Producer/Consumer Model
Status Indicator Information

Your module provides both a hardware and software indication when a
module fault occurs. The module's status indicators and Studio 5000 Logix
Designer display each fault and include a fault message describing the nature
of the fault.
This feature allows you to determine how the fault affects your module and
what action you should take to resume normal operation. For more
information on how to use hardware and software indicators when a module
fault occurs, see

Studio 5000 Logix Designer software uses a custom, easily understood
interface to write configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled
through the I/O configuration portion of the software.
You can also use the software to interrogate your module to retrieve:
•
Serial number
•
Revision information
•
Product code
•
Vendor identification
•
Error/fault information
•
Diagnostic counters.
By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and jumpers, the
software makes module configuration easier and more reliable.
By using the Producer/Consumer model, modules can produce data without
having been polled by a controller first. The module produces the data and the
owner-controller device consumes it.
Each module has Status Indicators on the front of the module that allows you
to check the module health and operational status.

module fault occurs, see
