RevPi IO fault detection
Posted: 29 Jan 2021, 14:30
Hi.
I'm currently testing out fault scenarios regarding RevPi IO to make sure our software will correctly capture and present IO errors to the user.
I have some questions, hope you find time to answer:
1. The DI card (also DI part of DIO) has L (bit UV2) and LL (bit UV1) voltage detection on X2-I terminal. Why are these bit's not available for the DO part, hence the X2-O terminal?
2. OutputOpenLoadDetection for a DO card, as I understand enables monitoring of the loop load - and shall alert if loop is broken (open). Correct?
Then, following is stated:
In case of an error, the corresponding bits are set in the variable “Output Status” (Offset 2). As a result, all outputs are switched off and the status LED on the DIO/DO module flashes permanently red, as in all error cases.
So, is it really so that if one single loop on a DO card is broken(open) - all outputs are switched off?
Thanks,
