Hey guys, got a little situation here which i am not sure if its something viable.
We are using a 16 slot chassis with 7 IB8 input cards and 8 OB8E output cards. The 7 last output cards are powered by the DC power supply expansion module and power contactors in order to drive some motors which do not need drives in this situation.
When the safety relay is engaged, it cuts power to the expansion module effectively shutting down the output cards that drive the motors. The safety reset relay is powered by the output card directly to the left of the expansion module so it stays on.
The issue I am getting is that the 1734-AENT falls into a fault status code 16#0010 which makes sense as it does not see all the modules designated by the chassis size anymore.
Is there any way to make this configuration work or does those modules being shut down will always cause the Point IO to fault out?
