Chapter 4 Output Module Features
The output remains at that state value until the following occurs:
• The connection to the owner-controller is re-established.
• The output returns to normal operation, as defined in the module
configuration.
Output State Once Connection Is Re-established
Once the connection between the owner-controller and output module is re-
established, the output resumes normal operation.
To see where to configure the Connection Fault Handling parameters,

Forcing
Use a force to override data that your logic either uses or produces.
• Test and debug your logic.
• Temporarily maintain normal system operations when an input device
has failed.
Use forces only as a temporary measure. They are not intended to be a permanent
part of your application.
Make sure that you understand the following before using forces.
ATTENTION: Forcing can cause unexpected machine motion that could
injure personnel. Before you use a force, determine how the force affects
your machine or process and keep personnel away from the machine area.
• Enabling I/O or SFC forces causes your machine or process to go to another
state or phase.
• Removing forces can still leave forces in the enabled state.
• If forces are enabled and you install a force, the new force immediately
takes effect.
