Most reset commands are issued by the processor when it is placed
in the PROG mode. However, the processor automatically issues a
special command to any rack declared faulted regardless of the
processor mode.
When this special command is received by the faulted remote I/O
adapter, and processor restart lockout (PRL) has not been selected,
the adapter will:
• continue to read output image data from the link, and queue block
transfers if MCBs are detected
• reset all bits in the output words of discrete modules
• reset all bits in the write words of analog modules up to but not
including the write words of the safe state values
• assigns safe state values to outputs of analog modules
• issue a reply command
If processor restart lockout (PRL) has been selected, the adapter does
not update data, does not issue a reply command, and does not clear
the fault.
In this chapter, you learned how to address your I/O, how to
determine rack size, and how the modules are mapped
