Virtual inputs and outputs

In addition to the real digital inputs and outputs there are 16 virtual inputs and 16 virtual outputs on
each PMCprimo Drive2 system.
The virtual inputs and outputs don't have any terminals. But all input and output commands are
available (see PMCprimo programming manual).
9.12.1

Terms

Virtual inputs: E3:1 – E3:8 / E4:1 – E4:8
Virtual outputs (O2:1 – O2:8) / O3:1 – O3:8 / O4:1 – O4:8
The virtual inputs an outputs are connected (internal) together as shown below:
Outputs O2:x to input E3:x
Outputs O3:x to input E3:x
Outputs O4:x to input E4:x
9.12.2

Application example

You define a position output on the virtual output (e.g.0.3:2).
If you define an input function on input 0.3:2, this program will be executed each time the output
0.3:2 is set. You don't need any wiring!
For further details see PMCprimo programming manual.
