controller or when the Logix controller goes into Program mode. Use this feature
to disable ports while the Logix controller is in Run mode and enable them when
the Logix controller is offline. The Fault/Idle State tab includes these fields:
• Communication Fault Behavior
– The default value is Enable All Ports.
– Enables all ports when the 1783-EMS switch loses communication
with the Logix controller. If the controller is disabling a port, it is
enabled if communication with the controller is lost.
– Holds last state when the 1783-EMS switch loses communication with
the Logix controller. If a port is disabled by the controller, it continues
to be disabled when communication with the controller is lost. To re-
enable all of the ports, the 1783-EMS switch requires a power cycle.
– Applies safe state values to ports when communication with the Logix
controller is lost. Port status can be changed when communication to
the controller is lost.
• Program Mode Behavior
– The default value is Enable All Ports.
– Enables all ports when the Logix controller is in Program mode. If the
Logix controller is disabling a port, it is enabled if the Logix controller
is in Program mode.
– Holds last state when the Logix controller is in Program mode. If a port
is disabled by the controller, it continues to be disabled when the
controller is put in Program mode. To re-enable all of the ports, the
1783-EMS switch requires a power cycle.
– Applies safe state values to ports when the Logix controller is in
Program mode. Program mode lets you change port statuses.
