Binary Output 23BA20
Application, characteristics and technical data have
to be taken from the hardware data sheet:
23BA20

1 KGT 150 403

Operation
The 23BA20 board has sixteen output relays. Two
groups of eight contacts have the same common return. This allows to split the output channels only to
two different process voltage sources.

Processing function
The I/O micro controller (EAP Ein- Ausgabe-Prozessor / Input- output processor) activates any output
forced by the VAP of CMU (CMU = communication
unit) by a command output request. The EAP controls the time duration of a pulse output by the loaded
pulse length time value.

Output monitoring and supervision

Any output is checked and monitored by the EAP by
different tests and supervision functions:
- the output pattern is read back before the output
is activated
- the 24 V DC from backplane bus to switch the
output relays is supervised during an active output
- the pulse duration is controlled by the EAP
- any detected error is indicated by LEDs.

One or two pole outputs

Fig. 2: to Fig. 4: show the different principle wirings for one or two pole output channels.
See the 23BA22 Connections and Settings for the
wiring if (1 out of n) check is requested.

Doc.No.: 1KGT 150 436 V000 1

Settings
There are no settings required and possible on the
23BA20 board.

Signalling
The board monitors and checks its functionality as
well as the dialog via the peripheral bus. Detected errors are indicated and/or transmitted by the board:
- by the red LED ST on the front plate
- by the red LED PST on the front plate
- by diagnostic messages

LED ST
The ST LED indicates board errors or peripheral
bus errors.
The ST-LED indicates:
- board runs initialization procedure
- board is doing a cold- or warm start
- board has detected a memory error (RAM or
EPROM)
- micro controller faulty
- no dialog via the peripheral bus for at least 2
minutes. The board is not polled by the PBP of
CMU.

LED PST
The LED indicates an error at command output:
- 24 V DC for the output relays failed during command output
- Time out PBP during active output. Any active
output is stopped (switched off).

LED CO
At least one output relay is switched on. The CO
LED is direct connected to the 24 V DC. CO is ON for
the time an output is active (pulse or persistent).
