Isolation
Every PointScan/200 Series I/O module is isolated from ground (1200 Vrms 1 minute) and additional
modules for fault-free operation. Additional levels of isolation (e.g. 500V channel to channel isolation)are
provided with some modules. Refer to the product specifications in the IO Toolkit online help system for
more information.
Local Diagnostics
Local diagnostics can be performed through any available port while the gateway is responding to
messages from the other port. Diagnostic software, such as IO Toolkit, can be used to display the status of
the I/O registers.
Hot Swap Feature
I/O modules may be unplugged from their bases, even in live systems. PointScan/100 Series I/O modules
automatically self-configure from system memory. Analog I/O logic modules will automatically upload
and self-adjust to user calibration settings (if any are present) from the module base.
