Chapter 4   Output Module Features
Thermal Shutoff with a Safety Output Module
Table 36 describes what happens when a thermal shutoff condition is detected 
on a Compact 5000 I/O safety output module.
Table 37describes what happens when the thermal shutoff condition is 
corrected on a Compact 5000 I/O safety output module.
For more information on how to use the modules, see Appendix B, 
Module Tag 
Definitions on page 231.

One of the following:
• If the output point is 
shorted to 24V DC when 
the thermal shutoff 
condition occurred, the 
I.Ptxx.ShortCircuit 
tag = 1.
• If the output point is 
shorted to ground when 
the thermal shutoff 
condition occurred, there 
is no change to the tags.
One of the following:
• If the output point is 
shorted to 24V DC when 
the thermal shutoff 
condition occurred, there 
is no change in the 
diagnostics.
• If the output point is 
shorted to ground when 
the thermal shutoff 
condition occurred, the

I.Ptxx.ShortCircuit tag = 0 One of the following:
• If the output point was 
shorted to 24V DC when 
the thermal shutoff 
condition occurred, the 
Overload diagnostic = 0.
IMPORTANT: You must 
cycle power to the module 
to reset the diagnostic.
• If the output point was 
shorted to ground when 
the thermal shutoff 
condition occurred, the 
ShortCircuitGround 
diagnostic = 0.
Turns off if there is no 
longer a load that is 
connected to the 
output.
