Chapter 1 Product Overview
DMS-3K is an advanced distributed alarm management system that accepts a variety of digital and
analog inputs and provides outputs to remote Annunciator displays and other devices used for Alarm
Management. The DMS-3K provides advanced communication outputs via serial and Ethernet ports
using various non-proprietary protocols. Each DMS-3K product can work as a stand-alone system
monitoring up to 128 digital inputs or multiple DMS-3K units can be networked together to form a
larger system with all alarms consolidated to a single master unit for common output and display.
Features and Functions
Inputs
Each DMS-3K card rack can accommodate up to 128 digital contact inputs or 32 analog inputs (or
combinations of both digital and analog). In addition, there are up to 64 control inputs which can be
assigned as functions to test, acknowledge, reset the lamp displays or inhibit specific inputs. Up to 16
card racks can be combined to form a system with maximum capacity of 2,048 digital inputs or 512
analog inputs (or combinations of both).
Outputs
Each DMS-3K card rack can accommodate up to 240 outputs which can consist of relay contacts or
solid state outputs. The outputs can be used to drive a remote Annunciator display, retransmit an
alarm input or group of inputs, and connect to a horn or other device.
Annunciator Logic
The DMS-3K system has logic to assign how an input or group of inputs drives an output. This is
used to assign an input or group of inputs to an Annunciator window, retransmit relay, alarm horn,
common alarm relay etc. The logic can be used with AND / OR functions to group multiple inputs to a
single output. In addition, you can apply ‘Voting Logic’ which will require scenarios like 2 of 3 or 3 of 4
inputs in alarm before activating an output. The Logic is also used to assign the control pushbuttons
(Test, Acknowledge, Reset, etc) to specific groups of inputs. All logic is confined to I/O contained in a
single Logic Card Rack.
Sequence of Events Recording (SER)
The DMS-3K provides timestamping of alarms to the millisecond for quick determination of root cause
and verification that control systems responded in an appropriate manner. Up to 40,000 events per
Logic Card Rack are stored in non-volatile RAM.
Power Supply Options
The DMS-3K logic card rack has a built in power supply regulator for 24VDC and 48VDC power
inputs. These regulators can provide a non-isolated 24 VDC or 48 VDC field contact voltage for
wetting the ‘dry’ field contact inputs. The regulators can also connect to an isolated external field
contact voltage supply of 24, 48 or 125 VDC for distribution to field inputs. Other input power options
(125VDC, 120/240VAC) are available through external power supplies which can be provided in a
redundant fashion, or different voltages for the Primary Power and Back Up Power.

2
Time Synchronization
The DMS-3K can be synchronized externally via IRIG-B and NTP time formats. This is used for
applying a time stamp to the digital and analog inputs synchronized to real time via GPS
synchronized time clocks.
Communications
Each DMS-3K unit has a built-in RS-232/485 Serial Port (DB9) and RJ45 Ethernet Port. The ports
can be used to retransmit the alarm status to other devices using Modbus, DNP or ASCII Protocols.
In addition, the multi-user Ethernet port can be used for time sync, networking multiple card racks
together to form a system and connect to a web browser for configuration and display of alarms and
events.
System Configuration
The DMS-3K System is configured using a WEB Browser connected to the CPU Ethernet Port. The
PC with WEB Browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc) can be connected directly to the DMS-
3K CPU or via the LAN where the DMS-3K is installed. The DMS-3K I/O Modules have switches or
jumpers for some configuration items. The configuration is flexible so that any single input or group of
inputs can operate any number of outputs configured as lamp outputs (for remote Annunciator
Display), Alarm Relay Outputs, Horn Outputs, etc. In addition, inputs can be retransmitted using
Modbus and DNP protocols.
Alarm Display and Notification
The DMS-3K WEB Browser will display the alarms as they occur graphically using an ‘Annunciator
style’ display and in list format showing the alarm details and timestamp. The DMS can also generate
an email for selected alarms.

DMS 3K System Components
The DMS-3K System Components consist of:
•Logic Card Racks – Holds I/O modules, CPU and Power Supply
•Power Supplies – Internal and external power supply combinations
•CPU – Used for system configuration, Annunciator Logic, communications
•I/O Modules – Modules that accept digital and analog inputs and provide solid state and
relay contact outputs
•Annunciator Displays – Remote mounted displays that connect to logic card racks
The quantity of card racks, modules and displays is configurable to the application and defined in the
model number.

Logic Card Racks
The DMS-3K I/O is housed in a 3U card rack (type LBM or LBW) that can accept up to 10 I/O
modules or a 6U card rack (type LB2M or LB2W) that can accept 23 I/O Modules. Each Card Rack
has it’s own CPU and Power Supply.
LOGIC BOX: Type LBM OR LBMW
This is a standard 19"- 3U single euro-crate which will house the CPU and REG units plus 10
usable slots for input/output modules. The mounting angles are easily moveable to give front
or rear mounting.

Power Supply Regulators
Power Supply Regulators are used for direct power inputs of 24 or 48VDC. In systems with
120/240VAC and 125VDC Power Input, an external power supply is required to provide a 24 VDC
output to the Power Supply Regulator. The Power Supply Regulators may be used to provide an
internal Field Contact Voltage of 24 or 48 VDC or accept an external isolated customer supplied field
contact voltage of 24, 48 or 125 VDC. The field contact voltage is bussed to several terminals for
connection to the field inputs. The Power Supply Regulator also provides an internal horn relay which
is driven from a digital output (8 I/O or 16 O Module) assigned as a horn output. In systems with
external Annunciator Displays, the Power Supply Regulator provides a 24V Supply for the
Annunciator Lamps (LED’s). The Power Supply Regulators may have a suffix of A depending on the
version. Ex. REG-90A
The different types of Power Supply Regulators are shown below:
REGULATOR Type REG-90 and REG-91
This unit is used in 3U logic boxes where the system supply is 24V DC.
It provides the 5V supply necessary for the 10 usable slots plus the CPU, which equates to 128
inputs and 160 outputs maximum.
An auxiliary horn relay is mounted within.
REG-90 (STANDARD) Intended for use where the initiating contacts are being powered from
the 24 V supply voltage.
REG-91 (ISOLATED) Intended for use where the initiating contacts are being powered from a
supply other than the system supply. This isolated supply would be connected to "+VIN" and
“OV IN” terminals.
All connections to the above units are by screw type terminals.
REGULATOR Type REG-92 and REG-93
This unit is used in 6U logic boxes where the system supply is 24V DC.
It provides the 5V supply necessary for the 23 usable slots plus the CPU which equates to 128
inputs and 240 outputs including auxiliary cards to box capacity. Otherwise they are generally
as per REG-90/91.
REG-92 -(STANDARD)
REG-93 -(ISOLATED)
