Monitor I/O Modules

The FlexLogix controller offers different levels at which you can
monitor I/O modules. You can:

• configure an I/O module so that the controller faults if that I/O

module loses its connection with the controller

• use the programming software to display fault data (Refer

to Displaying fault data on page 5-64)

• program logic to monitor fault data so you can take appropriate

action (Refer to Logix5000 Controllers Common Procedures
Programming Manual
, publication number 1756-PM001, for
examples.)

Displaying fault data

Fault data for certain types of module faults can be viewed through
the programming software.

To view this data, select Controller Tags in the Controller Organizer.
Right-click to select Monitor Tags.

The display for the fault data defaults to decimal. Change it to Hex to
read the fault code.
