DMC-1400 Series Command Reference CO ● 57
CO FUNCTION: Configure Outputs
DESCRIPTION:
The CO command configures the extended I/O in blocks of 8.
ARGUMENTS: CO n where
n is a decimal value which represents a binary number. Each bit of the binary number
represents one block of extended I/O. When set to 1, the corresponding block is
configured as an output.
The least significant bit represents block 2 and the most significant bit represents block 9.
The decimal value can be calculated by the following formula. n = n2 + 2*n3 + 4*n4 +
8*n5 +16* n6 +32* n7 +64* n8 +128* n9 where nx represents the block. To configure a
block as an output block, substitute a one into that nx in the formula. If the nx value is a
zero, then the block of 8 I/O points will be configured as an input. For example, if block
3 and 4 is to be configured as an output, CO 6 is issued.
