Operating Notes
▪
The Ethernet NIU assigns references in the EGD datagrams according to the physical order of I/O modules in the
backplane. The downloaded hardware configuration is not used to assign I/O to EGD datagrams. (If a hardware
configuration containing I/O addresses in a different order than the physical module locations is downloaded to the
ENIU, the references are assigned to EGD datagrams based on the physical module location and not the
downloaded configuration.)
▪
The VersaMax power supply connected to the Ethernet NIU and any power supplies that reside in a booster carrier
must share the same external power source.
▪
After a point fault occurs on an IC200MDL730A discrete input module, two clear fault table commands must be
sent to the VersaMax ENIU to clear the fault table and turn the Fault LED off. This issue does not occur when using
IC200MDL730B and later I/O module hardware.
▪
Using
Extended Distance
in a Multiple Remote Rack system may cause delays with some Analog Input modules
located in an Expansion Rack.
Configuring the VersaMax Ethernet NIU Expansion Bus Speed (in the Settings tab of the Ethernet NIU hardware
configuration) for
Extended Distance
(default) may cause updates to some Analog Input modules located in an
expansion rack to be delayed. This delay affects the following modules: IC200ALG260, IC200ALG261,
IC200ALG262, IC200ALG263, IC200ALG264, IC200ALG265, IC200ALG266, IC200ALG430, IC200ALG431, and
IC200ALG432.
If the total expansion cable length in your system is 250 meters or less, it is recommended that you configure the
Expansion Bus Speed to
Normal.
▪
On rare occasions, the verify operation or the clear operation from the programmer will fail. The programmer may
display the message "Online operation not supported on current target. Cannot continue current operation." A retry
of the verify operation or the clear operation will resolve this issue. Occasionally, two retries may be needed to
resolve the issue.
▪
The Ethernet NIU does not re-report unresolved Loss of Module faults after its fault table is cleared. (If the loss of
module condition still exists after the ENIU’s fault table is cleared, the fault is not re
-reported.) For example: When
an I/O module is hot-
extracted from the backplane, a Loss of I/O Module fault is recorded in the ENIU’s fault table.
If the fault table is cleared, the Loss of I/O Module fault is not re-recorded even though the I/O module is still missing
from the backplane.
