When the correct LED states have been entered, the user must select the OK button. This will return
the user to the Template Creation window which permits the newly created template to be saved. The
filename must not include any spaces. Underscores are recommended.
2.3.9. Force Templates
Refer to the safety manual.
These templates allow forcing of the input or output channel states on-board the module to a specific
value irrespective of the value that may be present. Channels may be forced to a specified state on a
per-channel basis. The states that exist on a module are specific to that module. For example,
channels on the 8431 Analogue Input Module may be any one of eight states detailed in Table 4 below.
0 - Under range
1 - Low-Low
2 - Low
3 - Normal
4 - High
5 - High-High
6 - Over Range
7 - Fail Safe

shown in Figure 13 below to be displayed.

The Forcing Editor window above shows Channels 1, 11, 22 and 31 forced to the ‘High’ state
described in section 2.3.9 above. The LEDs displaying the channel status will be steady green (if set
to the default colours) because they are indicating state 4.
To add a channel force to the template, the user must select the appropriate channel number in the
Channel Select window, enter the required channel state in the Channel State window, then select
the Add button.
To remove a channel from the template, the user must select the channel, then select the Remove
button. A warning message is shown to ensure the correct force is removed.
To change the entered state for a channel, the user must select the appropriate channel, enter the new
value in the Channel State window, then select the Change button.
