Testing Di And Do Channels - Moxa Technologies ioLogik W5300 Series User Manual

ioLogik W5300
Relay Count Monitoring
Two types of relay counts can be recorded in the ioLogik W5340: Total Counts and Current Counts. Relay
Total Counts records the total number of times a relay output channel has been triggered in its lifetime. In
general, each relay output channel can be used an average of 100,000 times. Users can monitor these counts
to see when the module should be replaced, or to switch to a different channel if the total count approaches the
upper limit.
Current Counts
allows the counter to
be reset to zero so
that relay triggers may be measured in batches. For example, if RLY-0 is connected to an external relay control
board, you can monitor the current counts to see when to replace the external relay component before it fails.
Last Reset Time records the last time Current Counts was reset. Both Total Counts and Current Counts
will be saved when there is a power failure. The Last Reset Time will be saved whenever the user manually
presses the Reset to Zero button.
You can control how a digital output / relay output channel
acts when the network is disconnected by navigating to
the Watchdog tab in the main window panel and setting
the appropriate parameters in the Safe Status Settings
and the Host Connection Watchdog panels. When the
Host Connection Watchdog is enabled, a network
disconnection will activate a safe state. The DO channel
can be configured to turn on, turn off, or commence pulse
output during the safe state. If the Host Connection
Watchdog is not enabled, then the DO/Relay Output
channel status will remain unchanged during a network disconnection.
ATTENTION
The Host Connection Watchdog is disabled by default and must be enabled for Safe Status Settings to
take effect.

Testing DI and DO Channels

You can test each channel by opening the channel's configuration window (by clicking on its entry in the I/O
configuration panel in the main window) and selecting the Test tab.
Digital Input Test:
Use the Test panel to see how a channel's status affects or is affected by the attached device. For DO/Relay
Output channels, you can set the on/off status or start and stop pulse output. For DI channels, you can monitor
the attached device's on/off status, or monitor the counter.
