The Hand-held Monitor can also be used for device configuration, fault clearing, and forcing I/O circuits and dual bus selection. It can also be set up to prevent the use of any of these capabilities.

A key feature of the Hand-held Monitor is its ability to communicate with I/O blocks and to force discrete and analog I/O, whether or not there is a PLC or computer connected to the bus. This greatly simplifies system check-out prior to full-scale system operation.
