Digital Outputs:
Figure 184 below shows the screen for
Digital Output
signals. The feedback is a readout of the status of
the output pin while the value column represents the commanded state. The Value and Feedback for each
output should match if the output is working properly. If these do not match, the output may be shorted or
overloaded or there may be not power signal applied to the appropriate digital output bank.
If the machine is not running, the outputs may be forced to a specific value by pressing the
Enable Output
Forcing
button in the bottom right of the screen. Note that any device connected to the output pin such as
a motor or valve will be toggled based on the values that are set in this mode. When output forcing is
enabled, pressing on the value column for a specific output will turn that output on or off.
Figure 184: Digital Output
Temperature Inputs:
The
Temperature Inputs
tab shows the raw and scaled values for each of the temperature probes
connected on the machine. As shown in Figure 185 below, the raw value for temperature is typically 1/10
th
of the actual value in °C while the scaled value is equivalent to °F. The PTC input is used to measure the
status of a thermal device in a motor. Raw resistance can be measured on these inputs. The example
below has the
PTC Status
toggled
ON
