3-8 FLEX I/O Modules

The input’s OK bit preconditions a Timer run that is preset to
accommodate an acceptable fault response time and any communication
filtering lags in the system. If the inputs miscompare for longer than the
preset value, a fault is registered with a corresponding alarm.

Figure 3.7

The control, diagnostics and alarming functions must be performed in
sequence.

Configuration parameters (for example, RPI, filter values) must be
identical between the two modules.

The same controller must own both modules.

Monitor the ControlNet status bits for the associated module and
ensure that appropriate action is invoked via the application logic by
these status bits.

Wire sensors to separate input channels on two separate modules that
are on different ControlNet nodes.
