4-6 Writing Configuration to and Reading Status from Your Module with a Remote I/O Adapter
Write Word 0 Bits 06-07 Fault Mode bits – when a bit is set (1), fault mode is enabled for that channel. Bit 06
corresponds to channels 0-3; bit 07 corresponds to channels 4-7.
0 = disabled
1 = enable wire-off detection
Bits 08-11
(10-13)
Data format – module defaults to –4000 to 10000 in millivolt mode, and 0 to 5000 in
ohms mode
