•  The multistate process value is mapped so that the mapping table defines just one 
output to be driven by a pulse. 
Despite the interlocking of the contacts inside the module, overlapping "ON" states 
can occur (due to delayed release of the contactors, or "sticky" contacts) when 
switching from one stage to another. For this reason the contactors must always be 
interlocked externally (refer also to the connection diagram in the module data sheet) 
•  In the Mapping Table parameter, the default assignment of the I/O points to the 
values of MOValue can be changed (only for 1 to n mapping !). 
•  If no value corresponding to the process value is found in the mapping table, a 
Reliability Error message is transmitted (Quality = MULTISTATE_FAULT) and a 
configurable back-up value is enabled (parameter Backup Value). 
 
 
 
In the case of bus failure, with DC 24 V module supply available, the following backup 
states van be parameterized: 
–  No  (Inactive) (= default) 
–  Value  (Active, Inactive) 
–  Keep  Same value as before the bus failure 
 
Parameterization can be done during runtime. 
 
 
•  The I/O status LED is ON when the relay is active. 
•  In the case of an error the module status LED and all the I/O status LEDs assigned 
to the function flash. 
 
 
Pressing the middle of one of the override buttons assigned to the function 
enables/disables local override. When local override is active: 
•  Pressing "+" on one of the I/O points switches the load up one stage.  
Repeated or sustained pressure can be used to switch several stages until the 
function reaches the highest stage. 
•  Pressing "–" on one of the I/O points switches the load down one stage.  
Repeated or sustained pressure can be used to switch several stages until the 
function stops at the lowest stage. 
•  The change from one stage to the next occurs only after a delay of 0.3 s.  
This makes it possible to reach a stage directly (e.g. jump from stage 2 to stage 0 
and then to stage 3).  
•  The Override LED of all I/O points assigned to the function go off briefly while the 
switch is pressed. 
•  The I/O status LEDs indicate the activity of the relays 
•  Local operation can be disabled in the configuration.

play, operation and diagnostics" in the TX-I/O™ Engineering and installation guide [6].
