zero, so that the output is turned off when you delete the
application program that controls it.

Fault Name

This is the name used in the application program to reference
the output point line fault status. The name can be up to 12
characters long.

During operations the output module is regularly tested for
open load, shorted load and blown fuse conditions. If any of
these conditions occur, the Fault Name variable will turn on.

Fault Name Description

This 40-character field provides a place to describe the output
point fault name definition. The description is used to help
document your system (it does not affect application program
operation).

Disable Fault LED

Marking the Disable Fault LED check box disables the
load/fuse fault LED for this output point on the face of the
output module. Marking this box does not stop the module
from performing load monitoring and blown fuse detection, it
only stops the module from displaying load/fuse faults on the
face of the output module. Load/fuse faults are still reported
to the Regent and are available to the application program
through the fault name variable.

This box can be checked for those output points that are spare
and have no field loads connected. In this configuration the
load/fuse fault LED will always be off. If you do not check this
box for unconnected spare points, the load/fuse fault will
always be on.

Output Module Definition

In addition to configuring output point definitions, you can
configure the output module definition to represent the
combined state of all 16 output points. This configuration is
done in the Monitored Guarded Output Module dialog shown
in Figure 10.

The module definition represents the 16 output point
definitions as signed, 16-bit integers. The Module Output
name represents the 16 output names and the Module Fault
