Introduction
SC3015 –Thirty-Two-Channel Single Ended Digital Input Card
The SC3015/ Thirty-Two Channel Single Ended Digital Input Card provides two sinking
voltage options. The SC3015/00 is used with 120 VDC digital inputs. The SC3015/02
card is used with 48 VDC digital inputs. Immunity to noise is enhanced with a single pole
low pass filter. Further filtering (e.g. removing contact bounce effects of relays) can be
performed in software using the Bool Hold Open Hold Closed (HOHC) object.
Analog to digital conversion is performed by a 16-bit switched capacitor successive
approximation A/D converter. A precision voltage source provides a self-test function for
the card’s amplifiers and A/D converter and can be used to verify accuracy in user
application logic. No field adjustments are necessary after the initial factory setup.
I/O bus checking diagnostics, card address tests, and configuration tests are performed
each time the controller accesses the card. All data and control transfers are performed
twice, once using the actual data and then using the inverted data. Both versions of the
data are compared to verify that all I/O bus data bits are functioning properly. The
configuration code from the card is compared to the I/O configuration to check that the
correct card is installed in the rack. I/O Bus slot address and control signal contention
tests also are performed. Any fault detected sets status bits in an error detection variable
returned to the user application program.
An indicator LED, located near the top of the front panel, indicates the overall health
status of the card. If this LED is on, the card is functioning normally; if it is off, the card
has detected an error or is offline. If this LED is on, but the card is shown in red on the
SC3015

5
NetArrays IOC screen and cannot be enabled, this indicates an error in the cards
calibration data.
Note: The SC3015 cards are designed to function with user supplied field termination
and user supplied field wiring/cabling. Therefore it does not support Cable Detect Error
reporting.

NetArrays Configuration
Card Properties
Mode
The only mode available for this card is DC Sinking.
Proof Testing
This option must be Disabled!
Float Cal High 00
The Cal High 00 is a floating-point voltage equal to 9.0 volts (±0.09V). It is derived from a fixed
calibration voltage source on the card. This input can be used to test the card’s calibration and
performance. NetArrays assigns a Tag to this input when the card is added to the I/O
configuration. Reassign this Tag as required to access this calibration voltage in the project
program.

10
Float Cal High 01
The Cal High 01 is a floating-point voltage equal to 9.0 volts (±0.09V). It is derived from a fixed
calibration voltage source on the card. This input can be used to test the card’s calibration and
performance. NetArrays assigns a Tag to this input when the card is added to the I/O
configuration. Reassign this Tag as required to access this calibration voltage in the project
program.
Float Cal High 02
The Cal High 02 is a floating-point voltage equal to 9.0 volts (±0.09V). It is derived from a fixed
calibration voltage source on the card. This input can be used to test the card’s calibration and
performance. NetArrays assigns a Tag to this input when the card is added to the I/O
configuration. Reassign this Tag as required to access this calibration voltage in the project
program.
Integer Error Detection
The Error Detection input is an Int Variable that can be used to detect an I/O card failure.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.
A Card Timeout Error (Bit 0) will set the Error Latch bit (Bit14), which will remain set until this bit is
cleared to zero by an operator. While the Error Latch is set, the card will be offline and the target
node will not attempt to communicate with it. Note that most cards do not use all the status bits
shown. Any unused bits will always equal zero.

Bit 14 Card Error Latch
This status bit indicates that a Card Timeout Error occurred on the I/O card, and that it
has been taken offline. The card will not be initialized or placed online until this bit is
cleared in the project program or operator intervention.
If this bit is set, it must be cleared to return the card to operation. The correct way to
clear this bit is to select the card’s icon in the I/O configuration Form while NetArrays is
operating in Debug mode and answer “Yes” to the Enable prompt. See I/O Card Status
and Control. (It is also possible to change the value of this variable by forcing an Integer
Bit Variable object, with Bit 14 selected in the object's properties, to zero. Do not clear
the entire Error Detection Integer Variable to zero.)
Bit 10 Fault Test Error
PLD calibration errors are annunciated through this bit.
Bit 9 Backplane Bus Data Error
This status bit indicates that a data error was detected in a data or command transfer to
or from an I/O card.
Bit 8 Data Invalid
This status bit indicates that the I/O card is not ready to send valid data.
Bit 7 Card ID Does Not Match I/O Configuration
This bit indicates that the ID code read from the I/O card does not match the card type
specified in the NetArrays I/O configuration.
Bit 6 Card Specific Error
This bit indicates a PLD hardware timeout error for digital input card.
Bit 3 Cal High

11
This bit indicates that calibrated voltage sources Float Cal High 00 or Float Cal High 01
are outside tolerance.
Bit 2 Cal Low
This bit indicates that ground voltages Float Cal Low 00 or Float Cal Low 01 are outside
tolerance.
Bit 1 Channel Failure
This bit indicates that the card has a failure on one or more of its channels. Examine the
channel specific error status word to isolate the failed channel(s).
Bit 0 Card Timeout Error
This bit indicates that there was no response from the I/O card. The card is not returning
a ready test signal, is offline, or has been removed from the chassis. This bit sets the
Card Error Latch (Bit 14).
Integer Channel Error Status 00
The Channel Error Status 00 is an Int Variable that returns fault indications for channels 0 through
15. For the SC3015 this register is always zero.
Integer Channel Error Status 01
The channel Error Status 01 is an Int Variable that returns fault indications for channels 16
through 31. For the SC3015 this register is always zero.
Integer Line Short Status 00
The Line Short Status 00 returns the results of the input line short tests on channels 0 through 15.
For the SC3015 this register is always zero.
Integer Line Short Status 01
The Line Short Status 01 returns the results of the input line short tests on channels 16 through
31. For the SC3015 this register is always zero.
Integer SOE 00
Input channels 15 through 0 on the SOE card are represented in this Int Variable as shown
below. This input value is accessed by the Int Variable object with the same Tag. Reconfigure
the Tag as required to match the Module Form Int Value object that is used to monitor the card's
SOE input in RTP3000S, RTP3000D, RTP3000T and RTP3000Q SIS. The RTP3000M does not
provide SOE.

