IO: Chapter 5 (Configuring Redundant Input/Output Blocks)
IO-5: Section 1 (Configuring a Redundant Input/Output
Block)
Description: The following paragraph was added after the note on
page 5-1-1.
When you have Value Input Blocks (VIBs) configured on a F ield
Interface Card (F IC) and the RIOB takes over, all of the VIBs will
generate the alarm “VIB Hardware: Outside Block Range.” This alarm
will also be active when you configure the VIB until the VIB is given a
source Smart Transmitter Input Block (SIB) tag.
Description: The following note was added after the first note on page
5-1-2. Three m ore bulleted items were also added to this page.
NOTE: Make sure you configure RIOB blocks before connecting
the field I/O. Failure to configure a block before communication is
established with the I/O can result in improper operation of FIMs.
Deleting a RIOB will disrupt operation of the I/O on the primary
FIM if redundant FIMs are present.
D With 7/1 redundancy, the health of both transfer cards is
displayed. With 3/1 redundancy, only the health of the one
transfer card associated with the group of four FICs is displayed.
D Configuring an RIOB must be on point 1 and on an even line.
D Configuring a 7/1 RIOB must be on line 8. Configuring a 3/1
RIOB must be on line 4 or line 8.
Description: The redundancy scheme in Figure 5.1.3 on page 5-1-7
was changed from “7/1” to “3/1”.
