This section contains specific information for configuring your WI-I/O 9-L-R unit.

Unit output reset times allow you to configure the outputs to turn off if they do not receive an

update message within a certain time.
The output is reset to a zero value if it does not receive an update message within the

configured time. The output is turned off for discrete outputs. For analog outputs, the output is

actually set to -4mA internally, however the lowest current at the output is 0mA
As well as resetting the output, the front panel LED for the output flashes quickly to indicate

communication failure.
If any output is reset because of an output reset timeout, the global communication fail status

output is also activated.

Note

Setting the output reset time to zero is the same as disabling the output reset. The WI-
I/O 9-L-R will retain the current output value indefinitely although no messages are
received from the transmitting unit when the output reset is disabled.

To set unit output reset times:

1. Open the project.
2. Select the unit you want to change.
3. Select
