3. Application
3.1. Module Configuration
There is no configuration required to the physical module. All configurable characteristics of the
module are performed using tools on the EWS and become part of the application or system.ini file
that is loaded into the TMR Processor. The TMR Processor automatically configures the module after
applications are downloaded and during Active/Standby changeover.
The IEC1131 TOOLSET provides the main interface to configure the module. Details of the
configuration tools and configuration sequence are provided in PD-8082B Trusted
TM Toolset Suite.
There are three procedures necessary to configure the module. These are:
1. Define the necessary I/O variables for the field data and module status data using the
Dictionary Editor of the IEC1131 TOOLSET.
2. Create an I/O module definition in the I/O Connection Editor for each I/O module. The I/O
module definition defines physical information, e.g. Chassis and Slot location, and allows
variables to be connected to the I/O channels of the module.
3. Using the Trusted TM System Configuration Manager, define custom LED indicator modes,
per-channel default or fail-safe states, and other module settings.
3.2. T8444 Complex Equipment Definition
The T8444 I/O Complex Equipment Definition includes 8 I/O boards, referenced numerically
by Rack number. There are two OEM parameters included in the first rack (DO Board).
These OEM parameters define the primary module position; declaring the module’s chassis
and slot location. There is no need to define the secondary module position within the
IEC1131 TOOLSET. Where systems may be required to start-up with modules in the
secondary position as the active module, e.g. primary module is not installed when
application is started, the secondary module’s position should be declared in the module
definition of the System Configuration Manager.
