Introduction
The 12-Channel Relay Output Cards provide switching control of 12 field signals. You can order
the cards in one of three output voltage configurations, in which all 12 channels will have the
same configuration. The following shows the available configurations and their model numbers:
3130 12-Channel 24 VDC Relay Output
3131 12-Channel 120 VAC Relay Output
3133 12-Channel 240 VAC Relay Output
DC voltages up to 30 Volts or AC voltages up to 250 Volts at 2 Amperes can be switched by the
output channels. All outputs are isolated from the RTP chassis ground. Individual channel power
and ground may be common or isolated, depending on the termination module.
Each output channel on the card consists of two relays with normally open contacts connected in
series for redundancy. Both relays must be activated to power the field load. No single fault can
result in an output being stuck in the closed position. Opto-couplers measure the condition of
each relay and provide feedback to status registers, which report the position of each relay
contact to the operating program for fault detection. Note that this readback of the relays is valid
only if the channel output is connected to a load and a power source.
The relay card contains two PLDs, a “normal” PLD and an “inverse” PLD. One PLD controls the
drivers that activate the “A” relays; the other PLD controls the drivers that activate the “B” relays.
Both PLDs must agree before the relays can be activated. All addressing, output data, status,
and command transfers between the card and Chassis Processor are performed twice, with all

5
the data bits in the second transfer inverted. Both PLDs receive and process both transfers. The
two transfers must match exactly, and both PLDs must agree on the results, before the PLDs
accept the data or command.
The card also includes an onboard temperature sensor. Watchdog timers on the card can open
all of the output channels in the event backplane communication errors persist.
A 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.

Cabling
Adhere to the specified insulation strip length of 0.26 inches (6.5 mm) when you connect field
wiring to the terminal modules; excessive insulation strip lengths causes an electrical hazard. Do
not exceed the specified torque when you secure the wires into the terminal module; maximum
torque is 2.2 inch-pounds (0.25 N-m).
Standard cables to termination modules are minimum 5 feet in length.
You must disable (offline) an I/O card before you can hot-swap it. After you replace an I/O card,
you must enable it to return it to operation. It must be also disabled (offline), if making online
changes and removing it from a redundant configuration. While NetArrays is operating in Debug
mode, use the I/O Configuration Form to disable or enable I/O cards. To hot swap an I/O card,
first display the card’s icon in the I/O Configuration Form. If the I/O card’s icon is red, you can
remove it. If the I/O card’s icon is yellow or green, select the icon and disable it before you
remove the card. After you replace the I/O card, select the card’s icon and re-enable it. The
color of the icon changes to green to indicate the card is online.
Warning! Dangerous high voltages may be present at the cards’ terminal blocks during
normal operation. When you service these cards, avoid contact with exposed voltages
on the card while you connect the field cabling. The field cabling terminal block
connectors also may have high voltages when disconnected from the card.
Warning! Never remove the card from the chassis with the termination cables
connected and the field power applied. Always disconnect the field power and cables
before removing the card from the chassis. Always insert the card into the chassis with
the cables and field power disconnected.

Redundant I/O Cards Placement
3000 Series System with I/O Cards
Redundant I/O cards may be located in any chassis; there are no restrictions.
3100 Series System with I/O Cards
Redundant Output Cards in non-safety 3100 systems have the following chassis placement
restrictions if the Output_Disable_Type field is equal to 1 in the Node Configuration file.
All Redundant Output Cards may be located in the same chassis or in a single
other redundant chassis.
There can be multiple pairs of redundant chassis, but all redundant I/O cards
must stay within the same chassis pair as the other cards in the chassis pair.
This is an example of a good redundant configuration. All Redundant I/O cards are within two
chassis only:
Rack0 Slot0 is redundant with Rack0 Slot1 (OK-Redundant cards in same Rack)
Rack0 Slot2 is redundant with Rack1 Slot5 (OK-Redundant cards in one Rack and second Rack)
Rack0 Slot3 is redundant with Rack1 Slot10 (OK-Redundant cards in one Rack and second Rack)
This is an example of a bad redundant configuration. The redundant cards are distributed over
three chassis:
Rack0 Slot0 is redundant with Rack0 Slot1 (OK-Redundant cards in same Rack)
Rack0 Slot2 is redundant with Rack1 Slot5 (OK-Redundant cards in one Rack and second Rack)
Rack0 Slot3 is redundant with Rack2 Slot5 (Not OK-Redundant cards in one Rack and third Rack)
3200 Series System with I/O Cards
Redundant I/O cards may be located in any chassis; there are no restrictions.

