Figure 128: Assignments View
Sources and Destinations are put into groups based on functionality. By expanding individual groups, you will see the individual
Sources or Destinations.
For example, if you expand the Inputs source group, you will see SPIO, SPInput, EZInput, and I/O Plus I/O if a module is used. You
can use these Source events to trigger certain actions (or destinations) on the right side of the view.
To make an assignment in the SM-EZ Motion module, you must assign a Source to a Destination. Any Source can be tied to any
Destination to create the desired system operation.
Creating An Assignment
Various methods can be used to assign a Source (such as SPInput.4) to a Destination (such as Index.0.Initiate).
Drag-and-Drop Method
Point to the Source, on the left, that is to be assigned to a Destination, on the right. Press and hold the left mouse button down, drag
the Source until the mouse pointer is positioned over the desired Destination and release the left mouse button.
Once the mouse button is release, the assignment is created. The view will update to show that the assignment was created. In the
Source side, the "Assigned To" column will show which Destination was assigned to the Source. In the Destination side, the "Set
From" column will show which Source has been assigned to it.
Destinations can also be dragged from right to left, over to Sources.
Assign Button Method
Select both the Source and Destination that are to be assigned to each other. Once both are selected, the Assign button in the
lower left corner of the view will become available. Click Assign to complete the assignment.
The view will update to show that the assignment was created. In the Source side, the "Assigned To" column will show which
Destination was assigned to the Source. In the Destination side, the "Set From" column will show which Source has been assigned
to it.
Any source can be assigned to up to ten different destinations maximum. Any destination can have as many sources as desired
assigned to it.
Deleting An Assignment
Delete Button Method
Select both the Source and Destination for the assignment to be deleted. Once both are selected, the Delete button in the lower left
corner will become available. Click Delete to remove the assignment.
Right-Click Method
Point to the specific assignment to be deleted and right-click. A shortcut menu appears, click Delete .
After either of these methods, the assignment will disappear. The "Assigned To" and "Set From" columns will no longer have any
data for the specific Source and Destinations assignment.
Assignment Polarity
The active state of an assignment can be programmed to be Active Off, Active On, or Custom using PowerTools Pro. Making an
assignment "Active On" means that the Destination will become active when the Source it is assigned to becomes active, and is
