Default State: Choose a default state: OFF (0), ON (1), or hold last state.

For a triplex group, this state will be provided to the application program if communications from all three blocks in the group are lost (if Voting Adaptation is 3±2±1±0). Alternatively, if Voting Adaptation is set to 3±2±0, this state is provided to the application program if communications from two blocks in the group are lost.

For a duplex group, this state will be provided to the application program if communications from both blocks in the group are lost.

For a simplex group, this state will be provided to the application program if communications from the single block are lost.

Hot Standby: Select whether unused circuits to be used as outputs will operate in Hot Standby mode (see chapter 3 for a description of Hot Standby operation).

Bus Connects: a triplex group connects to all three busses, so no entry is needed for Bus Connects. For a duplex or simplex group, specify the bus connections as explained below.

For a duplex group, configure the two busses the group is connected to: A (from the PLC using serial bus address 31) and B (from the PLC using serial bus address 30), or B and C (the PLC using serial bus address 29) or A and C.

For a simplex group, configure the bus the group is connected to: A (from the PLC using serial bus address 31), B (from the PLC using serial bus address 30), or C (from the PLC using serial bus address 29).
