Multiple PLC Interconnection Blocks
The multiple PLC interconnection block can receive up to two outputs from a second PLC.
Remote Control Inputs
The remote control inputs let you send inputs from your host computer to the video interface. You can
control this block using eBUS Player. You can configure each of the four control bits individually, or you
can apply individual settings for multiple control bits at one time using the
PlcCtrlValueAll
and
PlcCtrlValueMask
feature.
To configure a remote control input
1.
Start eBUS Player and connect to the video interface.
For more information, see the eBUS Player User Guide .
2.
Under Parameters and Controls, click Device control .
3.
Click Guru in the Visibility list.
4.
In the ControlBits section of the Plc category, select one of the inputs from the PlcCtrlSelector list.
5.
In the PlcCtrlValue list, click True to set the signal state to high, or False to set the signal state to
low.
To configure more than one remote control input at one time
1. In the
ControlBits
section of the
Plc
category, enter a value into the
PlcCtrlValueAll
box to indicate
the signal state to apply to each of the four control bit inputs.
For example, to set the
PlcCtrl0
and
PlcCtrl1
control bits to high while setting the
PlcCtrl2
and
PlcCtrl3
control bits to low, enter
0x3
.
To have the expected bit set, the corresponding bit in
PlcCtrlValueMask
should be set to
1
;
otherwise the bit state will not be changed.
2. In the
ControlBits
section of the
Plc
category, enter a formula into the
PlcCtrlValueMask
box.
For example, enter
0xF
to apply the
PlcCtrlValueAll
formula to all of the control bits.
Feedback Inputs
The feedback inputs accept signals from the advanced features, such as the timer, rescaler, delayer,
counters, and the action trigger and routes them through the signal routing block to the appropriate
outputs.
