For fixed and configurable inputs/outputs, see
Input and Output Signals on page 159
.
Sample Motion Wiring Configuration on 2080-LC30-xxQVB / 2080-LC50-xxQVB /
for reference.
The next sections provide a more detailed description of the motion components. You can also
see the Connected Components Workbench Online Help for more information about each
motion function block and their variable inputs and outputs.
Input and Output Signals
Multiple input/output control signals are required for each motion axis, as described in the
next tables. PTO Pulse and PTO Direction are required for an axis. The rest of the input/outputs
can be disabled and reused as regular I/O.
These I/O can be configured through the axis configuration feature in Connected Components
Workbench. Any outputs assigned for motion should not be controlled in the user program.

IMPORTANT
If an output is configured for motion, then that output can no longer be
controlled or monitored by the user program and cannot be forced. For
example, when a PTO Pulse output is generating pulses, the
corresponding logical variable IO_EM_DO_xx will not toggle its value and
will not display the pulses in the Variable Monitor but the physical LED
will give an indication.
If an input is configured for motion, then forcing the input only affects
the user program logic and not motion. For example, if the input Drive
Ready is false, then the user cannot force Drive Ready to true by forcing
the corresponding logical variable IO_EM_DI_xx to be true.
