inputs (input switch closed under normal operation). This circuit offers full self-diagnostic capability,
including field wiring faults when used with Safety-Related Switch Adapters (SRSAs) and the
PulseDiagTest parameter enabled.

July 2008 4-3

SDQLCDM-1r9 Circuit Description

The positive external power supply voltage input from an I/O field input is applied to an analog input
circuit. When the processor selects a group of channels to read, the output from the analog circuit is
routed to the input/output diagnostic read logic circuit for conversion into a digital logic signal for the
processor to read.

Full diagnostic coverage is obtained by a combination of test pulses that superimpose bipolar dynamic
signals onto the input. The analog circuit has a variable analog threshold that allows the CDM processor
to read the voltage at the input terminal. This combination of dynamic test pulses and analog monitoring
allows detection of electronic component failures, and short circuit (wiring) failures between the field
device and the input channel terminals or 24/48 VDC I/O power at the CDM termination assembly.

There are two types of SRSAs: a plug type and a wire type. See Figure 2–15. Eight-piece SRSA kits are
listed in Table 3–3. The plug type is for use with an SDM Rail Termination Assembly (see Figure 2–2),
for non-redundant systems, or with user-supplied Phoenix Contact blocks. The wire-type SRSA is
designed for use with a local SDM Termination Strip, a Marshalled Termination Assembly, or Fused
Marshalled Termination Assembly.
NOTE

Input diagnostics can only detect field wiring faults between the CDM
module and the point of SRSA installation. It is recommended that
SRSAs be installed as close as possible to the input device.

4.3 Pulse Test Channel Diagnostics

Pulse Diagnostic Test (PulseDiagTest) functionality is explained in the sections that follow.

4.3.1 CDM Output Channels

NOTE

CDM output channels must not be used with SRSAs.

CDM output channels with the PulseDiagTest soft list parameter set to Enabled runs pulse testing on
energized outputs only. The channel is turned off for approximately 200 µs so that the channel state can
be read back without the output voltage enabled. Pulse testing is run every 3.2 seconds on each channel
with PulseDiagTest enabled. The 3.2-second time interval is one diagnostic cycle for all pulse tested
channels. Figure 4–2 illustrates approximate timing of the pulses generated on a single channel every
diagnostic cycle. The CDM collects channel data during the pulse test. The data is then compared to
expected results to determine if there are any faults. Multiple channel pulses allow duplicate channel data
recording. The duplicate data is used to reduce the chance of detecting faults in harsh electrical
environments.

For de-energized output channels, there is no pulse testing. However, during the interval reserved for
diagnostic testing, the CDM measures the output voltage on each channel. For de-energized channels, the
voltage should be low, and the CDM can distinguish between a load and an open load condition.
Table 4–1 lists the open load thresholds in ohms for 24 and 48 VDC CDM models.

4.3.2 CDM Input Channels

CDM input channels configured with PulseDiagTest enabled must be wired with an SRSA in series with
the input switch or contact closure. The SRSA is a passive device designed to drop a fixed voltage (6
VDC for 24 VDC CDM, 12VDC for 48VDC CDM).

A CDM input is pulse tested with the same timing as an output channel. However, input channels are
pulsed on (energized). For every channel with PulseDiagTest enabled, the channel is pulsed with several
200 µS pulses every 3.2 seconds. Refer to Figure 4–3 for approximate times and voltages of the pulses
used. Multiple data sets are recorded and analyzed to generate fault information.

For de-energized inputs, the channel state pulses from approximately 0 VDC up to 24 VDC during each
test pulse. For inputs that are energized, the channel state (between the CDM and the SRSA) pulses from
approximately 18 VDC to 24 VDC for 24 VDC CDM models; 36 VDC to 48 VDC for 48 VDC CDM
models.

5.3 Maximum I/O Related Power Dissipation Versus Temperature

Table 5-3 lists the maximum I/O related power dissipation versus temperature. A calculation of the CDMs
power dissipation should be made to determine the allowable operating ambient temperature.

