Appendix B   Module Tag Definitions
Event Input Tags
Table 65 describes the 5069-IB16F module event input tags. The event input 
tags are displayed only if Data with Events is selected in the Module Definition 
window.
Ptxx.TimestampLatchEn BOOL When this bit is set, timestamps are latched; this means 
that a Timestamp is not overwritten until acknowledged. 
All subsequent transitions on that point are ignored until 
acknowledged/reset. 
If the bit is not set, the new LO Timestamp overwrites the 
first LO Timestamp immediately, even if the controller has 
yet to extract that data. 
You can acknowledge the timestamp in the 
following ways:
• Off to On transition timestamp:
The Ptxx.TimestampOffOnNumber.x input tag value is 
written to the Ptxx.TimestampxxxxxNumberAck 
output tag value.
If Timestamp Latching is enabled, the 
Ptxx.Timestampxxxx input tag remains the same until 
the next input Off to On transition occurs. Otherwise, 
the input tag value is cleared.
• On to Off transition timestamp:
The Ptxx.TimestampOnOffNumber.x input tag value is 
written to the Ptxx.TimestampxxxxxNumberAck 
output tag value.
If Timestamp Latching is enabled, the 
Ptxx.Timestampxxxx input tag remains the same until 
the next input On to Off transition. Otherwise, the 
input tag value is cleared.
• 0 = Timestamps are overwritten with each 
successive COS transition.
• 1 = Timestamps are latched until 
acknowledged.

Table 65 - 5069-IB16F Module Event Input Tags
 Name Size Definition Valid Values
RunMode BOOL Channel’s operating state • 0 = Idle
• 1 = Run Mode
ConnectionFaulted BOOL Indicates if a connection is running.
The module sets this tag to 0 when connected. If the 
module is not connected, it changes the tag to 1.
• 0 = Connection running
• 1 = Connection not running
Diagnostic Active BOOL Indicates if any diagnostics are active or if the prognostics 
threshold is reached.
• 0 = No diagnostics active
• 1 = One or more diagnostics are active or the 
prognostics threshold is reached
DiagnosticSequence Count SINT Increments for each time a distinct diagnostic condition is 
detected, and when a distinct diagnostic condition 
transitions from detected to not detected. 
Set to zero by product reset or power cycle. Wraps from 
255 (-1) to 1 skipping zero.
-128…+127
The value of 0 is skipped except during module 
power-up.
Eventx BOOL Indicates the number of the event. 0…3
