Connection Tab
The Connection Tab reflects controller to card behavior. This is where you
choose to inhibit the card, configure the controller so loss of the connection to
this card causes a major fault, and view card faults when online.
Figure 4.8 Module Properties - Connection Tab
The fault data on this tab comes directly from the controller. This tab displays
information about the condition of the connection between the card and the
controller.
Requested Packet Interval
This does not apply to motion cards.
Inhibit Module checkbox
Check/Uncheck this box to inhibit/uninhibit your connection to the card.
Inhibiting the card causes the connection to the card to be broken. When a
card is inhibited all of the associated axes are not used in the configuration
process. The system ignores them as if they were not there and allows
configuration and operation of any axis associated to other cards in the group.
TIP
Inhibiting/uninhibiting connections applies mainly to
direct connections, and not to the CNB card.
