Concept
Universal Inputs/Outputs
The universal inputs/outputs are ideal for any mix of temperature, pressure, flow, status points, and similar point types in a building control system.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Connect only devices with safe extra low voltage equipment (SELV/PELV) inputs/outputs to the controller universal inputs/outputs. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. |
The controller universal inputs/outputs are SELV/PELV. Connect only devices with safe extra low voltage equipment (SELV/PELV) inputs/outputs to the controller universal inputs/outputs. Connecting devices that are not SELV/PELV poses an electrical hazard that will result in death or serious injury.
As counter inputs, the universal inputs/outputs are commonly used in energy metering applications. As supervised inputs, they are used for security applications where it is critical to know whether or not a wire has been cut or shorted. These events provide a separate indication of alarms and events in the system.
The universal inputs/outputs are capable of supporting analog outputs of type voltage outputs. Therefore, the universal inputs/outputs support a wide range of devices, such as actuators.
The RP-V controller models have universal inputs/outputs of type Ub.
Inputs
The universal inputs/outputs can be configured to read several different types of inputs:
Digital
Counter
Supervised
Voltage
Current
Temperature
Resistive
The external connection of a digital input is shown in the following figure.
K is the monitored external switch.
V S = 24 V
R PU = 10 kohm
A counter input uses the same hardware configuration as the digital input that is shown in the figure above.
Supervised inputs are contact closing inputs supplemented with the supervision of the field wiring integrity. This supervision is a required feature in many security system applications. The supervised inputs provide the ability to detect specific forms of tampering or trouble with the wire connections to the field contacts. The supervision is achieved with a combination of 1 or 2 resistors attached to the contact in the field. The resistor combination creates continuous current flow through the field contact loop and presents a defined set of expected resistance values for each of the defined conditions. If someone is attempting to defeat the monitoring of the field contact by short circuiting the wire with a jumper or cutting the wire, the objective is to detect and indicate such a condition. The resistors need to be located at the end of the cable close to the field contact, so that the point where there is a risk that the circuit is defeated is between the resistors and the I/O.
Three different types of supervised input connections are supported:
Series only
Parallel only
Series and parallel
Each type of supervised input connection provides a different capability in regards to what form of tamper/trouble can be detected regardless of switch contact open or closed condition.
Series only: A single resistor, which is connected in series with the switch, can only detect tamper/trouble in the form of a short circuit across the wire pair. A single series resistor supervision is frequently configured with a normally closed field contact. This provides for the short circuit to be detected and a cut wire will show as an alarm condition. The external connection of a series only supervised input connection is shown in the following figure.
K is the monitored external switch.
R S = 1 to 10 kohm
V S = 5 V
R PU = 10 kohm
Parallel only: A single resistor, which is connected in parallel with the switch, can only detect tamper/trouble in the form of an open circuit in the field wiring loop. With single parallel resistor supervision and use of a normally open switch in the field, the opened wiring shows as a detected fault and the shorted wiring shows as an alarm condition. The external connection of a parallel only supervised input connection is shown in the following figure.
K is the monitored external switch.
R P = 1 to 10 kohm
V S = 5 V
R PU = 10 kohm
Series and parallel: Two resistors, where one is connected in series with the switch and one is connected in parallel with the switch, can detect tamper/trouble conditions in the form of both an open and a shorted circuit. The external connection of a series and parallel supervised input connection is shown in the following figure.
K is the monitored external switch.
R P = R S ± 5 %, 1 to 10 kohm
V S = 5 V
R PU = 10 kohm
The external connection of a voltage input is shown in the following figure.
V G is the monitored external voltage (0 to 10 VDC).
R IN = 1 Mohm
The external connection of a current input is shown in the following figure.
I G is the monitored external current (0 to 20 mA).
R SH = 47 ohm
In the internal configuration of the current input, there is a current limit circuit in order to help protect the shunt resistor from over load. The input current is limited to 40 mA with a serial connected FET transistor. If this limit is reached for 0.5 seconds, the transistor is turned off. When 5 seconds have elapsed, the transistor is turned on again to make a new start attempt.
The external connection of a temperature input is shown in the following figure.
R T is the monitored external thermistor.
When a universal input is used as a temperature input, V S and R PU in the internal configuration of the universal input are used according to the following table.
