MDrivePlus Motion Control Digital Input Functions
The MDrivePlus Motion Control inputs may be interfaced to a variety of sinking or sourcing devices. An input
may be programmed to be a general purpose user input, or to one of nine dedicated input functions. These may
then be programmed to have an active state of either HIGH or LOW.
The inputs are configured using the "S" Variable (See MDrive Motion Control Sofware Reference Manual for
precise details on this command). The command is entered into the IMS terminal or program file as S<IO
point>=<IO Type>,<Active State><Sink/Source>.
Example:
S9=3,1,0
S3=0,0,1
