Chapter 9 Connected Components Workbench Software
Figure 106 - GPIO Overview
shows an example of the General Purpose Input Output
selections. The Connected Components Workbench software automatically
determines the available pins on the connection [1] and cascading [2] plug-ins.
A message [3] is displayed to show whether mandatory configuration points
are selected. When complete, the message background turns from red to
green.
The subconfiguration setup automatically determines the available selections.
This selection is a four-sensor muting example with two subconfigurations.
The connection plug-in has three I/O and the cascading plug-in has three I/O
(inputs or outputs) and two I (inputs).
The selection for IO_1 shows seven mandatory inputs. Three of the mandatory
inputs have white boxes. At least two of the three mandatory inputs must be
assigned to the connection plug-in. The third mandatory input can be assigned
to the connection or cascading plug-in. The four mandatory muting sensors
are disabled as these sensors can only be assigned on the cascading plug-in.
With eight potential I/O and seven mandatory inputs, one of the I/O can be
used for the optional inputs or outputs.
