Shutdown Templates

The shutdown template enables configuring individual shutdown states for each channel of an output module. Output channels are driven to the default fail-safe state when the module enters the shutdown mode. Typically the module enters the shutdown mode when any of the system timeouts occur, or when commanded by the TMR Processor. A channel can be configured to enter a specific shutdown state other than the default using the Shutdown template.
A shutdown entry is entered using the following syntax:
channel#=< ON | OFF | HOLD >
The available shutdown modes are:
Mode
Description
ON
Energize the output
OFF
De-energize the output
HOLD
Hold, or maintain the output in the last commanded state
All output channels used for safety critical applications must be configured with a shutdown mode that places the process in the safe state.
