Connection Fault Handling
You can configure FLEX 5000 output module behavior when a connection fault
occurs, that is, the connection between the owner-controller and the output
module breaks.
Yo u must d e fi ne th e fo l l owi ng :
• In standard and safety modules
– Immediate output behavior when the connection breaks
• In standard modules only
– Length of time that the output behaves as defined
– Output behavior if the connection remains broken when the length of
time that is defined previously expires
Output Behavior Immediately After a Connection Fault
When the connection between an owner-controller and output module breaks,
the output can behave in the following ways, depending on how the
Communications Fault mode parameter is configured:
• Turn off - Default
• Transition to a specific, user-defined value
(This option is not available for Safety applications.)
• Hold its last state
ATTENTION: Selection of “Hold” for Output State During Program mode and
Communications Fault mode prevents the output point from going to the
safe state, making the output point not suitable for a SIL or PL rated safety
function.
Set Output State During Program mode and Communications Fault mode to
“Off” to allow points to go to safe state.
