Section 1
INTRODUCTION

This specification sets forth the minimum requirements for a shelf-mountable, sixteen
channel, solid-state Malfunction Management Unit (MMU). The MMU shall meet, as a
minimum, all applicable sections of the NEMA Standards Publication No. TS2-2016.
Where differences occur, this specification shall govern.

1.1 MONITORING FUNCTIONS

The following monitoring functions shall be provided in addition to those required by the
NEMA Standard Section 4.

1.2 DUAL INDICATION MONITOR

Dual Indication monitoring shall detect simultaneous input combinations of active Green
(Walk), Yellow, or Red (Dont Walk) field signal inputs on the same channel. In Type 12
mode this monitoring function detects simultaneous input combinations of active Green
and Yellow, Green and Red, Yellow and Red, Walk and Yellow, or Walk and Red field
signal inputs on the same channel.

1.3 DUAL INDICATION MONITORING

Sixteen switches labeled FIELD CHECK/DUAL ENABLES shall be provided on the MMU
front panel to enable Dual Indication Monitoring on a per channel basis. The Dual
Indication Monitor function shall provide two modes of operation, Dual Indication Fault and
GY-Dual Indication Fault.
When voltages on two inputs of a vehicle channel are sensed as active for more than 450
msec, the MMU shall enter the fault mode, transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the
Fault position, and illuminate the DUAL INDICATION indicator. The MMU shall remain in
the fault mode until the unit is reset by the RESET button or the EXTERNAL RESET input.
When voltages on two inputs of a vehicle channel are sensed as active for less than 200
msec, the MMU shall not transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the Fault position.
When operating in the Type 16 mode with Port 1 communications enabled, Bit #68 (Spare
Bit #2) of the Type #129 response frame shall be set to indicate a Dual Indication fault has
been detected.
Dual Indication Monitoring shall be disabled when the RED ENABLE input is not active.
1.3.1 GY-DUAL INDICATION MONITOR
GY-Dual Indication monitoring shall detect simultaneous inputs of active Green and Yellow
field signal inputs on the same channel. It will be used to monitor channels which have an
unused Red field signal input tied to AC LINE such as a five section signal head.
GY-Dual Indication Monitoring shall be enabled by a front panel option switch. When the
GY-Dual Indication Monitoring option is enabled, all channels which have the front panel
FIELD CHECK/DUAL ENABLE switches OFF shall be individually monitored for
simultaneous active Green and Yellow field signal inputs. All channels which have the
front panel FIELD CHECK/DUAL ENABLE switches ON (i.e. enabled for Dual Indication
Monitoring) shall function as described above in Dual Indication Monitoring.
 SPECIFICATION
MALFUNCTION MANAGEMENT UNIT

1.4 FIELD CHECK MONITORING

Sixteen switches labeled FIELD CHECK/DUAL ENABLES shall be provided on the MMU
front panel to enable Field Check Monitoring on a per channel basis. The Field Check
Monitor function shall provide two modes of operation, Field Check Fault and Field Check
Status.
Field Check Monitoring shall be disabled when the RED ENABLE input is not active. The
Field Check Monitoring function shall be disabled in the Type 12 mode.
1.4.1 FIELD CHECK MONITOR
In the Field Check Fault mode, when the field signal input states sensed as active or
inactive by the MMU do not correspond with the data provided by the Controller Unit in the
Type #0 message for 10 consecutive messages, the MMU shall enter the fault mode,
transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the Fault position, and illuminate the FIELD
CHECK FAIL indicator. The Channel Status Display shall indicate the channels on which
the Field Check fault was detected. Bit #67 (Spare Bit #1) of the Type #129 response
frame shall be set to indicate a Field Check fault has been detected. The MMU shall
remain in the fault mode until the unit is reset by the RESET button or the EXTERNAL
RESET input.
1.4.2 FIELD CHECK STATUS
The Field Check Status mode shall work in combination with the other fault monitoring
functions of the MMU. When a Conflict, Red Fail, Clearance Fail, or Dual Indication Fail
triggers the MMU, the Channel Status Display and Fault Status Display shall correspond
to that detected fault. If Field Check errors were detected while the fault was being timed,
the inputs on which the Field Check errors were detected shall double pulse at the same
time as the FIELD CHECK STATUS indicator. Bit #67 (Spare Bit #1) of the Type #129
response frame shall also be set to indicate Field Check errors have been detected.

