Module Features 53

You can also use the software to interrogate your module to retrieve:

serial number

revision information

product code

vendor identification

error/fault information

diagnostic counters.

By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and jumpers, the
software makes module configuration easier and more reliable.

Producer/Consumer Model

By using the Producer/Consumer model, modules can produce data without
having been polled by a controller first. The module produces the data and the
owner-controller device consumes it.

Status Indicator Information

Each module has Status Indicators on the front of the module that allows you
to check the module health and operational status.

For more information on how to use the module’s status indicators, and
RSLogix 5000, when troubleshooting your application, see Interpret Status
Indicators on

C-Tick and EtherNet/IP) it has obtained. See the module’s label for all agency
certifications. For more information on full certification specifications, see