TEMPERATURE MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION (PD)

+30 ˚C 21 Watts
+35 ˚C 18 Watts
+45 ˚C 14 Watts
+60 ˚C 10 Watts

The following formula calculates the related I/O power dissipation in Watts:

Formula for I/O Related Power Dissipation

0.24(NIE + NOE) + 0.0284 IT2 + 0.248 IT + (1.046)∑ik2 = PD (Watts)

NIE = Number of energized inputs at a particular time

NOE = Number of energized outputs at a particular time
ik = Current load of output channel “k” in Amps at this instance of time (0 when not energized)
IT = ∑ik = Total output current from all output configured channels at this instance of time
∑ik2= (N1)(ik1)2 + (N2)(ik2)2 + .......... (Nn)(ikn)2

Where: N1 = The total number of output channels having the same load current ik1
N2 = The total number of output channels having the same load current ik2
Nn = The total number of remaining output channels having the same load current ikn

Example Calculation:

Given: 24 Inputs = 20 energized and 4 non-energized

8 Outputs = (2) @ 0.6A normally energized and (6) @ 0.15A normally energized
IT =∑ik = (2)(0.6) + (6)(0.15) = 1.2 + 0.9 = 2.1A

Substitute data in the formula and perform the indicated mathematical operations:

PD = 0.24(NIE + NOE) + 0.0284 IT2 + 0.248 IT + (1.046) ∑ik2

= 0.24(20 +8) + 0.0284(2.1)2 + 0.248 (2.1) + (1.046)[(2)(0.6)2 + (6)(0.15)2]
= 6.72 + 0.125 + 0.520 + 0.753 + 0.141
= 8.26 Watts

The allowable ambient temperature for the calculated 8.26 Watts is +60 ˚C, per Table 5–3.

Enclosure Requirements:

• The apparatus must be mounted within an enclosure or assembly to prevent personal injury resulting
from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure is typically user-supplied and, therefore, was not
examined as part of this Approval but shall comply with the requirements of this section.

• Accessibility - The system must be installed within the enclosure so that its circuits are accessible by
the use of a tool only. A part is accessible when either a.) the IEC articulate accessibility probe
applied in every possible position to the exterior or exposed surfaces, including the bottom; or b.) the
IEC rigid accessibility probe applied with a maximum force of 30 Newtons (6.75 lbs force) in every
possible position to the exterior or exposed surface, including the bottom, touches the part.

• Protection from Fire - If the enclosure is non-metallic, it shall have the proper flammability rating.

• Grounding - A metallic enclosure must have a protective grounding terminal and be marked as such.
All accessible non-current conductive parts must be bonded to the protective grounding terminal.

• General Construction - The equipment enclosure, or parts of the enclosure, required to be in place to
comply with the requirements for protection from electric shock, personal injury, protection of
internal parts and wiring and external cord and cable assembly strain relief shall comply with the
following tests for mechanical strength:

• Impact Tests - The equipment shall be held firmly against a rigid support and shall be subjected
to sets of three blows with 6.6 Joules (4.9 pound force-inch) from a spring-operated impact
hammer. The hammer shall be applied to any external part that when broken is likely to expose
live parts. A window of an indicating device shall withstand an impact of 0.085 Newton-meter
(0.753 pound force-inch) from a hollow steel impact sphere 50.8 mm (2 inches) in diameter and
an approximate mass of 113.4 grams (4 ounces).

• Pressure Tests - A force of 90 Newtons (20 pounds) shall be applied from a metal rod 12.7 mm
(0.50 inch) in diameter, the end of which is rounded. The force shall be applied for one minute to
any point on the overall enclosure except the bottom. The bottom shall sustain a force of 65
Newtons (15 pounds).

• Tip Stability Test - Equipment having a weight of 11 kilograms (24 pounds) or more shall not tip
over when placed at the center of an inclined plane that makes an angle of 10 degrees with the
