I/O Checkout Status

The I/O checkout status of each input and output can be found in the Inputs and Outputs view. Prior to the first I/O checkout, Status is New . The checkout statuses of all the inputs and outputs in a SmartX IP Controller device are displayed as the Checkout status of the controller, in the Device List view.

I/O Checkout Report

When you perform I/O checkout and select Save , an I/O checkout report is generated within the SmartX IP Controller. This report is saved to the Diagnostic Files in the Smartx IP controller and can be viewed from WorkStation onced the device is hosted.

Commissioning Log
