Connection Tab
The Connection tab provides you with information about the connection
condition between the controller and a module. The information comes from the
controller.
Figure 10 - Connection Tab
The following table describes common connection errors.
Table 32 - Module Properties: Connections Tab Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
Requested Packet
Interval (RPI)
Each controller has its own RPI setting. The Connection tab for each module displays its own
value. This is also true for a virtual adapter.
Inhibit Module Check to inhibit your connection to the module. When you inhibit the module, it causes a
disconnection to the module.
When you go online, an icon appears on the module that
states that the module is inhibited.
Inhibit Online
If you inhibit the module while you are online and are connected to the module, the connection
is closed and the outputs go to the last configured Program mode state.
Inhibit Online but Connection Not Established
If you inhibit the module while online but a connection to the module has not been
established, due to an error condition or fault, the module is inhibited. The module status
information changes to indicate that the module is Inhibited and not Faulted.
Uninhibit Online
If you uninhibit a module online, and no fault condition occurs, a connection is made to the
module, and the module is reconfigured. If you are not the owner and in Listen Only mode, the
module is not reconfigured.
Uninhibit Online and a Fault Occurs
If you uninhibit a module while online and a fault condition occurs, a connection is not made to
the module.
Major Fault Configure the controller so that a loss of connection to this module causes a major fault.
Module Faults Displays the fault code that is returned from the controller and provides details about the fault.
Table 33 - Common Connection Errors
Error Description
Connection Request Error The controller is attempting to make a connection to the module and has
received an error. The connection was not made.
Service Request Error The controller is attempting to request a service from the module and has
received an error. The service was not performed successfully.
Module Configuration Invalid The configuration in the module is invalid. Module Configuration Rejected -
invalid power structure.
Electronic Keying Mismatch Electronic Keying is enabled and some part of the keying information differs
between the software and the module.
