The IOS variable has three parameters when used to configure the isolated digital I/O. These are:

1]

I/O Line Type: Specifies the the type of I/O that the line or group will be configured

 

as, i.e. general purpose or dedicated function.

2]

I/O Line Function: Either an input or an output.

3]

Active State: Specifies whether or not the line will be active HIGH or active LOW.

The default configuration of the standard I/O set is: 0,0,1. This means that by default each line in group 20 is configured to be a General Purpose (0), Input (0), which is active when HIGH (1). The following figure and exercises illustrate possible configurations of the IOS.

IOS XX = X , X , X

To configure an entire I/O Group enter the

Group # (20, 30, 40 or 50) here!

To configure an individual I/O Line enter the Line # (21-26, 31-36, 41-46, or 51-56) here!
