Automation Tab
Global: Clicking on the Global button will return the user to the main I/O Control dialog window:
CPU Monitor Timeout (ms): This option is used to make the I/O fail safe if the main CPU stops working. The main CPU
controls communication, IODB and code written in C. If the main CPU stops working, the I/O processor will detect that
in the time defined in this field. Suggested timeouts are 1000ms to 10000ms. Timeouts faster then 100ms are not rec‐
ommended. The maximum allowed timeout value is 0xFFFF(65535ms).
Setting this value to 0 will disable the feature. The default valule for this field is 0 (Timeout Disabled).
Select the “Timeout Actions” field to define what the I/O should do when a CPU timeout occurs.
Timeout Actions: When a timeout to the CPU occurs, the selected “Timeout Action” will take effect.
When “Drop Physical Outputs” is selected, all outputs are dropped to
and OFF stated.
When “No Action” is selected, outputs will hold their last known value.
In a discrete output module, the OFF state is simply turning the outputs off, in an analog output module, OFF means to set
all outputs to a nominal calibrated zero output. TPO Outputs will be set to output 0, but may require the normal TPO inter‐
val to elapse before the output will go off.
