6.10.1 Introduction
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a powerful tool to generate triggers and software
interrupts. A functional diagram of the PLC tool is shown in Fig. 6.4. THE PLC tool is described
in detail with many examples in the [PLC] manual which is included in the PFInstaller.

Figure 6.4: PLC functional overview
The simpliest application of the PLC is to connect a PLC input to a PLC output. The connection
of the ISO_IN0 input to the PLC_Q4 camera trigger is given as an example. The resulting
configuration is shown in Section 6.10.2.
1. Identify the PLC notation of the desired input in Fig. 6.4. In our example, ISO_IN0 maps to
A0 or Line0.
2. Select a Signal Routing Block (SRB) that has a connection to the desired PLC input and
connect it to the PLC input. In our example, SRB PLC_I0 will be used as it has a connection
