Module Inhibiting
Tick this box to inhibit or uninhibit
the module.
Chapter 7
We recommend using Compatible Module whenever possible. Remember, though, with
major revision changes, the module only works to the level of the configuration.
At the time of this printing, the module uses a major.minor revision of 1.6
a new major revision for the module is released, consider this example. If a module is
configured for major.minor revision of 1.7 and you insert a module with a major.minor
revision of 2.3, the module works at the 1.7 level, with respect to module functions that
are related to Studio 5000 Logix Designer software such as interface changes.
Anomaly updates that are affected by the module's firmware, though, would work at
the 2.3 revision level.
If possible, we recommend that you make sure configuration is updated to match the
revision levels of all I/O modules, including your module. Failure to do so may not
prevent the application from working but may defeat the purpose of upgrading your
modules revision levels.
(1) Minor revisions are incremented by single counts such that minor level 10 (major.minor revision level = 1.10) follows minor revision
level 9 (1.9).
With module inhibiting, you can indefinitely suspend a connection between
an owner-controller and a module. This process can occur in the following
way:
•
You write configuration for a module but inhibit the module to prevent it
from communicating with the owner-controller. In this case, the owner-
controller does not establish a connection and configuration is not sent
to the module until the connection is uninhibited.
The following examples are instances where you may need to use module
inhibiting:
•
You want to FLASH upgrade your module. We recommend you:
a. Inhibit the module.
b. Perform the upgrade.
c. Uninhibit the module.
•
You are using a program that includes a module that you do not
physically possess yet, but you do not want the controller to continually
look for a module that does not exist yet. In this case, you can inhibit the
module in your program until it physically resides on the network.
You can inhibit your module on the Connection tab in Studio 5000 Logix
Designer, as shown in the example.
