DI: To configure the digital input device, define the active level and trigger interval of the
DI. The default Active Level is
“
0
”
, which means the DI device remains inactive unless
triggered. A good example is a
“
panic button
”
, which always stays in inactive mode
“
0
”
until the button is pressed; when the button is pressed, its active level becomes
“
1
”
which means the DI is triggered. Active level
“
1
”
returns back to
“
0
”
(inactive mode)
after the specified Interval. The Interval is the duration of time when the trigger
remains in active mode which is also the minimum time interval between the previous
trigger and the next. For example, if the interval is set to
“
5 seconds
”
, the DI will not
respond if the
“
panic button
”
is pressed within 3 seconds after the previous trigger. To
issue another trigger, press the button after 5 seconds from the previous trigger.
DO: To configure the digital output device, define the active level and response interval.
The default Active Level is
“
1
”
, which means the DO will turn to active mode and
respond once triggered. The duration of its response will last according to the set
Interval. A good example is an alarm siren, wherein the siren will start sounding only
when it is triggered by an event or another device like a DI. The siren will stop sounding
once the set interval time elapsed.
