Module Fault Related to RPI Estimates
When following the guidelines described in Table 9, most Compact
GuardLogix 5370 controller systems operate as expected. Some systems that
follow the guidelines can experience a Module RPI Overlap minor fault as
described in Table 10
.

This fault is logged when the current RPI update of an I/O module overlaps with
its previous RPI update. The Minor Faults tab in the Controller Properties dialog
box indicates in which module the RPI overlap occurs.
If multiple I/O modules experience the fault, the application indicates that the
fault occurred on the first such I/O module. Typically, it is an I/O module with a
large I/O array sizes. Example modules that use large I/O array sizes include the
1769-SDN and 1769-HSC modules. In these cases, we recommend that you adjust
the RPI of the module to remove the fault.
Once the fault is cleared from the first I/O module, the application indicates the
next module that experiences the fault. This pattern continues until the fault is
cleared from all affected I/O modules.
To avoid this fault, set the RPI rate of the I/O modules to higher numerical values.
We recommend you use an RPI value that is not a common multiple of other
module RPI values, such as 2.5 ms, 5.5 ms, or 7 ms.
• We recommend that you do not run Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller
systems with Module RPI Overlap faults.
• A system that experiences many Module RPI Overlap faults cannot operate
optimally because I/O data is not sampled at the expected rate that the RPI
settings determine.
• When the project is downloaded or the RPI value of an I/O module is adjusted,
it is expected to have a minor fault. Faults under these conditions are
transitionary. Clear the fault and wait for the fault to reappear before
adjusting the RPI value or the task priorities.
