Determine if I/O Communication has Timed Out

This example can be used with the CompactLogix 5370 controllers:
• The GSV instruction gets the status of the I/O status indicator (via the
LEDStatus attribute of the Module object) and stores it in the
IO_LED tag.
• IO_LED is a DINT tag that stores the status of the I/O status indicator or
status display on the front of the controller.
• If IO_LED equals 2, then at least one I/O connection has been lost and
the Fault_Alert is set.

Determine if I/O Communication to a Specific I/O Module has

Timed Out

If communication times out with a device (module) in the I/O configuration of
the controller, the controller produces a fault code and fault information for the
module. You can use GSV instructions to get fault code and information via the
FaultCode and FaultInfo attributes of the Module object.

Logix5000 Controllers General Instructions Reference Manual, publication
1756-RM003.
