12 ControlNet Ex Redundant Media Adapter
ControlNet Ex Adapter Operation
The ControlNet Ex adapter, combined with FLEX Ex output modules,
provides a two-tier fault state mechanism. It is important to consider and
understand the operation of this mechanism when designing your system.
Two sets of programmable fault states are available, one each in the adapter
and output module. This two-tier method is meant to give you a wider fault
coverage compared with normal methods.
Network Communication Monitoring
The adapter is the primary monitor of network activity. If it detects loss of
network communication, it can be programmed to:
• continue writing the last valid received data to the module (hold last
state).
• apply local module safe states.
• write a programmable fault state value to the module, depending upon
the module type.
This mechanism primarily targets fault behavior for loss of network
communication.
Program Mode Behavior
The adapter also monitors the state of the controlling processor or scanner.
Two states can be detected: Run mode and Program mode (idle).
When run mode is detected, the adapter writes the output data received from
the processor to the corresponding module output.
When Program mode is detected, the adapter can be configured to:
• continue writing the last valid received data to the module (hold last
state).
• apply local module safe states to zero.
• write a programmable fault state value to the module, depending upon
the module type.

Safe States.

ControlNet Ex Redundant Media Adapter 13
FLEX Ex Output Module Operation
Refer to the following communication monitoring and power-up state
behavior.
Flexbus Communication Monitoring
The module monitors flexbus communication activity and the state of its
Output Enable bit. If it detects loss of flexbus communication activity or the
Output Enable bit transitioning to 0, it can be programmed to:
• continue writing the last valid received data to the outputs (hold last
state).
• reset the outputs.
• write the local module fault state value to the output, depending upon
the module type.
This mechanism primarily targets fault behavior for loss of backplane
communication.
Power-up State Behavior
The system and modules use the Output Enable bit at system power-up. The
power-up state of the Output Enable bit is 0 and must be transitioned to 1
through application program control to initialize activity of a module’s
outputs.
Before the Output Enable bit is transitioned to 1, module outputs remain off.
Once the initial power-up and application-program control transitions the
Output Enable bit to 1, and module output activity begins, subsequent
transitions of the Output Enable bit by any source will cause the output
module to apply the local module fault state.
