For the base sweep, if there is no configuration, the input and output scan phases of the
sweep are NULL (i.e., check for configuration and then end). The presence of a
If I/O is suspended, the input and output scans are skipped.
If no Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchanges are configured, the consumption and production scans are skipped.
Polling for missing I/O modules only occurs if a Loss of ... fault has been logged for an I/O module.
