Two functions can be performed on the Input Lines view.

Name

You can assign a descriptive name to each input and make the setup easier to follow. The length of the text string is limited by the column width with a maximum of 12 characters. Simply double click on the Name field of any input line to assign a name to it.

Debounce

You can program a “Debounce Time” to any input line, which means the motion profile will need to be steady for at least the debounce time before it is recognized. This feature helps prevent false triggering in applications in noisy electrical environments. At the end of the debounce time, the next action can occur.
