Clearing the RX3i Fault Tables
Clearing the RX3i CPU’s I/O fault tables has no effect on the GCG001 or on the Genius Devices downstream
from it. This action merely clears the I/O Fault Table temporarily. Use the Genius HHM or COMREQs in the PLC
program to exercise I/O points that had previously exhibited faults, and where the underlying field fault
condition has already been corrected.
