3.4.5 Discrete Input Source Module
A schematic representation of the field wiring connections to the input circuit of the Discrete Input
Source module displays in Figure 3-11.
The Discrete Input Source module is designed to operate only with non-powered discrete devices,
such as “dry” relay contacts or isolated solid-state switches. Use of the module with powered
devices may cause improper operation or damage.
The Discrete Input Source module operates by providing a voltage across terminals B and C that is
derived from internal voltage source V
s
. When a field device, such as a set of relay contacts, is connected
across terminals B and C, the closing of the contacts completes a circuit, which causes a flow of current
between V
s
and ground at terminal C. This current flow is sensed by the DI module, which signals the
ROC electronics that the relay contacts have closed. When the contacts open, current flow is interrupted
and the DI module signals the ROC electronics that the relay contacts have opened.
A 10-ohms scaling resistor (R1) is supplied by the factory and accommodates a source voltage (V
s
) of
11 to 30 volts dc. The source voltage is the input voltage to the ROC. However, it is desirable to
optimize the value of R1 to reduce the current drain from the source or reduce the heat generated in
the module due to high source voltage. The formula for determining the value of R1 is given in
Figure 3-11. For optimum efficiency, R1 should be scaled for a loop current (I) of 3 milliamps.
