Hello,
Recently I suggested we make HearBeat monitors for some equipment.
The HeartBeats I'm familiar with require jumpering an input on a plc input module to an output and writing some logic to test communication between the two.
Anyhow, I was told you don't need a jumper and can use status bits to set up an internal HeartBeat for these types of modules. When I asked how people just shrugged their shoulders.
