default settings after a power outage

[jhackl]

I am using FP2000 with the FP-DO-403 output module. Upon losing power, the module resets itself and turns every output on, or true. How can I change the default setting to false when the module restarts after losing power?

Since you cannot programatically choose your powerup states, you may want to use inverters externally on select lines to make sure that they are not high when power is restored. In case you use inverters, make sure to change your logic in your code to makeup for the external inversion.

Using Measurement and Automation Explorer, go to Remote Systems >> (FP-2000 IP Address) >> FP-2000 @0 Bank >> FP-DO-403 @(address), then click on the Channel Configuration tab. You can individually set each output channel to its desired power-up state. Please note that there will be a delay from power-on to the setting of the channel state. This is due to the OS Boot time on the FP-2000, and will vary based upon software revision.
