Set IOChannel

type

Specify the type of digital output:

zSink—Specifies that the channel will be grounded when active.

zSource—Specifies that the channel will provide voltage when active.

zSink and Source—Specifies that channel will be grounded when it is inactive and will provide voltage when it is active.

The default is Sink.

active-signal-width

How long the channel output will be active during the pulse mode. Valid values are 1-9999 x 100 ms. The default is 100 ms.

inactive-signal-width

How long the channel output will remain inactive during pulse mode. Valid values are 1-9999 x 100 ms. The default is 100 ms.

failsafe-action

When there has been no I/O activity within the specified time (set in the Global Settings) and the Failsafe Timer is triggered, you can set the Failsafe Action to:

zNone—The state of the Digital/Relay output remains the same, no change.

zActivate Output—Activates the output.

zDeactivate Output—Deactivates the output.

output

Specify how the channel Digital output will be handled:

zManual—You must manually activate and deactivate the output.

zPulse—When the output is activated, this configuration will cause the output to pulse (go active and inactive) at a configured rate.

zInactive-to-ActiveDelay—The channel output will remain inactive for the specified time interval after it is manually started.

zActive-to-InactiveDelay—The channel output will go inactive after the specified time interval after it is manually started.

The default is Manual.

pulse

When the Output is Pulse, you can have it pulse in a Continuous manner or specify a pulse Count (each count consists of an active/inactive sequence). The default is Continuous.

active-to-inactive-delay

When the I/O is commanded to an inactive state, this is the length of the delay before the command is executed. Valid values are 1-9999 x 100 ms. The default is 100 ms.

inactive-to-active-delay

When the I/O is commanded to an active state, this is the length of the delay before the command is executed. Valid values are 1-9999 x 100 ms. The default is 100 ms.
