Using CONFIG_C to Configure I/O

4.5 Using CONFIG_C to Configure I/O
The default IO Blox signal configuration, or mapping, is shown in Table 4-2 on page 42 .
This configuration is usually sufficient for most installations. If you need to add more I/O
or change the mapping, perform the steps below.
When changing the signal mapping, keep the following points in mind.
• By default, V+ allocates signal input/output signal ranges for four IO Blox devices
per block even if less than four IO Blox devices are installed (see Table 4-2 on
page 42 ).
• By default, V+ allocates certain input/output signal ranges to various other types
of I/O devices, such as optional sDIO modules. To avoid conflicts, do not map
signals for IO Blox I/O to signals used by other I/O devices. In general, specify
signal ranges above the default ranges used by other I/O devices. See Figure 4-12
on page 48 for the default signal input ranges for other I/O devices. See your robot
documentation for additional information.
• Map 8 available input signals and 8 available output signals per each IO Blox
device. Also, map multiple, daisy-chained IO Blox devices to consecutive input
and output signal numbers, respectively. For example, map input signals for the
first IO Blox to 1113-1120, input signals for the second IO Blox to 1121-1128, and so
on; map output signals for the first IO Blox to 0105-0112, output signals for the
second IO Blox to 0113-0120, and so on (these are the default signals).
NOTE:
After using CONFIG_C to map I/O signals for IO Blox devices,
you must run the DC_SETUP program to assign the correct digital I/O
blocks. See Section 4.4 on page 43 .
This procedure provides the basic steps for using the CONFIG_C program to map I/O
signals.
