Toggle Inputs and Monitor
Outputs

Once the 1789-SIM module is installed in the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor, you
can monitor the module. Follow these steps.

1. In the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor, right-click SIM module and

choose Properties.

The Module Properties dialog box appears.

2. Click the I/O tab.
3. Click a specific input bit to toggle it on or off.

This tab also shows the state of the output bits. This is the same state that is
displayed when you open the module door from the chassis monitor.

Outputs remain in last state when the controller is in Program mode (this is not
user configurable). If the I/O connection is broken to the module, all of the
outputs reset to OFF.
