MODULES > TYPE
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Displays the type of module actually installed in the slot or the type of module you plan to install in the
slot. The ATLAS 550 controller automatically detects the type of module installed in each slot, and the
TYPE field automatically defaults to the installed module type. You can also use this field to preconfigure a
unit before actually installing modules by specifying the module that you want to install in each slot.
To use this option, navigate to the field you want to edit and press <Enter>. For empty slots, a list of all the
available module types displays. Select the one you want and it displays in the TYPE field. If this field is
already configured with a module, you can only set this field to EMPTY. To change from one module type to
another, you must first set the field to EMPTY.
MODULES > MENU
Read security: 5
Displays additional status and configuration menus for the ATLAS 550 controller or selected module. To
access the submenus for this item, use the arrow keys to scroll to the MENU column for the module you
want to edit, and press <Enter>. For detailed information on each submenu item for a particular module,
refer to the modules menus discussion for the appropriate option or resource module.
MODULES > ALARM
Read security: 5
Displays whether there is an alarm condition on the ATLAS 550 controller or selected module. Press
<Enter> to access the ALARM menu. For detailed information on each submenu item for a particular
module, refer to the following sections for the appropriate option or resource module alarm menu
discussions.
MODULES > TEST
Read security: 5
Displays whether the ATLAS 550 controller or selected module is executing a test. Press <Enter> to access
the TEST menu. This option will allow you to set up and initiate tests. You may also access this menu
through the MENU submenu on this screen. For detailed information on each submenu item for a particular
module, refer to the TEST sections for the appropriate option or resource module test menu discussions.
MODULES > STATE
Read security: 5
Displays whether the ATLAS 550 controller or selected module is online or offline. Even though a module
is physically installed, it must be marked ONLINE for it to be considered an available resource. This
parameter allows an installed module to be marked OFFLINE, which may be useful in system
troubleshooting. If you choose OFFLINE, the module will not be in alarm condition, but will display
OFFLINE. While in OFFLINE, the STATUS LED will flash green. A module will automatically change to the
ONLINE state when installed.
