                          •           Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) - The NMI is exclusively assigned to the Power Failure Function.  A power failure shall cause the MPU NMI line to immediately go LOW.  The line shall be held LOW until the RES goes LOW to prevent multiple NMI issuance.

                          •           Reset Interrupt (RES) - The RES is exclusively assigned to Power Restoration and MPU Startup.  The RES line shall go LOW 3 (+/-1) ms following the NMI going LOW.  The line shall remain LOW until 150 (+/-75) ms after Power Restoration.

                          •           Interrupt Request (IRQ) - The IRQ Line shall be jointly used by the RTC and ACIA 1 & 2 to initiate IRQ to the MPU.

                          •           Real Time Clock (RTC) - Real Time Clock circuitry shall be provided to trigger an interrupt to the MPU on the IRQ line once every 1/60 of a second during the 0' to 150' portion of the negative portion of the AC Sine Wave.  The AC Sine Wave shall be derived from the local power company's 120 VAC 60 Hz frequency.  The RTC shall be reset by a WRITE to Address 5FFF.

                                    21.10.1 The Monitor Unit shall render reliable detection and cause a relay output contact condition (FAILED state) when sensing the following:

                          •           The +24 VCD Power Supply Voltage below specified threshold

                          •           A WDT Timeout Condition

                                    21.10.2 An electro-mechanical relay shall be provided to switch an output circuit during a FAILED state.  The relay coil shall be energized in a NON FAILED state.  The relay contacts shall be rated for a minimum of 3 amperes at 120 VAC and 100,000 operations.  Contact opening/closing time shall be 30 ms or less.

                                    21.10.3 A momentary SPST CONTROL switch labeled “RESET” shall be provided on the unit front panel to reset the monitor unit circuitry to a NON FAILED state.  The switch shall be so positioned on the front panel that the switch can be operated while gripping the front panel handle.  A reset issuance (Unit Reset) shall be a onetime input to prevent the monitor from constant reset.

                                    21.10.4 All monitor logic and driver power shall be generated from an internal unit power supply except for WDT and +24 VDC cabinet voltage sense circuits.  The WDT sense circuit power may be derived from either power supply.  Circuits on the monitor that are “powered” by the +24 VDC cabinet power supply shall be optically isolated from those deriving their power from the monitor unit internal supply.  The monitor shall not draw more than 500 ma from the +24 VDC cabinet power supply.  Failure to provide reliable operating voltage levels shall cause a FAILED state.

                                    21.10.5 The monitor unit shall sense an external +24 VDC power supply output voltage.

                                    21.10.6 Voltages sensed at +18 VDC or below for a duration of 500 ms or longer shall cause a FAILED state.

                                    21.10.8 Voltages sensed below +22 VDC for a duration of 200 ms or less shall NOT cause a FAILED state.

                                    21.10.9 All timing and voltages conditions other than those specified above may or may not cause a FAILED state.

                                    21.10.10            A FAILED state caused by sensing the power supply shall illuminate a front panel indicator light labeled “VDC FAILED”.  The indicator shall remain ON until Unit Reset.

                                    21.10.11            Only Unit Reset shall reset the power supply sense circuitry from a FAILED state.

                                    21.10.12            Watchdog timer (WDT) circuitry shall be provided to monitor a controller unit output line state routed to the monitor unit at its assigned pin.  The WDT Circuitry shall sense any line state change and the time between the last change.  No state change for 1.5 +/- 0.1 seconds shall cause a FAILED state.  The timer shall reset at each state change in a NON FAILED state.

                                    21.10.13            Only the Unit Reset or a WDT inactive due to the voltage sense shall reset the WDT from a FAILED state.

                                    21.10.14            A FAILED state caused by the WDT shall illuminate a front panel indicator light labeled “WDT ERROR”.  The indicator shall remain ON until Unit Reset Issuance.

                                    21.10.15            The WDT Circuitry shall sense the incoming VAC Line and when the voltage falls below 98 +/- 2 VAC for 50 +/-17 ms shall inhibit the WDT Function.  When the WDT Circuitry senses the incoming VAC Line rise above 103 +/-2 VAC for 50 +/-2 ms the WDT shall become active.  A hysteresis between the Voltage Inhibit and the Voltage Active Settings shall be a minimum of 3 Volts.

                                    Operational Specifications: The isolation module shall be mounted on an edge-connected printed circuit board of the dimensions shown on the details herein.

                                    21.11.1 Each isolation channel shall not draw more than 400 milliamperes from the 24 VDC cabinet supply for its operating power.

                                    21.11.2 The isolation module front panel shall be provided with a hand-pull to facilitate insertion and removal from the rack enclosure.

                                    21.11.3 The isolation channel shall have a front panel mounted indicator to provide visual indication of each electrical contact closure and a test switch to place an input to the isolation channel.  Both indicator and switch shall be on the input side of the optical coupler.  Test switch shall be a single pole-double throw, three (3) position switch; momentary ON, OFF and one (1) maintained ON positions.  The contacts shall be either silver or coin silver with gold over nickel plate rate for 5 ampere at 115 VAC.

                                    21.11.4 Each isolation channel output shall be an optoisolated NPN open collector capable of sinking 500 milliamperes at 30 volts.  This output shall be compatible with the Model 170 Controller Unit.  Each isolation channel shall present ground true logic to the Controller Unit inputs.

                                    21.11.5 Front panel of module shall be labeled as to model number and titled “DC DUAL ISOLATION MODULE”.

                        21.12    Electrical Requirements: Each isolation channel input shall be turned on (true) when the resulting contact closure causes an input voltage less than 8 VDC, and shall be turned off (false) when the resulting contact opening causes the input voltage to exceed 12 VDC.  Each input shall deliver no less than 15 nor more than 20 milliamperes to an electrical contact closure or short from the internal 24 volt supply.

                                    21.12.1 The minimum isolation shall be 1000 megohms and 2500 VDC from input to output.

                                    21.12.2 Lightning Protection - Lightning protection shall be installed across all input pairs of the detector/input card.  The protection shall be designed to enable the device to withstand a 10 microfarad capacitor, charged to +/-1000 VDC, being placed, for a period of one (1) second, directly across the input pins or between either input pin and Chassis Ground of the detector/input card with no load present.
