Fallback States

Only an output module channel to which the result of a reflex action (See What Is a

for Reflex

Reflex Action?, p. 156) has been mapped can operate in the absence of the NIM’s

Functions

heartbeat message.

 

 

When modules that provide input for reflex functionality fail or are removed from the

 

island, the channels that hold the result of those reflex actions go into their fallback

 

states.

 

 

In most cases, an output module that has one of its channels dedicated to a reflex

 

action will go to its configured fallback state if the module loses communication with

 

the fieldbus master. The only exception is a two-channel digital output module that

 

has both of its channels dedicated to reflex actions. In this case, the module may

 

continue to solve logic after a loss of fieldbus communication. For more information

 

about reflex actions, refer to the Reflex Actions Reference Guide (890 USE 183).

 

 

 

Configured

To define a customized fallback strategy for individual modules, you are required to

Fallback

use the Advantys configuration software. Configuration is done channel by channel.

 

You can configure a single module’s multiple channels with different fallback

 

parameters. Configured fallback parameters—implemented only during a

 

communications failure—are part of the configuration file stored in the NIM’s non-

 

volatile Flash memory.

 

 

 

 

Fallback

You can select either of two fallback modes when configuring output channels with

Parameters

the Advantys configuration software:

 

hold last value—In this mode, outputs retain the last values they were assigned

 

￿before the failure.

 

 

predefined value—In this (default) mode, you can select either of two fallback

 

values:

 

 

￿0 (default)

 

 

some value in acceptable range

 

The permissible values for fallback parameters in the predefined value mode for

 

discrete and analog modules and reflex functions appear in the following table:

Fallback Parameter Values

 

 

 

 

discrete

0/off (default)

 

 

 

 

 

1/on

 

 

 

 

analog

0 (default)

 

 

 

 

 

not 0 (in range of acceptable analog values)

 

 

 

Note: In an auto-configured system, default fallback parameters and values are always used.
