Output state during Program Mode
  • Determines the behavior of each output when the controller transitions to Program mode. While in Program mode, outputs from the controller are ignored and the output behaves according to these conditions:

      - Output is 0 or Off (default)
    • On
      - Output is 1 or On
    • Hold
      - Output maintains last state
Output state during Fault Mode
  • Determines what happens to the output of each point after a communication fault occurs and the device enters Communications Fault mode.
    • Off
      - Output is 0 or Off (default)
    • On
      - Output is 1 or On
    • Hold
      - Output maintains last state

    • Forever
      (default)
    • 1 s
    • 2 s
    • 5 s
    • 10 s
Fault Mode Output State Final State
Determines whether the device transitions to On or Off after the Fault Mode Output State Duration elapses. The default final state is Off. If you choose Forever for
Duration
, the Final State setting is ignored and the device retains its current Fault mode state.
