The following graphics show the operating modes in Character Mode for PCMCIA Modbus cards, the built-in link of the TSX SCY 21601 module and the Terminal Port.
The operating mode is as follows:
-
After power-up the module self-tests. During this stage the warning indicators flash.
-
If there is no Control Expert application in the PLC, the module awaits configuration.
-
If there is a Control Expert application in the PLC, the application's configuration is transmitted to the module, and then the module starts up.
-
When there is a power outage, the PLC processor carries out a hot restart. The module then restarts its auto-test procedures.
