3-8 FLEX I/O Modules
The input’s OK bit preconditions a Timer run that is preset to
accommodate an acceptable fault response time and any communication
filtering lags in the system. If the inputs miscompare for longer than the
preset value, a fault is registered with a corresponding alarm.
Figure 3.7
The control, diagnostics and alarming functions must be performed in
sequence.
•
Configuration parameters (for example, RPI, filter values) must be
identical between the two modules.
•
The same controller must own both modules.
•
Monitor the ControlNet status bits for the associated module and
ensure that appropriate action is invoked via the application logic by
these status bits.
•
Wire sensors to separate input channels on two separate modules that
are on different ControlNet nodes.
