How to modify the Task parameter of a discrete module
At a Glance This parameter defines the processor task in which inputs are acquired and outputs are updated.
The task is defined for 8 consecutive channels.
Note: If the module consists of a number of inputs which is not a multiple of 8, the last group will be made up of a number of channels between 1 and 7.
The possible choices are as follows: l l l the the
MAST
FAST
None
task
task
if the group of channels is not used.
It is advisable to deconfigure the groups of channels not used in the application. As a result, even if no connector is connected, the module will not indicate a fault.
Note: This parameter can only be modified in local mode.
Procedure The table below shows the procedure for defining the type of task assigned to the channels of a module.
Step
1
2
Action
Access the hardware configuration screen of the required module.
In the pull-down menu located in the Task column, click on the button for the required group of channels.
Result : a pull-down list appears.

Note : For discrete modules with more than 16 channels, use the scrollbar to access the different groups of channels.
Select the required task.
Note : Selecting None causes the group of channels in question and the following groups to be deconfigured, after the modification is confirmed.
Reconfiguration ( MAST or FAST selection) of a group of deconfigured channels will, after the modification is confirmed, cause the preceding nonconfigured groups to be reconfigured.
Confirm the deconfiguration or reconfiguration if necessary.

How to modify the Monitoring the external supply parameter for a discrete module
At a Glance
Procedure
This parameter defines the status (activated or deactivated) of external supply fault monitoring.
It works on groups of 16 consecutive channels.
By default checking is active (box checked).
The table below shows the procedure for activating or deactivating the Monitoring external supply fault function.
Step
1
2
Action
Access the hardware configuration screen of the required module.
For the required group of channels, click on the check box situated in the
Supply fault monitoring column.
Note: For discrete modules with more than 16 channels, use the scrollbar to access the different groups of channels.
