Chapter 4   Output Module Features
Table 25 describes what happens when a field power loss condition is resolved, 
the error latch time, if set, has expired, and the module is recovered.
Field Power Loss Detection has a corresponding tag that can be examined in 
the user program if a fault occurs. For information on module s, see Appendix 
B, 
Module Tag Definitions on page 231.
You can also monitor a point for the presence of a field power loss via the 
diagnostics that are available in the Module Properties dialog box in Logix 
Designer application.

One of the following:
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 
0(5069-OA16, 5069-OB8, 
and 5069-OW16)
• I.Ptxx.FieldPowerOff 
tag = 0 (5069-OBV8S or 
5069-OBV8SK)
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 0 (5069-
OBV8S or 5069-OBV8SK)
FieldPowerOff diagnostic = 0 Off Steady green
IMPORTANT The module can require up to 1 second to complete the recovery in addition 
to the Output Error Latch Time.
IMPORTANT Keep in mind the following:
• For the 5069-OA16 modules, 5069-OB16, 5069-OW16 modules, Field 
Power Loss detection is in regard to the SA Power bus. 
• For the 5069-OBV8S and 5069-OBV8SK modules, Field Power Loss 
detection is in regard to loss of LA power or SA power, or the presence of 
Undervoltage or Overvoltage conditions on the LA Power bus or SA 
Power bus.
• You can use 5069-FPD field potential distributors to establish new SA 
power buses that are separate from the one that the controller or 
EtherNet/IP™ adapter establishes.
• If separate external power supplies are used for each SA power bus, the 
loss of field power from one SA power bus does not affect modules that 
draw power from other SA power buses.
