Chapter 7 Common Features of the 1732E-IB8M8SOER and 1732E-OB8M8SR Modules
a. Inhibit the module.
b. Perform the upgrade.
c. Uninhibit the module.
• You are using a program that includes a module that you do not physically
possess yet, but you do not want the controller to continually look for a
module that does not exist yet. In this case, you can inhibit the module in
your program until it physically resides on the network.
You can inhibit your module on the Connection tab in RSLogix 5000, as shown
in the example.
Module Fault Reporting Your module provides both a hardware and software indication when a module
fault occurs. The module’s status indicators and RSLogix 5000 display each fault
and include a fault message describing the nature of the fault.
This feature allows you to determine how the fault affects your module and what
action you should take to resume normal operation. For more information on
how to use hardware and software indicators when a module fault occurs, see
Interpret Status Indicators on
page 91 and Troubleshoot the Module on page 87 .
Fully Configurable via
Software RSLogix 5000 software uses a custom, easily understood interface to write
configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled through the I/O
configuration portion of the software.
You can also use the software to interrogate your module to retrieve:
• serial number
• revision information
• product code
• vendor identification
• error/fault information
Tick this box to inhibit or
uninhibit the module.
