In the same area there are 3 LEDs which indicate the module’s operating mode:
  • RUN indicates the operating status of the module,
  • ERR indicates an internal fault in the module,
  • I/O indicates a fault from outside the module or an application fault.

Channel area
Is used:
  • By clicking on the reference number, to display the tabs:
    • Description which gives the characteristics of the device.
    • I/O Objects which is used to presymbolize the input/output objects.
    • Fault, which shows the device faults (in online mode only).
  • Channel: module channel number. To the left of the symbol there is a copy of the CHx channel LED.

General parameters area
Gives a reminder of the channel setting:
  • Task: specifies the MAST or FAST task configured. This heading is frozen.
  • Function: the Global Unforce provides direct access to the channels’ Global Unforce function.

Parameters in progress zone
This zone displays the state of the inputs and outputs, and the different parameters in progress.
For each of the channels, there are four columns:
  • The Type column for indicating the type (input or output),
  • The Symbol column displays the symbol associated with the channel when it has been defined by the user (using the variable editor),
  • The State column displays the state of each of the module’s channels and enables their forcing,
  • The Fault column creates direct access to the diagnostics for each channel when these are faulty (indicated by the indicator lamp built into the diagnostics access button, which turns red).
