Module Inhibiting
With module inhibiting, you can indefinitely suspend a connection
between an owner-controller and a Sequence of Events module.
This process can occur in the following way:
• You write configuration for a Sequence of Events module but
inhibit the module to prevent it from communicating with the
owner-controller. In this case, the owner-controller does not
establish a connection and configuration is not sent to the
module until the connection is uninhibited.
The following examples are instances where you may need to use
module inhibiting:
• You want to FLASH upgrade your module. We recommend
you:
a. Inhibit the module.
b. Perform the upgrade.
c. Uninhibit the module.
• You are using a program that includes a module that you do
not physically possess yet, but you do not want the controller
to continually look for a module that does not exist yet. In
this case, you can inhibit the module in your program until it
physically resides in the proper slot.
You can inhibit your Sequence of Events module on the
Connection tab in RSLogix 5000, as shown in the example below.
