Set IOChannel

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.

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.

Set IOChannel Analog (True Analog)
