Fault and Status Reporting

The analog output modules send fault and status data with channel data to the owner and listening controllers. The data is returned via module tags that you can monitor in your Studio 5000 Logix Designer application.
Fault and Status Data Tags
Data Type
Tag Name
Description
Fault
ConnectionFaulted
Indicates if a connection is running. The module sets this tag to 0 when connected. If the module is not connected, it changes the tag to 1.
Chxx.Fault
Indicates that channel data is inaccurate and cannot be trusted for use in the application. If the tag is set to 1, you must troubleshoot the module to correct the cause of the inaccuracy.
IMPORTANT: Once the condition that causes the tag to change to 1 is removed, the tag automatically resets to 0.
Status
RunMode
Channel’s operating state.
DiagnosticActive
Indicates if any diagnostics are active or if the prognostics threshold is reached.
DiagnosticSequenceCount
Increments for each time a distinct diagnostic condition is detected, and when a distinct diagnostic condition transitions from detected to not detected.
Chxx.Uncertain
Indicates that the channel data can be inaccurate but the degree of inaccuracy is not known. If the tag is set to 1, you must troubleshoot the module to correct the cause of the inaccuracy.
IMPORTANT: Once the condition that causes the tag to change to 1 is removed, the tag automatically resets to 0.
