Core Functions

  1. SCSI-WDI Bridging: Connects TDC 3000 SCSI bus to Winchester disk drives.

  2. History Data Storage: Enables long-term archiving of process history, events, and logs.

  3. System Configuration Backup: Stores DCS configuration files and global databases.

  4. Signal Conversion: Translates SCSI protocols to proprietary WDI signals.

  5. Fault Detection: Monitors drive errors, timeouts, and connection issues; reports alarms.

  6. Data Integrity: Ensures reliable read/write for critical process data.

Application Scenarios

Used in oil/gas, chemical, petrochemical, power, and pharmaceutical industries. Installed in TDC 3000/TPS WDA History Module cabinets. Critical for regulatory compliance data storage, process trend archiving, and system recovery backups.

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

Usage

Insert module into dedicated LCN slot and secure screws. Connect SCSI cable to History Module and WDI cable to Winchester drive. Power on; verify LEDs: Power/Run on, Fault off, Activity flashing on access. Configure drive parameters via DCS engineer station. Test read/write and archiving before commissioning.

Maintenance

Keep environment clean, dry, ventilated. Check LED status monthly and cables quarterly. Clean dust with dry cloth; avoid liquid cleaners. Store spares in anti-static bags. Do not disassemble; service by qualified personnel. Replace if Fault LED persists after troubleshooting.
