Component interface module with enhanced user convenience

A component interface module (CIM) for managing interface between a control system, which generates component command signals, and components, which generate component feedback signals, wherein the components are classified into first to third component groups according to an operating method and a component logic, the component interface module comprising first to third component interface modules configured to control the first to third component groups respectively, wherein each of the first to third component interface modules comprises:

• an input port to which a respective component command signal is input from the control system,
• a processor including a priority logic circuit for configuring a priority for the component command signals;
• and a component logic circuit generating a component control signal by integrating a component feedback signal of the component with a priority component command signal selected by the priority logic and including a dedicated logic circuit for each of the first to third component interface modules, and
• an output device outputting the component control signal to the component,
• wherein the priority logic of each of the first to third component interface modules is set by selecting any one of four settings of the priority logic circuit using a four-contact rotary switch wherein each contact corresponds to one of the four settings, and the component logic of each of the first to third component interface modules is set using a control rotary switch,
• wherein the control system includes a loop controller, a diverse protection system, a diverse manual actuation system, and a local manual switch,
• wherein the input port includes a port X to which the component command signal is input from the loop controller, a port Y to which the component command signal is input from the diverse protection system, and a port Z to which the component command signal is input from the diverse manual actuation system, and
• wherein the four settings of the priority logic circuit comprise a P01 setting corresponding to receiving a signal only from the port X, a P02 setting corresponding to receiving signals from the port X and the port Y and setting priority to closing, a P03 setting corresponding to receiving signals from the port X and the port Y and setting priority to opening, and a P04 setting corresponding to receiving signals from the port X and the port Y and setting priority to the port X.
