NPN input

This setup example uses the hardware configuration shown in the illustration labeled A on the right. In this example case, we will assume that we need a PLC output to stop the motion of an axis due to an event elsewhere in the system. Thus we will configure I/O point 1 as a Soft Stop Input which will activate when LOW.

The command:

will set I/O1 to function as we desire:

• S1=: setup I/O 1
• 5: Soft Stop input function
• 0: Active when LOW
• 0: Sinking input type

Switch input

In this example case we will assume a linear actuator is needing positive and negative limit switches. We will use I/O3 as the positive limit and I/O4 as the negative limit.

The commands:

will set I/O 3 and 4 to function as we desire:

• S3=: setup I/O 3
• 2: Positive Limit input function
• 0: Active when LOW
• 0: Sinking input type

• S4=: setup I/O 4
• 3: Negative Limit input function
• 0: Active when LOW
• 0: Sinking input type

Inductive load output

In this example case we will configure a sinking output. When active, the output will open a relay which will de-energize another part of the system on an error or fault.

The command:

will set I/O 2 to function as we desire:

• S2=: setup I/O 2
• 18: Fault/Error output function
• 1: Active when HIGH
• 0: Sinking output type

LED output

In this example case we will configure an output to illuminate a LED indicator when the axis is in motion.

The command:

will set I/O 1 to function as we desire:

• S1=Moving output function
• 0: Active when LOW
• 0: Sinking output type
