Thermal Shutoff
Thermal Shutoff helps prevent damage to a test output on the 5069-IB8S or 
5069-IB8SK module that can result when an output gets hotter than it can 
handle. 
This feature is directly related to Short Circuit Protection feature. The 
increased temperature at the output results from an excessive load at the 
output. That is, a load with high current is applied to the output. The high 
current heats the output beyond an acceptable temperature and the output 
turns off.
Table 22 describes what happens when a thermal shutoff condition 
is detected.
Table 23 describes what happens when the thermal shutoff condition is 
corrected.
For more information on how to use the modules, see Appendix B, Module Tag 
Definitions on page 231.

IMPORTANT The 5069-IB8S and 5069-IB8SK are the only Compact 5000 I/O input 
modules that support Thermal Shutoff.

Goes in its 
commanded state.
IMPORTANT: The 
commanded state 
must be the Off state.
I.Testxx.ShortCircuit tag = 0 One of the following:
• If the output point is 
shorted to 24V DC, the 
Overload diagnostic = 0.
• If the output point is 
shorted to ground, the 
Short Circuit diagnostic 
= 0.
Turns off if there is no 
longer a load that is 
connected to the 
output.
