Status Indicators
All 8-channel modules have Status (ST) and Fault (FLT) indicators on the
front of the module that have no equivalent on the 6-channel modules. All
8-channel ST and FLT indicators operate according to the description in the
8-channel module manual, even when in Emulation mode. Also in Emulation
mode, only ST, and FLT indicators 0…5 are active, indicators 6…7 are always
off.
