Digital inputs cannot be overridden locally. The override button has no effect, and if an 
attempt is made to operate it, an error is displayed. 
 
•  The LED lights up in accordance with the existing signal status 
•  Modules with an LCD panel display the source signal "Σ" (Counter), plus a block of 3 
fields which change with each pulse:

Diagram: Cause and effect 
 
The LEDs and LCD icons take at least 100 ms to change their state, even if the signals 
have a higher frequency. 
 
For details, especially in relation to flashing pattern and errors: refer to the section 
"Display, operation and diagnostics" in the TX-I/O™ Engineering and installation guide 
[6]. 
 
 
•  In the event of a communication failure the counter function is maintained.  
The counter values 
–  continue to be accumulated 
–  are indicated by LED 
–  periodically buffered  
–  only if Power Up = Last Value  
–  immediately after communication failure, and then each 15 min for max. 3 days 
(the number of write actions on the FLASH memory are limited). 
 
•  In the case of lacking module supply, the behavior depends on the configuration 
value Power Up 
–  Reset:   upon the next start-up, the counter is reset to 0 
–  Last Value:   upon the next start-up, the counter is reset to the last value of the 
buffer; some pulses may be lost. 
 
•  When communication is restored, the bus master polls the counter reading again.
