Module Features

General Module Features

This section describes features available on ControlLogix high-speed analog I/O
modules that are common with other ControlLogix I/O modules.

Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)

ControlLogix high-speed analog I/O 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 high-speed analog I/O modules provide both hardware and
software indication when a module fault has occurred. Each module has a fault
status indicator. The Logix Designer application graphically displays the fault
and includes a fault message describing the nature of the fault. This feature lets
you to determine how your module has been affected and what action to take to
resume normal operation.

For more information about fault and status reporting, see

.

Fully Software Configurable

The Logix Designer application uses an interface to configure the module. All
module features are enabled or disabled through the I/O configuration portion
of the application.

The user can also use the software to interrogate any module in the system to
retrieve the following:

Serial number

Revision information

Catalog number

Vendor identification

Error/fault information

Diagnostic counters
