Local Frequency Input Channel (Di_Frequency); Internal Timer (Timer); Local Counter Input Channel (Di_Counter); Local Digital Input Channel (Di) - Advantech ADAM-6217 User Manual

ADAM-6200 analog input module features Scaling function to convert the voltage (or
current) value to the engineer unit value. For example, that's say the condition is if
the pressure value is more than or equal to 2.5 kg/cm2. Without scaling function, you
need to convert the pressure value (2.5 kg/cm2) to the current value (8 mA). Then
you enter the current value 8 mA in the Value text box of the Operation area to define
the condition.
Actually, you don't need to transfer the pressure value to current value by yourself.
You can enable the scaling function by clicking the Scaling checkbox in the Operation
area. Then enter the minimum and maximum value for the engineer unit in the Min
and Max text box of the Scale to item, to build relationship between the voltage (or
current) value and the engineer unit value. For example here, you should enter 0 and
10 as the minimum and maximum pressure value. Since ADAM-6200 module can
automatically transfer the pressure value to the current value, you just need to enter
the pressure value, 2.5 kg/cm2, into the Value text box to define the condition. This
functionality can help you to configure the condition more intuitively.

Local Digital Input Channel (DI)

After you choose DI as input mode, select the channel by the Channel combo box.
The value of the selected digital input channel will directly be the input of condition. If
the condition is set as True, when value of the selected DI channel is logic high, the
condition result is logic True. Otherwise, if the condition is set as False, when the
value of DI channel is logic low, the condition result is logic True.

Local Counter Input Channel (DI_Counter)

After you choose DI_Counter as input mode, select the channel by the Channel
combo box. The count value of the selected counter input channel will directly be the
input of condition. Like the Analog Input condition, select the appropriate condition for
that input channel by the Condition combo box and the Value text box (unit: 0.1Hz).
The condition will compare the value read from the counter input channel with the
value set by the Value text box. If condition is satisfied, the condition result is logic
True. Otherwise, the condition result is logic False.

Local Frequency Input Channel (DI_Frequency)

After you choose DI_Frequency as input mode, select the channel by the Channel
combo box. The frequency value of the frequency input channel will directly be the
input of condition. Like the Counter Input condition, select the appropriate condition
for that input channel by the Condition combo box and the Value text box. The condi-
tion will compare the frequency value read from the frequency input channel and the
value set by the Value text box. If condition is satisfied, the condition result is logic
True. Otherwise, the condition result is logic False.

Internal Timer (Timer)

There are 16 local timers on one ADAM-6200 module. After the timer is started, its
value represents how long the time has passed. Here, you can read the timer value
and use it as input condition. After you choose Timer as input mode, select appropri-
ate timer by the Index combo box.(From timer 0 to timer 15) Then you can define the
condition by the Condition combo box and the Value text box (unit: 0.01 second).
Only when the condition is met, the condition result is logic High. For example, if you
choose >= in the Condition combo box and type 500 in the Value text box, it means
the condition result will remain logic Low until the timer value is greater 5 second
(meaning 5 second is passed).
After 5 seconds is passed, the condition result will become logic High.
