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.
Module Fault
Displays the fault code returned from the controller (related to the module you
are configuring) and the text detailing the Module Fault that has occurred.
The following are common categories for errors:
• Connection Request Error - The controller is attempting to make a
connection to the module and has received an error. The connection
was not made.
• Service Request Error - The controller is attempting to request a
service from the module and has received an error. The service was not
performed successfully.
• Module Configuration Invalid - The configuration in the module is
invalid. (This error is commonly caused by the Electronic Key Passed
fault).
• Electronic Keying Mismatch - Electronic Keying is enabled and some
part of the keying information differs between the software and the
module.
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.