12
Integer SOE 01
Input channels 31 through 16 on the SOE card are represented in this Int Variable as shown
below. This input value is accessed by the Int Variable object with the same Tag. Reconfigure
the Tag as required to match the Module Form Int Value object that is used to monitor the card's
SOE input in RTP3000S, RTP3000D, RTP3000T and RTP3000Q SIS. The RTP3000M does not
provide SOE.

13
I/O Channel Properties
Channel
Each input channel can be enabled (Bool), or disabled (Disabled). You can disable any unused
channel to avoid scanning unconnected inputs and to free up the assigned Tag.
I/O Tag
Each input point value is accessed by the Bool Variable object. NetArrays assigns a Tag to each
input channel when the card is added to the I/O configuration. Reconfigure the I/O Tag as
required to match the Module Form Bool Variable object that is used to access the channel.
Note! All unused unterminated I/O points must be disabled in IO Configuration.

Compliance with CE Mark
This section describes how to install and operate RTP equipment for use in the European Union
(EU) to comply with the requirements of the CE Mark and its referenced standards. The
procedures in this section apply also to other environments where provisions of the EU’s EMC
and Low Voltage Directives are either required or desirable.
RTP Corporation has successfully tested and reviewed its products to the stringent requirements
of the European Union’s EMC Directives (2004/108/EC) and Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC).
In order for the equipment to meet the requirements of these directives, the equipment
must be installed and operated in accordance with these instructions.
These tests and reviews are in accordance to EN 61131-2:2007 as listed in the next section.
Information on the tests performed and the standards involved is available from RTP Corporation.
To comply with the requirements of the CE Mark and its referenced standards, the system
integrator, installer, and end user must store, integrate, install, and operate this equipment in
accordance with the following guidelines.
1. Compliance with all product specific instructions (including but not limited to storage
instructions, installation instructions, operating instructions, maintenance instructions,
disposal instructions, and specifications) is required.
2. RTP equipment is rated for use in Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) II and
Pollution Degree 2 environments in accordance with standard IEC 664.
3. To assure that an Operator is not exposed to electrical hazards, all equipment capable of
electrical hazards must be housed in a grounded enclosure (equipment cabinet/rack) that
limits access to the equipment only to Service Personnel. Limited access may include
enclosure doors and side panels, which are locked or require a tool to open. To assure
compliance with the EMC requirements, the equipment must be housed in an enclosure
(equipment cabinet/rack) that provides EMC shielding. Compliance testing was
performed in a shielded equipment rack provided by Hoffman Concept® Wall Mounted
Enclosure model number CSD242420. To assure compliance, the equipment must be
installed in this style cabinet, or one with similar or greater RF attenuation characteristics.
The cabinet should be outfitted with continuous copper finger gasketing and copper foil
along all seams and joints.
4. The Service Personnel must be trained to operate the equipment and must be aware of
the potential of electrical hazards of the equipment and of the field I/O signals connected
to the equipment.
5. Hazardous voltage warning labels must be applied to the enclosure doors adjacent to the
locking mechanisms to warn the Service Personnel that hazardous voltages are
contained within the enclosure, if modules carrying 120 V and above are used.
6. Hazardous voltage warning labels also must be applied to the termination modules
(which carry 120 V and above), adjacent to the external connectors, to warn the Service
Personnel that hazardous voltages are present at the module's terminal blocks.
7. To assure compliance with the EMC requirements, the equipment must have all
communications, power, and field signal cabling exiting the enclosure enclosed in metal
conduits or shielded wireways. These conduits must provide EMI/RFI shielding and must
be terminated at the enclosure shell. There must be no uncovered openings in the
cabinet. Connections between the cabinet and conduit must be made with conduit
connectors making good (low impedance) electrical contact to the enclosure. Input
mains power to the enclosure and mains power fed to switching digital output I/O cards
and modules must be filtered by AC mains filters with attenuation characteristics of

15
Corcom VR series filters or with similar filters with equal or greater attenuation
characteristics.
8. DC input mains power to the enclosure and mains power must be filtered by a DC mains
filters with attenuation characteristics of Corcom 6EH1 series filters or with similar filters
with equal or greater attenuation characteristics.
9. Insulation strip length of 0.26 inches (6.5 mm) is required on all field wirings to the I/O
card termination modules.
10. The disposal of any electronic products must be in accordance with local regulations (e.g.
Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical
and electronic equipment). Some RTP Corporation products contain materials that may
be detrimental to the environment. These materials may include, but are not limited to
lead (in solder) and lithium (in batteries).
11. Prior to storage or shipping, the equipment must be packaged in accordance with the
following guidelines:
●Inventory all items and inspect all components for damage.
●Verify that all fasteners are properly tightened and that the chassis I/O module
retaining bar is properly installed.
●Wrap the chassis assembly in plastic bubble wrap.
●Select a suitable shipping box that provides at least 1½ inches of space between the
equipment and all sides of the box. This space shall be tightly packed with packing
peanuts or bubble wrap to protect the equipment during storage or shipping.
●Close and secure the box with suitable packing tape.
●Do not stack boxes more than three high. Store the boxes in a protected, dry
environment. Do not expose the boxes to rain or environmental conditions beyond
the ranges specified for the equipment in this document.
