FM-3 Programming Module Reference Manual

Drive Input Debounce Time

DriveInput.#.DebounceTime

The Drive Input Debounce Time parameter is the minimum time a digital input must be steady in order to be recognized by the FM-3. This feature helps prevent false triggering in applications in electrically noisy environments.

Drive Input Force

DriveInput.#.Force

Input can be forced either On or Off. This parameter is the state to which the input will be forced when the ForceEnable bit is activated.

Drive Input Force Enable

DriveInput.#.ForceEnable

If DriveInput.#.ForceEnable parameter is activated, then the state of the DriveInput.#.Force bit will override the current input state.

Drive Input Name

DriveInput.#.Name

This is a text string up to 12 characters that can be assigned to a given input. It allows the user to use application specific terminology in naming digital inputs.

Drive Input Raw

DriveInput.#.Raw

This displays the raw state of the digital input without debounce or forcing to override the raw status.

Drive Input Status

DriveInput.#.Status

This source is the state of the input after debounce and forcing are taken into account.

Drive Output Force

DriveOutput.#.Force

A drive output can be forced either On or Off with this parameter. If the ForceEnable bit is activated, the DriveOutput.#.State will be set to this value.
