11.. . APPENDIX A: MASTER ICON REFERENCE

EVENT INPUT ICON (DIGITAL I/O WITH MLIM-2)

FUNCTION:

An Event / Counter / Frequency input and Digital output functions are all provided with the MLIM-2. Four channels can be configured on an individual basis as Frequency, Event, or Counter type Inputs and four separate channels are available for Digital Output. With the MLIM-2 installed in a OMP-MODL, these respective function icons become available for use in Program Nets.

As an EVENT input, the icon samples the state of the User connected hardware input signal (HI or LO) each time an Update command is received. The icon output state is updated when the input state changes.

The same dialog is used to configure the channel for Event, Frequency, and Counter functions.

INPUTS:

Hardware: No signal input shown on icon for Program Net connections.

Update: The input is sampled every time an Update command is received on the Update input. If the input state has changed since the last Update command was received, the Output is updated with the new state. The absolute time resolution of the state change is determined by the frequency of the Update command. For example, if an Update command is received every second, the state change will be recorded with one second resolution.

Enable: Processing of the icon is allowed when Enable pin is unconnected or connected and the Enable signal is TRUE.

OUTPUTS:

Output Signal:

Logic type signal