13
Software Configuration
PLD Upgrade
To update card’s PLD firmware follow this procedure:
1. Turn the power ON at all chassis within the target node.
2. From Windows StartPrograms menu, launch the RTP Netsuite/RTPNC utility.
3. Select the Node with the I/O cards to be updated.
4. Select FILE/Download File and navigate to the Program pldprog. Use the FILE
TYPE/pgm option. CLICK/OPEN button to initiate downloading the file. When prompted
for PASSWORD enter “rtp” (or the correct node password).
5. Select FILE/Download File and Select CID_0102.PLD for the 3130 or CID_0103.PLD
for the 3131 and 3133.Use the FILE TYPE/pld option. CLICK/OPEN button to initiate
downloading the file. When prompted for PASSWORD enter “rtp” (or the correct node
password).
6. In RTP NetArrays Select Status for the Node, and observe that the pldprog.pgm file
and the CID_0102.PLD for the 3130 or CID_0103.PLD for the 3131 or 3133 file were
received as shown in Status Window 1.
7. Turn the power OFF and then back ON at all chassis within the target node.
8. The program pldprog.pgm downloaded will start and automatically update all of the
applicable cards’ PLDs. All non-distributed I/O cards should have their status LEDs ON.
9. In NetArrays Select Status for the Node, observe that the update has started as shown
in Status Window 1.
10. The Status Window will show all cards marked to be updated. Ensure that all applicable
cards in the Node are identified for updating.
11. Depending on the speed of the node, it will take several minutes for the process to
complete. When finished, the Status Window will show as shown in Status Window 2.
12. The cards being updated are processed at different times. Ensure that all cards identified
for updating have been processed before proceeding.
13. It is possible that cards of a type not being updated will report an error. This is of no
concern.
14. After the PLD update process is complete, all applicable cards in the Node will have their
PLDs updated.
15. Turn the power OFF and then back ON at all chassis within the target node. After the
power cycle, the 2 files downloaded will automatically be deleted, and the normal node
program will be active. The cards’ Integer Card Revision variables will show the revision
of the PLD downloaded.

NetArrays Configuration
Each output point is controlled by a Bool Variable object with the corresponding Tag. An integer
readback status can be read to compare the output register contents with the values written to the
card. Two additional safety status registers can be read to determine the actual states of the two
relays that control each channel's output. NetArrays also returns an error detection status word
for the card. This card includes a Watchdog Timer, which can disable the outputs if the processor
fails to access the card within the allotted time.
Card Properties
Redundant Card ID
If the outputs of two or three of these cards are connected in a parallel redundant output
configuration, a unique Redundant Card ID must be assigned to the cards to identify them as
being part of the same parallel redundant group. Relay cards are considered to be connected in
a parallel redundant output configuration if a single output device is connected to channel 0 of
each card, another output device is connected to channel 1 of each card, and so on for every
configured channel on the cards. Assigning them to a redundant group determines how the
diagnostic tests are performed and if a card is taken offline.

16
The Redundant Card ID number assigned to one group must not be assigned to any other group
of parallel redundant cards. If the relay card's outputs are not connected in a parallel redundant
configuration, the Redundant Card ID must be 0.
Watchdog Timer
When enabled, the Watchdog Timer will disable the outputs if the card is not accessed by the
controller within 150 ms. When disabled, the Watchdog Timer has no effect on the card's
operation. For safety-critical applications, this variable must be enabled.
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
This status bit indicates that a fault insertion test was performed, and a channel did not
detect the error.
Bit 9 Backplane Bus Data Error
This status bit is applicable only to I/O cards with Backplane Bus data checking
capability. It 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 Relay Fault Status Error.
Bit 5 Cable Detect Error
This bit indicates that one or more of the cables are not connected to the I/O card or
between the I/O card and the termination block.
Bit 4 Loopback Error

17
This bit indicates that the card has failed a loopback test. The actual output from the card
does not equal the expected output.
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).
Float Board Temp
The Board Temp is a floating-point value, which equals to the operating temperature in Degrees
Celsius as measured by an on-board sensor. User applications can implement customized limits
for alarms and annunciations by examining the value of this variable. NetArrays assigns a default
Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration. Reassign this Tag as
required to access this board temperature in the project program.
Integer Card Revision
The card revision is an integer value, which equals to the revision number of the PLD code.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.
Reassign this Tag as required to access this card revision in the project program.
Integer Readback Status
The bits of this Int input represent the last relay output states written to the card. A 1 indicates
that the contacts are closed (set); a 0 indicates that the contacts are open (reset). NetArrays

I/O Channel Properties
Channel
Each output channel can be enabled (Bool), or disabled (Disabled). You can disable any unused
channel to avoid scanning unconnected outputs.
I/O Tag
A True output from a Bool Variable object will close (set) the relay’s contacts. A False output
from the Bool Variable object will open (reset) the relay’s contacts. NetArrays assigns a default
Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.
Note! All unused un-terminated I/O points must be disabled in IO Configuration.
Default (3100/Non safety system only)
Note! This property is available only if output card is used in non safety 3100 Node.
Specifies channel behavior when chassis to node communication is lost:
On –channel will be On
Off - channel will be Off
Freeze - channel value will be frozen at last value

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

20
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.
