Setting up digital inputs and outputs mapping
To access the digital inputs and output mapping, open the menu PlugIn control > Configure PoKeys
{your serial number}.
The following dialog will appear
First column displays a list of all inputs or outputs, available on your PoKeys device. Use the tree
structure to navigate between different peripherals and their IO pins.
The second column displays the pin function. If the pin is assigned a special function, a description of
this function will be displayed. If multiple special functions are assigned, a red 'Conflict' warning will
be displayed.
Third column (available for digital inputs and outputs) enables selection of mapping to Mach3 OEM
LEDs. If the pin function is set to 'Input', this mapping will enable setting of Mach3 OEM LED state
based on PoKeys IO pin state. If the pin function is set to 'Output', Mach3 OEM LED state will be
reflected to PoKeys IO pin state.
Fourth column (available only for digital inputs) enables selection of IO mapping to Mach3 OEM
buttons. When PoKeys IO pin is triggered, the selected Mach3 OEM button will be triggered also.
Fifth column (available for digital inputs and outputs) enables selection of mapping to/from Mach3
IOs (outputs, such as spindle relay, vacuum, … used internally by Mach to control different external
devices and inputs, such as limit, home switches, … used internally by Mach to detect the status of
the machine) and Mach3 IODevice inputs and outputs (accessible via VBScript).
