The binary input module 23BE23 provides 16 galvanic isolated I16
I16
inputs for up to 16 binary process signals. Scanning and pro-
cessing of the inputs are executed with the high time resolution
of 1 ms. The allocation of an input signal to the processing func-
tions can be done according to the rules of configuration. Figure 1: Block diagram 23BE23

The module 23BE23 is able to process the following types of

signals or a combination of them: Characteristics
– 16 single point information with time stamp (SPI)
– 8 double point information with time stamp (DPI) Binary inputs
– 2 digital measured values each with 8 bit (DMI8)
– 1 digital measured value with 16 bit (DMI16) The inputs are galvanic isolated by means of optical couplers.
– 16 integrated totals (max. 120 Hz) (ITI) 8 inputs are building a group with a common return. The input
– 2 step position information each with 8 bit (STI) circuit is designed to keep the input current constant by using
– 2 bitstring input each with 8 bit (BSI8) current regulative diodes.
– 1 bitstring input with 16 bit (BSI16)
– or combinations of this signal types The module has 16 LEDs to indicate the signal state at the inputs.
The LEDs follow direct the input signal.
The module allows process voltages from 24 to 60 V DC. LED
signaling is available for all inputs. The module has a common The maximum permissible frequency for counter pulses is 120
return per 8 inputs. Hz.

Power supply input

The required power for the module is supplied via the RTU560
backplane.
I/O controller (IOC)

The micro-controller on the module processes all time critical

tasks of the parameterized processing functions. Moreover it
carries out the interactive communication with the RTU I/O bus.
All configuration data and processing parameters are loaded by
the communication unit via the RTU I/O bus.

The module is equipped with a serial interface to the RTU560 I/

O bus on the backplane.

The binary input unit can execute the following processing

functions for the different types of signals:
– Digital filtering to suppress contact bounce
– Suppression of oscillating signals caused by the process
– Validity check and suppression of intermediate input states
for double indications
– Consistancy check for all channels allocated to digital mea-
sured values or step position information
– Summation of increment pulses to form integrated totals in
registers of 31 bit resolution
– Copying of integrated totals values into freezing registers for
data conservation

The module provides a data buffer for temporally storing of up

to 50 event messages including time stamps. The events are
stored in chronological order designated for transmission to the
communication unit (CMU).

During initialization and operation the module carries out a num-

ber of tests. If a fault occurs it is reported to the communication
unit. All fault conditions impairing the function of the module are
displayed as common fault signal by a red LED. A failure of the
module is detected by the communication unit.
