Inhibit Module Checkbox
Check/Uncheck this box to inhibit/uninhibit your connection to the module.
Inhibiting the module causes the connection to the module to be broken.
When you check this box and go online, the icon representing this module in
the controller organizer displays the Attention Icon.
Major Fault on Controller if Connection Fails Checkbox
Check this box to configure the controller so that failure of the connection to
this module causes a major fault on the controller if the connection for the
module fails.
IMPORTANT
Inhibiting/uninhibiting connections applies mainly to
direct connections, and not to the CNB module.
ATTENTION
!
Inhibiting the module causes the connection to the module
to be broken and may result in loss of data.
If you are:
Check this checkbox to:
offline
put a place holder for a module you are configuring
online
stop communication to a module. If you inhibit the module while
you are online and connected to the module, the connection to the
module is nicely closed. The module's outputs will go to the last
configured Program mode state.If you inhibit the module while
online but a connection to the module has not been established
(perhaps due to an error condition or fault), the module is inhibited.
The module status information will change to indicate that the
module is 'Inhibited' and not 'Faulted'.If you uninhibit a module
(clear the checkbox) while online, and no fault condition occurs, a
connection is made to the module and the module is dynamically
reconfigured (if you are the owner controller) with the
configuration you have created for that module. If you are a
listener (have chosen a “Listen Only” Communications Format),
you can not re-configure the module. If you uninhibit a module
while online and a fault condition occurs, a connection is not made
to the module.
