The Telemetry section sets up the RIO for IO-IO broadcasting and fail safe applications.
Broadcast Interval | The desired interval at which the RIO will transmit the state of any inputs on the IO bus. |
Force Broadcast | Send a message on the interval even if there are no modules with inputs present. |
Broadcast On Change | Send a message if there is a change in the state of an input on the IO bus. |
Analog Threshold | The amount of change required in an analog input to trigger a broadcast. For a 4-20mA transmitter 262 is approximately 1% of full scale. 0 to disable. |
Enable IO Broadcast | Include this module when sending and receiving Telemetry messages. |
Module Type | Type of output module at the indicated address. If 'DO8' or 'AO4' is selected, then a non 0 fail value can be selected. |
Enable Fail safe | Enable fail safe operation for the selected module address. |
Fail Value | Value to set the output to if the fail safe timeout occurs. |
Timeout | The period of time without an update before the module fail safe is activated. |