1.5 RECURRENT PULSE MONITORING

The Signal Monitor shall detect Conflict, Red Fail, and Dual Indication faults that result
from intermittent or flickering field signal inputs. These recurring pulses shall result in a
latching fault with the RECURRENT PULSE STATUS indicator illuminated along with the
resulting Conflict, Red Fail, or Dual Indication indicator. An option switch shall be provided
to disable the RP detect function for testing purposes.
When operating in the Type 16 mode with Port 1 communications enabled, Bit #69 (Spare
Bit #3) of the Type #129 response frame shall be set to indicate a Recurrent Pulse status
has been detected.

1.6 EXTERNAL WATCHDOG MONITOR

The MMU shall provide the capability to monitor an optional external logic level output
from a Controller Unit or other external cabinet circuitry. If the MMU does not receive a
change in state on the EXTERNAL WATCHDOG input for 1500 msec (_ +100 msec), the
MMU shall enter the fault mode, transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the Fault position,
and illuminate the CVM/WATCHDOG indicator. The MMU shall remain in the fault mode
until the unit is reset by the RESET button or the EXTERNAL RESET input. An MMU
Power Failure shall reset the CVM/WATCHDOG fault state of the monitor. The
EXTERNAL WATCHDOG input shall be wired to connector MSB-S.
 SPECIFICATION
MALFUNCTION MANAGEMENT UNIT

When operating in the Type 16 mode with Port 1 communications enabled, Bit #70 (Spare
Bit #4) of the Type #129 response frame shall be set to indicate an External Watchdog
fault has been detected.

1.7 WALK DISABLE OPTION

The MMU shall provide the capability to exclude the Walk inputs from the Red Fail fault
detection algorithm when operating in the Type 12 mode. When the option is selected, the
absence of signals on the Green, Yellow, and Red field outputs of a channel will place the
MMU-16 unit into the fault mode, transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the Fault position,
and illuminate the RED FAIL indicator.

1.8 TYPE FAULT MONITOR

The MMU shall verify at power-up that the Type 12 or Type 16 operating mode as
determined by the TYPE SELECT input is consistent with the mode set by the last external
reset.
Detection of a Type Fault shall place the MMU into the fault mode, transfer the OUTPUT
relay contacts to the Fault position, illuminate the DIAGNOSTIC indicator, and flash the
TYPE 12 indicator at a 2Hz rate. The MMU shall remain in the fault mode until the unit is
reset by the RESET button or the EXTERNAL RESET input. An MMU Power Failure shall
reset the Type Fault state of the monitor.

1.9 CONFIGURATION CHANGE MONITOR

On power-up, reset, and periodically during operation, the Signal Monitor shall compare
the current configuration settings with the previously stored value. If the settings have
changed, the Signal Monitor shall automatically log the new setting. These settings shall
include the Program Card jumpers and all switches.
A programming option shall be provided such that any change in the configuration
parameters shall cause the Signal Monitor to enter the fault mode causing the Output relay
contacts to close and enabling the Stop-Time output to the controller. To indicate this fault
mode the PGM CARD / CF indicator shall flash at a 4 Hz rate. Depressing the Reset
button for 3 seconds shall be required to clear this fault and log the new configuration
parameters.
If the programming option is not selected, the unit shall not set the fault mode but will still
log the configuration change.

1.10 CVM LOG DISABLE

The MMU shall provide a means to disable the logging of CVM fault events.

full intersection status simultaneously. For Type 12 mode operation the Walk input status
shall be shown on channel indicators 13 through 16.

2.2 FAULT CHANNEL STATUS DISPLAY

During normal operation the 48 Channel Status indicators shall display all active signals. In
the fault mode the Channel Status indicators shall display all signals active at the time of
the fault for six seconds and then indicate the channels involved in the fault for 2 seconds.

2.3 FIELD CHECK STATUS DISPLAY

The FIELD CHECK FAIL indicator shall illuminate when a Field Check Fault is detected.
The Channel Status display shall show the channels on which the Field Check fault
occurred.
If Field Check errors occurred during a Conflict Fault, Red Fail, Clearance Fail, or Dual
Indication Fail the FIELD CHECK STATUS indicator shall illuminate. The channels on
which the Field Check Status was detected during the fault shall double pulse on the
Channel Status Display at the same time as the FIELD CHECK STATUS indicator.

2.4 RECURRENT PULSE STATUS DISPLAY

If Recurrent Pulse inputs were detected during a Conflict Fault, Red Fail, or Dual Indication
Fail the RECURRENT PULSE STATUS indicator shall illuminate. The channels on which
the Recurrent Pulse Status was detected during the fault shall double pulse on the Channel
Status Display at the same time as the RECURRENT PULSE STATUS indicator.
