the processor module front panel. Field faults are not latched and will clear as
soon as the field fault is repaired.
When the Fault Reset button on each processor module is pressed it attempts
to clear a fault indication immediately, however, the diagnostic systems will
report a serious problem again so quickly there will be no visible change in the
fault status indications.
Remote Fault Reset
Using the AADvance Workbench software or AADvance-Trusted SIS
Workstation software, you can set up a fault reset variable to mimic pressing
the Fault Reset button on the front panel. This feature is provided for systems
in inaccessible locations. Refer to these publications for instructions on how to
set up the variable.

On-line updates I/O Configuration Changes
The AADvance controller modular design makes it easy to create and change
the I/O configuration. The on-line update facility enables you to make changes
to the I/O configuration after the system is commissioned.
An on-line update can be used for the following changes.
• Expand a system and add new I/O modules, base units and termination
assemblies.
• Change the module type in a simplex or group arrangement.
• Expand a simplex or group arrangement.
• Downgrade a group arrangement.
• Move a module to a different slot.
• Change an application variable.
You only have to plug an additional I/O base unit into the side socket on an
installed I/O base unit. The command busses on the I/O base units do not need
different terminations on the open ends of transmission lines, and the data
response busses and power sources are supplied across all I/O base units.
Termination assemblies are pushed into the I/O base unit for the additional I/
O modules. To put the new modules on-line and make the changes to the
system fully operational, the hardware configuration in the AADvance
Workbench software or AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software must be
updated by an on-line update.
