I/O response time
The time required for an output signal to be sent from the PLC in response to
an input signal received from an external device.
I/O Terminal
A Remote I/O Unit connected in a Wired Remote I/O System to provide a lim-
ited number of I/O points at one location. There are several types of I/O Termi-
nals.
I/O Unit
The most basic type of Unit mounted to a Backplane. I/O Units include Input
Units and Output Units, each of which is available in a range of specifications.
I/O Units do not include Special I/O Units, Link Units, etc.
I/O verification error
An error generated by a disagreement between the Units registered in the I/O
table and the Units actually mounted to the PLC.
I/O word
A word in the CIO Area that is allocated to a Unit in the PLC System and is used
to hold I/O status for that Unit.
IBM PC/AT or compatible
A computer that has similar architecture to, that is logically compatible with,
and that can run software designed for an IBM PC/AT computer.
initialize
Part of the startup process whereby some memory areas are cleared, system
setup is checked, and default values are set.
input
The signal coming from an external device into the PLC. The term input is often
used abstractly or collectively to refer to incoming signals.
input bit
A bit in the CIO Area that is allocated to hold the status of an input.
Input Block
A Unit used in combination with a Remote Interface to create an I/O Terminal.
An Input Block provides mounting positions for replaceable relays. Each relay
can be selected according to specific input requirements.
input device
An external device that sends signals into the PLC System.
input point
The point at which an input enters the PLC System. Input points correspond
physically to terminals or connector pins.
input signal
A change in the status of a connection entering the PLC. Generally an input
signal is said to exist when, for example, a connection point goes from low to
high voltage or from a nonconductive to a conductive state.
Input Terminal
An I/O Terminal that provides input points.
instruction
A direction given in the program that tells the PLC of the action to be carried
out, and the data to be used in carrying out the action. Instructions can be used
to simply turn a bit ON or OFF, or they can perform much more complex ac-
tions, such as converting and/or transferring large blocks of data.
interface
An interface is the conceptual boundary between systems or devices and usu-
ally involves changes in the way the communicated data is represented. Inter-
face devices such as NSBs perform operations like changing the coding,
format, or speed of the data.
interrupt (signal)
A signal that stops normal program execution and causes a subroutine to be
run or other processing to take place.
Interrupt Input Unit
A Rack-mounting Unit used to input external interrupts into a PLC System.
IOIF
An acronym for I/O Interface Unit.
