Output Module Features   Chapter 4
Other Conditions That Can Trigger the Short Circuit Diagnostic on 
the 5069-OBV8S or 5069-OBV8SK Module
Table 32 describes conditions that can trigger the Short Circuit diagnostic.
When the conditions that trigger the diagnostics as described in 
Table 32 are 
corrected, the results are the same as described in 
Table 31 on page 116.
Table 32 - Conditions That Trigger Short Circuit Diagnostic
Conditions Output Behavior Tag and Diagnostic Combinations I/O Status Indicator State
• Output Mode - Sourcing
• Point Operation Type - Single
• Point Mode - Safety Pulse Test
• O.Ptxx.Data tag = 1
• Output point is shorted to 24V DC.
• Faults
• Turns off
• I.Ptxx.ShortCircuit tag = 1
• Short Circuit diagnostic = 1
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 1
Or
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 1
• Internal Fault diagnostic = 1
IMPORTANT: The tag and diagnostic combinations that are 
described occur on the faulted output point and all of its 
associated group points.
The I/O status indicator for 
the faulted output point 
turns off.
The following conditions exist on a pair of module 
outputs:
• Output Mode - Sourcing
• Point Operation Type - Dual
• Point Mode - Safety Pulse Test
• O.Ptxx.Data tag = 1 (Either output point in the pair)
• Output point is shorted to 24V DC (Either output 
point in the pair).
• Faults
• Turns off
• I.Ptxx.ShortCircuit tag = 1
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 1
• Short Circuit diagnostic = 1
• Internal Fault diagnostic = 1
Or
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 1
• Internal Fault diagnostic = 1
IMPORTANT: The tag and diagnostic combinations that are 
described occur on the faulted output point and all of its 
associated group points.
The following conditions exist on a pair of module 
outputs:
• Output Mode - Sourcing
• Point Operation Type - Dual
• O.Ptxx.Data tag = 1 (Both output points in the pair)
• Output points are shorted to each other.
• Faults
• Turns off
• I.Ptxx.ShortCircuit tag = 1 (Both output points in the 
pair)
• Short Circuit diagnostic = 1 (Both output points in the 
pair)
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 1
Or
• I.Ptxx.Fault tag = 1 (Faulted output point and all of its 
associated group points)
• Internal Fault diagnostic = 1 (Faulted output point and all 
of its associated group points
