Digital I/O

Digital inputs are automatically mapped to certain places
and used within the program. Further custom mapping
such as an input to an output can be performed by the
user as desired. Mapping is performed by channel
numbers.
Digital Outputs and Digital Output Functions follow a
similar concept with Channels and Function names. The
term Digital Output refers to a physical output, and
setting up a Digital Output maps a Source to operate that
physical output. A Source can be a Digital Input called a
Physical Source, an internal control output (such as
"Crank") called a Control Source, or a Digital Output
Function. There are 48 possible channels an output can
be mapped to, but there are only 21 physical outputs on
the Main Controller. This is to allow for future expansion.
The term Digital Output Function (DOF) refers to a list of
possible program outputs which are not necessarily
needed for program operation, but could be useful to a
user. Up to 208 DOFs can be configured for use.

Digital Input (DI) Setup

See 3-58. Select the digital input channel to

Digital Output Function (DOF) Setup

To configure a digital output function channel:
Select an unused channel number by pressing the
1.
"Show Null Functions" button.
If selecting a User Config DOF, an Alternate Name

must also be provided.
Select "Apply Changes".

mapping a Digital Input Function to the Output.
Control Source is for mapping an internal control
signal to the Output. DOF is for mapping a Digital
Output Function to the Output.
Select the required function code (B).
4.
Check the "Enable" box (C) to enable the output.
5.
Check the "Invert" box (D) to invert the digital

polarity, if desired. "Invert" means the pin is
grounded when the output shows as "HIGH".
Click "Apply Changes" (E).
