6 Programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv Introduction This is the user s manual for Moore Industries STA (TPRG): Programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv, and Potentiometer Safety Trip Alarm. The Moore Industries Safety Trip Alarm (STA) is designed and manufactured to provide a high level of availability for safety critical applications and for use as a component part of a safety instrumented system. This manual contains all of the information needed to confi gure, install, operate and maintain this product. When the STA is used in a SIL rated safety application (as defi ned by IEC 61508), the Safety Instrumented Systems section of this manual must be read and followed in order for the STA to meet it s IEC certifi cation requirements. About this Manual Wherever you see a Note, Caution or WARNING pay particular attention. WARNING - Hazardous procedure or condition that could injure the operator. Caution - Hazardous procedure or condition that could damage or destroy the unit. Note - Information that is helpful for a procedure, condition, or operation of the unit. Model and Serial Numbers Moore Industries uses a system of model and serial numbers to keep track of all of the information on every unit it sells and services. If a problem occurs with your STA, check for a tag affi xed to the unit listing these numbers. Supply the Customer Support representative with this information when calling. STA escription Moore Industries STA (TPRG) is a programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv and Potentiometer safety trip alarm. The STA monitors a process variable and provides two fully user-confi gurable contact closure outputs that can be individually programmed to trip whenever the input falls outside a user-set, high or low trip point. It also has one fault alarm output which is triggered by a self-diagnosed failure of the input or the STA itself. The STA is typically used to activate a warning light, bell or buzzer; or to initiate a system shutdown. Thus, the instrument acts as a simple, but highly reliable and effective means of monitoring and safe-guarding a process. The STA is confi gured using front panel push buttons and a confi guration can also be saved and downloaded using the PC transfer utility. A large 5-digit display shows menu prompts during push button confi guration and process variable and status messages during normal operation. Inputs The STA (TPRG) supports RT, T/C, mv, Potentiometer and Ohms as confi gurable inputs. These inputs can be trimmed and scaled, refer to the Confi guring Inputs section of this manual for additional information. Alarms The STA has three (-3PRG) contact closure alarms. One relay is factory confi gured as a Fault alarm and the remaining two relays are user-confi gurable Trip alarms. A dual color LE (Red/Green) is provided with each alarm to indicate its condition. The fault alarm trips on a self-diagnosed failure within the STA or on any of its inputs. This alarm is latching and has to be reset by the user. Only user confi guration faults will clear automatically once the confi guration is valid. Input faults can be cleared by the RESET FALT menu, and unit faults can only be cleared by power cycling the unit. For more information refer to the iagnostics and Fault Alarm section. The Trip alarms are confi gurable for high or low trip with an adjustable dead band. These alarms can be latching or non-latching. Latched alarms are reset through the Manual Reset (MR) terminals. The relay outputs have a 3A@250Vac or 3A@30Vdc, 50/60Hz non-inductive contact rating. The contact arrangement is SPT. All outputs are fail safe and will de-energize to trip (ET) with NO & NC relay contacts. Refer to the Alarm Terminology and Confi guring the Alarms sections of this manual for additional information. 6 The Interface Solution Experts

7 Programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv Options Analog Output (-AO) The Analog Output can be confi gured to provide a voltage (0-10V) or current (0-20mA) output. The current output can be sink or source. Refer to the Confi guring the Analog Output section of this manual for additional information. Note: The Analog Output is not part of the safety path in the STA. Figure 2.

STA Application Examples The following are examples of typical STA confi gurations. Figure 1. High Integrity example This confi guration (Figure 2) offers higher system availability. The Fault alarm is wired separately to inform the safety system that there is a fault alarm and that this component s ability to carry out its portion of Safety Instrumented Function cannot be performed. This confi guration can be used in applications where it is safe to keep the process running for a short time while a defective instrument is repaired. The output process trip relays are connected 1oo2 to trip providing security against a single relay failure, however this confi guration will NOT trip if an STA fault is diagnosed. REAY INPT TRIP 1 TRIP 2 FALT COM EG C P OWN ECT Process Trip 1 Process Trip 2 NC1 CM1 NO1 NC2 CM2 NO2 Final Element This type of confi guration must be used with care in a safety system. The end user must determine how long the process is allowed to continue after a STA fault is detected and ensure that the unit can be repaired or replaced within this time. TAG STA SAFETY TRIP ALARM Fault Alarm NC3 CM3 NO3 This confi guration (Figure 1) offers the highest trip integrity. Since all three relays are wired in series, any trip alarm or STA fault will trip the fi nal element or logic solver. This provides security against one process relay failure and any unit failures. However this confi guration is vulnerable to spurious trips as STA safe failures will also trip the fi nal element. The Interface Solution Experts 7

