Chapter 3 ControlLogix Analog I/O Module Features
Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)
All ControlLogix I/O modules can 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 analog I/O modules provide both hardware and software
indication when a module fault has occurred. Each module has a status fault
indicator. RSLogix 5000 software graphically displays this fault and includes a
fault message that describes the nature of the fault. This feature lets you
determine how your module has been affected and what action should be
taken to resume normal operation.
For more information on module fault reporting as it relates to specific
modules, see the chapter describing that module, either chapter
4 , 5 , 6 , 7 or 8 .
Configurable Software
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.
