Notes: 
1. If a device fails while in the state of READY or DISABLE, the device failure is not recognized until the 
control goes into the PRESTART state.
 
2. There are restrictions when the control goes into the Disable state from the Running State.  The device is 
immediately turned OFF without a Stop Delay.  When the disable turns OFF, the control changes to the 
Ready state.
 
3. ERR Off (device fail) is monitored in Failed state, only if: 
a)
  Failed input caused the failure, and 
b)
  Auto Reset is enabled.
