Inhibit Module
Check/Uncheck this box to inhibit/uninhibit your connection to the module.
Inhibiting the module causes the connection to the module to be broken.
Note: Inhibiting/uninhibiting connections applies mainly to direct
connections, and not to the CNB module.
Note: A FLEX I/O module using rack communication cannot be
inhibited; the Inhibit checkbox on the Connection tab is disabled in this
case.
When you check this box and go online, the icon representing this module in
the controller organizer displays the Warning 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.
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 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
changes 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.
