How to configure the behavior of faulty outputs

At a Glance

These parameters define the behavior of physical outputs of a channel on TSX CTY 2A, 4A and 2C modules when faults occur due to a voltage surge or short-circuit:

reactivation of outputs,
fallback mode.

These configurations are defined in the zones of the same name in the configuration screen.

CAUTION

UNEXPECTED APPLICATION BEHAVIOR - I/O BEHAVIOR CONFIGURATION

Ensure that the desired configuration, and in particular the reactivation mode, is compatible with the operation safety requirements

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Note

Configurations defined in this way are only valid when there is an overload or short-circuit of one or more outputs. In the event of a different kind of fault, the fallback mode is predefined according to the fault and the type of module.

Procedure

The table below summarizes the procedure for adjusting the behavior of faulty outputs.

Step	Action
1	Open the module to be configured.
2	In the channel field: select the counter (i.e. the channel) concerned.
3	In the general parameters field: select the counting function and the task. Result: the configuration screen appears.
4	In the Reactivation of outputs zone, select: Manual or Automatic
5	In the "Fallback mode" zone, select: Reset or Maintain
6	Configuration of physical output behavior is complete. If there are no more parameters to configure, enable the new configuration. To do this: scroll down the Edit menu and select the Enable command.
