Monitor Connections

If communication with a device in the I/O configuration of the
controller does not occur for 100 ms or 4 times the RPI (whichever is
less), the communication times out and the controller produces the
following warnings:

• The I/O LED on the front of the controller flashes green.

• A

shows over the I/O configuration folder and over the

device (s) that has timed out.

• A module fault code is produced, which you can access

through:

Module Properties dialog box for the module

GSV instruction

Determine if communication has timed out with any device

If communication times out with at least one device (module) in the
I/O configuration of the controller, the I/O LED on the front of the
controller flashes green.

• The GSV instruction gets the status of the I/O LED and stores it

in the I_O_LED tag.

• If I_O_LED equal 2, the controller has lost communication with

at least one device.

where:

I_O_LED is a DINT tag that stores the status of the I/O LED on
the front of the controller.

Determine if communication has timed out with a specific
I/O module

If communication times out with a device (module) in the I/O
configuration of the controller, the controller produces a fault code for
the module.

• The GSV instruction gets the fault code for Io_Module and stores

it in the Module_Status tag.
