26 Configurable Flowmeter Module Features and Operational Modes
Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)
All ControlLogix CFM modules may be inserted and removed from the
chassis while power is applied. This feature allows greater availability of the
overall control system because, while the module is being removed or inserted,
there is no additional disruption to the rest of the controlled process.
Module Fault Reporting
ControlLogix CFM modules provide both hardware and software indication
when a module fault has occurred. Each module’s LED fault indicator and
RSLogix 5000 software will graphically display this fault and include a fault
message describing the nature of the fault.
This feature allows you to determine how your module has been affected and
what action should be taken to resume normal operation.
Fully Software Configurable
The RSLogix 5000 software uses a custom, easily understood interface to write
configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled through the I/O
configuration portion of the software.
You can also use the software to interrogate any module in the system to
retrieve:
 serial number
 revision information
 catalog number
 vendor identification
 error/fault information
 diagnostic counters.
By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and jumpers, the
software makes module configuration easier and more reliable.
