Specifying a New Controller Chapter 6
Specify I/O Base Units
The T9300 I/O base unit (3 way) is a single, standardised design which suits all
termination assemblies and I/O modules. The base unit can have one triple
modular redundant assembly, one dual assembly and one simplex assembly or
up to three to simplex assemblies. The dual and triple modular redundant
assemblies can bridge adjacent base units, so two base units can (for example)
hold three dual assemblies.
Choosing Termination
Assemblies
The use of termination assemblies gives the AADvance system flexibility for
creating different architectures and expanding the system. Each termination
assembly is a very simple circuit that is matched to a type of I/O module and to
a specified module configuration. This table shows a summary of the
termination assemblies which are available and the related I/O module
configurations.
Table 17 - Choosing a Termination Assembly
You need one termination assembly for each group of related modules. For
example:
• Four T9401 digital input modules used in two, dual redundant
configurations need two T9802 termination assemblies — one for each
pair of modules
• Four T9401 digital input modules used for simplex inputs need four
T9801 termination assemblies — one for each module

IMPORTANT The termination assemblies for inputs have 8-channel I/O modules and 16-
channel I/O modules. A dual or triple arrangement can be made of 8- or 16-
channel modules, but not a mixture of the two.
