Module Properties dialog box - Safety Module Info tab parameters

The Safety Mo
dule Info
tab includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Identification
Displays the following identification information about the module.
  • Vendor
  • Product Type
  • Product Name
  • Catalog Number
  • Series
  • Revision
  • Product Code
  • Serial Number
  • Manufacture Date
  • Warranty
The name displayed in the Product Name field is read from the module. This name displays the series of the module. If the module is a 1756-L1 module, this field displays the catalog number of the memory expansion board (this selection applies to any controller catalog number even if additional memory cards are added.)
Major/Minor Fault Status
For a digital module, these options are available:
  • EEPROM fault
  • Backplane fault
  • None
For an analog module, these options are available:
  • Comm. Lost with owner
  • Channel fault
  • None
For other modules, these options are available:
  • None
  • Unrecoverable
  • Recoverable
Internal State Status
Displays the current operational state.
  • Self-test
  • Flash update
  • Communication fault
  • Unconnected
  • Flash configuration bad
  • Major Fault (please refer to Major/Minor Fault Status above)
  • Run mode
  • Program mode
  • (16#xxxx) unknown
If you selected the wrong module from the module selection tab, this field displays a hexadecimal value. A textual description of this state is only given when the module identity you provide is a match with the actual module.
Configured
Displays a yes or no value indicating whether the module has been configured by an owner controller connected to it.
Once a module has been configured, it stays configured until the module is reset or power is cycled, even if the owner drops connection to the module. This information applies to I/O modules only and does not apply to adapters, scanners, bridges, or other communications modules.
This value does not apply to safety applications.
Owned
Displays a yes or no value indicating whether an owner controller is currently connected to the module.
This information applies to I/O modules only and does not apply to adapters, scanners, bridges, or other communications modules.
This value does not apply to safety applications.
Module Identity
These options are available:
  • Match
    : If the physical module agrees with what is specified on the General tab, all of the following must agree:
    • Vendor
    • Module Type
       (the combination of Product Type and Product Code for a particular Vendor)
    • Major Revision
  • Mismatch
    : If the physical module does not agree with what is specified on the General tab.
This field does not take into account the
Electronic Keying
 or
Minor Revision
 selections for the module that were specified on the
General
 tab. Generic modules, such as the 1756-MODULE, always show a Mismatch because the configured Generic Key does not match any target device.
Diagnostics
Accesses the Diagnostics dialog box which contains diagnostic information.
Refresh
Retrieves and displays the latest values from the module.
Reset Module
Initiates a reset operation on the module, which returns the module to its power-up state by emulating the cycling of power.
Important
: Resetting a module closes all connections to or through the module, which may result in loss of control.
Tip
: Some modules may return an error if a reset is attempted.
