4.2.1 Input Descriptions

Each of the input elements has Configuration settings of Contact types and others. It is
recommended to configure them immediately once the input elements are assigned to a pin.
Contact Type
The Contact Type can be Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.).
Normally Open – The input is asserted when applying 24 VDC to the 24 VDC connector input
pin.
Normally Closed – The input is asserted when removing the 24 VDC from the 24 VDC
connector input pin.
Sourcing Inputs (NPN type)
If Pin-15 is wired to Pin-2 to supply the inputs, a connection to the 24 V return must be applied to
assert the input. The return from the load must be wired to Pin-1.
Sinking Inputs (PNP type)
If Pin-1 is wired to Pin-2 to supply the inputs, a connection to 24 V must be applied to assert the
input. The return from the load must be wired to Pin-15.
Inputs Description
IGNORED The pin that is assigned as IGNORE means the input does nothing when asserted. This is
essentially a spare input.
START When asserted, the tool starts and runs the currently selected job. This input is overridden by
the STOP input. If STOP is used and a tool restart is required, remove the STOP, remove
the START, then re-assert the START. If the tool is required to operate in Disassembly
mode, remove the START, assert the REVERSE input, and then re-assert the START.
When removed the tool stops. Even if a second START input is active, the tool stops when
any START is removed.
The size of this input function is 1 bit.
Configuration:
Contact Type
Latch: This is applicable to external inputs only. This is not applicable to the trigger on
the tool handle.
Yes – when selected causes the START input to latch internally after a time period has
elapsed. This means the physical START input can be removed without stopping the
tool. The tool will run until the currently active Job is complete or times out. A TIME
parameter becomes available to set how long the START input must be applied, in
seconds, before the Latch becomes active.
No – when selected turns the Latch function off.
