Box Input Leg Labels
Some of the box instructions have their inputs labeled to help identify the function of that particular input.
The following is a list of the leg labels that are used in the software:
- (Auto / Manual)
- when this input is ON the instruction will be
set to Automatic Mode, when OFF the instruction will be set to Manual
Mode.
- (Data) -
when this input is ON a value of 1 will be available to the instruction,
when OFF a value of 0 will be available.
- (CTRIO: Direction)
- when this input is ON the CTRIO output will pulse in the clockwise direction,
when OFF the CTRIO output will pulse in the counter-clockwise direction.
- (Down) -
when this input transitions from OFF to ON it will cause the instruction
to count down.
- (Enable) -
when this input is ON the instruction is enabled.
- (Enable / Reset)
- when this input is ON the instruction will run and
when OFF the instruction to stop running and reset its status
data.
- (Forward) -
when this input is ON the Axis will begin moving in the clockwise
direction.
- (CTRIO: Go To Position)
- when this input transitions ON the CTRIO output will begin pulsing until
it reaches the Position value, turn this input back OFF to setup for additional
Go To Position requests.
- (Jog)
- this input will cause the instruction to advance to the next step.
- (Pause) -
this input will cause the instruction to stop executing but retain its
current status.
- (Reset) -
this input will cause the instruction to stop running and reset its status
data.
- (DRUM: Run) - when this input is ON the Drum instruction's
timer will run and / or it's events will be active, when OFF the Drum's
timer will stop running or events will not be monitored.
- (Reverse) -
when this input is ON the Axis will begin moving in the counter-clockwise
direction.
- (CTRIO: Suspend)
- when this input is ON the CTRIO output will stop sending output pulses,
when OFF the CTRIO output is able to send output pulses.
- (Up) -
this input will cause the instruction to count up.
- (Edge
Trigger) - this symbol denotes an input that requires a transition
from OFF to ON for the instruction to execute. If used in a Multi-scan or Fully-Asynchronous
instruction each time this input logic transitions from OFF to ON the
instruction will run to completion, even if the input logic goes OFF before
the operation is complete.
