Channel Fault Reporting
The Bus Interface Unit can report faults for each channel to the network controller. If fault
reporting is enabled for a channel, the Bus Interface Unit sends a message to the network controller
if any fault occurs on that ch an n el. If fault reporting is di sabled, the Bus Interface Uni t d oes not
send fault reports for the channel to the network controller.
Regardless of whether fault reporting is enabled, the Bus Interface Unit detects faults on the circuit,
and takes appropriate action. If a fault occurs, the fault condition must be corrected for proper
operation of the I/O module.
