Fault Clearing
From this display, all faults currently present in the remote drop can be cleared by
pressing the Clear key. However, this has no effect on the PLC’s fault table, or the fault
contacts associated with the remote drop, which are also located in the controlling
PLC. Clearing faults in this manner is therefore practical only when operating a
remote drop off–line. When on–line, all fault clearing should be performed from the
central PLC to keep the entire system in step, and up–to–date.
