POINT I/O Module Data 113

clamped. The clamps are absolute. Regardless of what is sent to the module or
what the fault state values are, the module does not operate outside these settings.

Latch Alarms

The latched alarms let low and high clamp status information to be latched. If an
output is clamped momentarily, the clamp status bit stays set until a reset latch
service is issued. The default setting is Unlatched. Each channel can be
configured individually. You can enable the Latch on a per-channel basis.

Alarm Disable

This function disables all channel alarms and faults so they are not reported in
the channel status field. The channel LED status indicator stays solid green, and
Latch Alarms are ignored. Change-of-state has no effect on module behavior.
Default state is Alarms Enabled. Each channel can be configured individually.
You can disable Alarms on a per-channel basis or they can be set with the Module
Configuration Assembly.

Channel Indicators

See the table for channel indicator states for given module condition.
