Channel Configuration, Data, and Status 55
Detected Faults Indicated by Bits 12…15
When the module detects any of the conditions described for bits
12…15, it:
• sets the corresponding bit.
• blinks the status LED on the front panel for the channel having
the fault.
The module is designed to detect the following fault conditions.
Open-circuit Detection (Bit 12)
The module tests all enabled channels for an open-circuit condition
each time it scans its inputs. Possible causes of an open circuit
include:
• broken thermocouple or CJC thermistor.
• thermocouple or CJC thermistor wire cut or disconnected.
