Application 2997 Slave Mode
Overview
Application 2997 is the slave mode application for Laboratory Controller Module. Slave
mode is the default application that opens when power is first applied to the controller.
A controller in default state can also be used as a point extension device by unbundling
spare I/O points at the field panel.
Using Auxiliary Points
It is possible to have extra points available in addition to those in use and/or reserved
by the application running in the controller. If these extra points are to be controlled by
a field panel, then they must be unbundled at the field panel.
Using the Controller as a Point Extension Device
If the controller is used only as a point extension device, with no control application in
effect, its application must be set to slave mode and points must be unbundled at the
field panel. All points must be controlled from the field panel in order to be used.