8 Programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv Alarm Terminology Before setting up the STA, or incorporating the unit in your application, Moore Industries suggests that all users take a few moments to become familiar with some of the terms associated with the use of process instrumentation alarms. Figure 3 illustrates the way the STA alarms operate. The Trip Point is the process input level at which the user wants an alarm relay to change state, typically going into an alarm condition, or tripping. In the STA, the user sets the trip point for each installed relay. High/Low Alarms; High Alarms trip when the process input goes above the trip point. Low Alarms trip when the process input drops below the trip point. Each of the STA relay outputs can be set by the user to function independently as either high or low alarms. Latching and Non-latching Alarms; once tripped, a latching alarm remains in an alarm state until the input returns to a non-alarm level AN is manually reset. Non-latching alarms return to a non-alarm state whenever the process input returns to the Reset Point. The STA relays can be set by the user to function as either latching or non-latching. Figure 3. How Alarms Work with the Process Input HIGH ALARM TRIP POINT RESET RESET LOW ALARM TRIP POINT TIME EABAN IN ALARM IN NON-ALARM EABAN The Reset Point is the process input level at which the user wants an alarm relay to change state, typically going from alarm to non-alarm. The reset point is not necessarily the same as the trip point, because most applications call for a buffer zone or dead band around the trip point to allow for minute fl uctuations in the process input. In the STA, the reset point is determined by the dead band setting. Latching STA alarms will not clear unless the reset point has been reached or passed AN the manual reset contacts have been shorted. The ead band is the range in which an alarm remains tripped even after the process input has returned to or passed the trip point. ead band is not required. When it is not incorporated into a non-alarm application, the trip point and reset point are the same. The dead band of the STA is set by the user. Failsafe Alarms are de-energized when tripped, energized when the process input is at a non-alarm level. Non-failsafe alarms are energized whenever tripped, de-energized when the process input is at a non-alarm level. The relays in the STA are failsafe only. Normal is the term used to describe the shelf-state of relay contacts. The contacts of a Normally Open relay are open (infi nite resistance) when the relay is not energized. The contacts of a Normally Closed relay are open when the relay is energized (closed when not energized). NOTE: Sometimes a non-alarm input level is referred to as being in a normal condition. This practice is intentionally avoided in this manual. o not confuse the term normal, as in Normally Open or Normally Closed, with a non-alarm input condition. In this manual, normal is an exclusive reference to the shelf state or quiescent state of an alarm s relay contacts, whether open or closed. 8 The Interface Solution Experts

9 iagnostics & Fault Alarms The STA has a high level of diagnostic capability to continually monitor itself and its input. This section outlines these diagnostics and functionality of the alarms. For a full list of diagnostic messages and corrective actions please refer to Table 7. Internal diagnostics On power up the unit runs through a thorough diagnostic test (RAM and ROM TEST messages are displayed) and an initialization process (SYS INIT is displayed) before the fault alarm is cleared. If any failure is found during power up, the fault alarm will not be cleared and an error message will be displayed. Once in operation, the unit continues diagnostic tests in the background and will set the fault alarm on any failure. All internal diagnostic faults are latched on the fault alarm relay. The fault alarm must be cleared by power cycling the unit. If a fault is still present on power up then please contact Customer Service for further assistance. Note: The trip alarms are independent from the fault alarms and will be unaffected by the fault alarms (however they may be affected by the specifi c failure in the unit). STA Programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv Input diagnostics The STA has extensive hardware diagnostics of the input to detect broken wire and saturation. It also detects out of range and linearization errors. Broken wire is automatically set on the STA and enables the system to distinguish between a low trip condition (which sets the trip alarm) and a failed transmitter or open input (which sets the fault alarm). All input faults are latched on the fault alarm relay. The fault alarm can be cleared by fi rst clearing the input failure and then using the confi guration menus to reset faults. If the input error is not cleared when resetting the fault alarm, the error condition will immediately be re-applied and will not cause the relay to glitch. Note: The trip alarms are independent from the fault alarm and will be unaffected by the fault alarm. Therefore if the trip alarm has already been activated it will remain so but will NOT be activated by a broken wire or input saturation error. For broken wire detection, this only applies if the input is immediately broken. If there is degradation of sensor wires, false readings could occur before the wire breaks and the trip alarm could be activated before the fault alarm. (Slow degradation is characterized by events that occur over a span of a second or so) Configuration diagnostics On power up the stored confi guration is validated. If it is invalid then the fault alarm will be set. To clear the alarm, use the menu system, to reset to the factory confi guration (FCTRY selection in the options menu), then confi gure as appropriate for the application. Before saving a new confi guration to the unit, it will be checked for validity. If it is invalid, the fault alarm will be set. Once the confi guration is corrected, the fault alarm will be cleared.

15 Security Settings The password security function of the STA is controlled by a single jumper inside the top of the unit housing. You will need to remove the top cover in order to access the jumper. The password jumper setting will default to Password Required (Pins 1 and 2). The default security password is 1. This is valid until the password is changed to another value. Password Setting The STA can operate in one of three password modes. Full Access (Security Jumper set to Pins 2 and 3) Complete access to the STA confi guration menu is permitted with no password required for any read or write operations. STA Programmable RT, T/C, Ohms, mv Password Required (Security Jumper set to Pins 1 and 2) A one to four-digit access code is required to gain access to the STA confi guration menu. If the correct code is entered, full read and write operation is permitted. If an incorrect code is entered, WRONG PASW will appear for 3 seconds, and return user to View menu, with read-only access to the View menu (see Figure 8). No Access (Security Jumper removed) The user is limited to read-only access to the View menu. SYS LOCK will appear if user attempts to enter Main menu by entering. Enter a second time to return to View Menu. Note: These security settings are only applicable to access via the front panel pushbuttons. Security can be bypassed using the Transfer tility Software.
