NrioModule actions

Each NrioModule has three right-click actions, as shown for the Nrio16Module in the following image.

These actions are summarized as follows:

  • Ping

    Sends an immediate ping message to the I/O device to verify “health”, identical to a periodic ping from the driver’s Monitor mechanism.

  • Wink Device

    Causes a specific digital output (relay output) to cycle On and Off at a once per second rate for the specified wink duration, as configured by the NrioModule’s properties. It is generally recommended that you hide the winkDevice action after initial configuration—to prevent inadvertent load cycling.

  • Clear Totals

    Resets the accumulated Total value for all CounterInputPoints to zero (0), equivalent to invoking the “Reset” command on each point’s ProxyExt. Often, you may wish to hide this action to prevent inadvertent resets of point totals.
