VersiPort 1
Digital Output Mode
When a Versiport is operating in digital output mode, the output pin will be shorted
to ground on the rising edge of the corresponding <o> signal (switch S1-B in the
Versiport diagram will be closed). When <o> goes low, the output pin is driven to a
value of +5V (switch S1-B is open).
Driving the corresponding <pu-disable> signal high can modify this behavior. This is
not recommended, though, since it will cause the output pin to float when <o> goes
low.
Example 1 (recommended):
The <pu-disable1> signal is driven low or left undefined. When <o1> goes
low, Versiport 1 is at +5V. When <o1> goes high, Versiport 1 is shorted to
ground.
Example 2 (not recommended):
The <pu-disable1> signal is driven high. When <o1> goes low, Versiport
1 is floating. When <o1> goes high, Versiport 1 is shorted to ground.
Digital Input Mode
When a Versiport is operating in digital input mode, the corresponding <i> signal
will go high whenever the C2I-IO8 detects that the Versiport is shorted to ground
(threshold < +2.5V).
NOTE: Here, as with digital output mode, the corresponding pullup resistor should
be enabled. That is, <pu-disable> should be given the signal name 0 or left
undefined; otherwise the input will always read as logic low.
Example 3:
When Versiport 3 is shorted to ground, <i3> will go high. When Versiport 3
is not shorted to ground, <i3> will go low (so long as <pu-disable> equals
0 or is undefined).
