NI CVS-1450 Series User Manual
An example of using general-purpose outputs is driving a relay that turns
on an Inspection in Progress light for an operator to see while the inspection
sequence is running.
I/O for Fault Conditions
The CVS-1450 device recognizes the following fault conditions:
•
External shutdown, when Shutdown mode is enabled
•
Watchdog timer expiration
•
Overheat
The behavior of the CVS-1450 device in the event of a fault condition is
dependent on configuration settings of the SAFE MODE DIP switch and
the software-enabled Shutdown mode. Table 4-4 summarizes how user
configuration affects the behavior of the CVS-1450 device in the event of a
fault condition. To resume operation, address the fault condition and reset
the CVS-1450 device. The following sections describe each fault condition.
