Wire Digital Input Board Status Variables

1) Select the required row from the list shown.
2) Select the W button to connect the status parameter to the required variables.

Input Data is Valid - this status variable is used to report that the input data

is refreshed within the Refresh Timeout value.

Refreshed by Subnet 1 to 8 - Each of these variables can be used to indicate

that the data has been refreshed by subnet 1 - 8 within the Refresh Timeout

value. This status should be used to detect latent faults within a redundant

network. The data is delivered over all available subnets simultaneously. If any
variable goes FALSE for a programmed subnet, then the data has failed to

arrive on that subnet within the Refresh Timeout value. The variables for

programmed subnets may be combined through an AND gate to provide an
indication of full redundancy on that particular data path.

Hold Last Valid Value - When this variable is set to FALSE it will force data

to the fail safe state when data is invalid. When it is TRUE it will allow previous
data to persist when data is invalid.

3) If you need to disconnect a variable select the U button.
