Solution focus

A clear list of input conditions, output actions and state relationships helps align the understanding of functional requirements.

Engineering basis

Manufacturing and test data relate design intent, BOM and engineering data; control I/O is the starting point for translating functional intent into connectable and verifiable signal definitions.

Design focus

  • Define normal, boundary and fault triggers for every input
  • State the load, default state and failure state for every output
  • List indication, alarm, interlock and manual operation separately
Input areas, central components and output traces on a circuit board

Recommended information

  • Input conditions and triggers
  • Output actions and connected items
  • State, indication and exception requirements

Handoff and verification

  • I/O list and direction definitions
  • State-machine or timing description
  • Fault handling and manual-reset conditions

Next collaboration step

After the information for control logic and i/o definition is confirmed, align the functional, interface, material, assembly and revision information before the next solution discussion.
