below we present short description of the most important.

Configuration of the input signals we call from
menu „ConfigPorts and Pins", by selecting „In-
put Signals" tab. A list of standard input signals
will appear and you can assign these signals to
hardware inputs of CSMIO/IP-S controller.
Columns explanation:
• Green tick means we are using the signal.
•
Red X cross means that we are not interested in that signal and it
should not be used
Input port number – for CSMIO/IP it is always port no. 10.
Pin number, means the CSMIO/IP input number, e.g. input no. 14 of the
controller we put here as a pin no. 14.
It does not mean a pin number on CSMIO/IP connector.
Signal polarization change, it is a selection whether the signal should be
active at 0V or at 24V.
Signal emulation with keyboard shortcut. In CSMIO/IP-S controller, only
some signals may be emulated: „THC On", „THC Up", „THC Dn" and
„Probe".
Keyboard shortcut for signal emulation.
Hardware signals of positive limits. A machine stops immediately
when one of the signals becomes active.
Hardware signals of negative limits. A machine stops immediately
when one of the signals becomes active.
Signals of axis homing.
Input signals for general use. They can be used e.g. in VisualBasic®
scripts.
Signals of a measurement probe, e.g. sensor of tool length meas-
urement sensor.
Index from a spindle for rotational/threading speed measurement.
Motion forcing, if one of LIMIT signals is active. It is useful to allow
for move back off the limit switch. If we are using Auto Limit Over-
ride function – this signal is useless.
Emergency stop. You should pay special attention to set this signal
correctly and test how it is functioning.
For plasma cutters. During plasma cutting a machine stops auto-
matically, when this signal becomes inactive.
