Module Info Tab Overview

The
Module Info
 tab provides a general overview of the redundancy module's identification and status information. This information is updated approximately once every two seconds.
Option
Description
Vendor
Displays the name of the redundancy module’s vendor.
Product Type
Displays the general product type of the redundancy module.
Product Code
Displays the CIP product code for the redundancy module.
Revision
Displays the major and minor revision information for the redundancy module.
CIP Serial Number
Displays the CIP serial number of the redundancy module.
Catalog Number
Displays the textual catalog or model number of the redundancy module.
Manufacture Date
Displays the date the redundancy module was manufactured.
Hardware Revision
Displays the hardware revision of the redundancy module.
Serial/Warranty Number
Displays the serial number printed on the lable of the redundancy module.
Series
Displays the characters used to identify the series level of the device. The series value is intended to be used to identify the device hardware, and to determine what firmware updates can be applied to device.
SFP Type Link 1
Displays the status, catalog number, or Ethernet standard of the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module installed in the Link 1 SFP port of the 1756-RM3 redundancy module.
For more information, see Supported SFP modules.
SFP Type Link 2
Displays the status, catalog number, or Ethernet standard of the SFP transceiver module installed in the Link 2 SFP port of the 1756-RM3 redundancy module.
For more information, see Supported SFP modules.
Product Name
Displays the catalog name of the redundancy module.
General State
Displays the general state of the redundancy module. Possible values include Startup, Load, Fault, and OK, as defined below.
  • Startup: The RM is booting up.
  • Load: The firmware is being loaded.
  • Fault: An unrecoverable fault has been detected in the RM.
  • OK: The RM is working normally.
Major Fault
Indicates whether a major fault has been detected. When a major fault is detected, the system will not provide redundancy support.
Minor Fault
Indicates whether a minor fault has been detected. When a minor fault is detected the system will continue to provide redundancy support.
Local Fault Log
For each fault, the

Clear Fault
This button is enabled only when RM is in faulted mode. Clicking on the Clear Fault button will soft-reset the RM, reset the display fields, re-enable access to the tabs, and boot up the RM normally, like a power-up scenario.
User-Defined Identity
Following three parameters are used to simplify the identification of the RM module:
  • Name
  • Description
  • Location
Each of them can be 64 characters long and will be set only on the RM to which the FactoryTalk Linx Redundancy Module Configuration Tool is connected with the help of the
Change
 button provided in the User-Defined Chassis Identity area.
These parameters will not be cross loaded to the partner RM.
This parameter set will be maintained in a non-volatile memory, so that the chassis identity is retained through power-cycles.
By default, all these parameters will be empty.
