LIO Info Tab
The fourth tab is the “LIO Info” tab. This tab brings up a
screen you can use to program and control the operation of
the 12 physical Logic Input/Output ports on each BLADE 3.
These ports are available on the two RJ-45 jacks on the rear
of the BLADE 3. Each of these 12 ports can be individually
defined as a logic input or a logic output, and can be mapped
to a number of different functions.
The LIO info tab is arranged as a table, with logic ports listed along the left side, and
attributes listed across the top. Each row, or line, therefore shows the logic settings for
a particular logic port. Recall that each BLADE 3 has twelve ports available; they are
named LIO 1 pin 2 through LIO 1 pin 7, representing the six logic ports available on the
first RJ-45 rear panel logic jack, and LIO 2 pin 2 through LIO 2 pin 7, representing the
six logic ports available on the second RJ-45 rear panel logic jack. The logic port names
not so subtly reflect the physical pin number of the logic jack, so it is easy to correlate
the GUI functions with the corresponding physical connection. These pin numbers have
been chosen so they mate up with some common Wheatstone auxiliary switch panels;
when they are used for logic outputs, power is available on pins 1 and 8.
The logic functions that have been programmed will appear in this table, giving you
an at-a-glance summary of the physical logic ports on the BLADE 3. In the row for a
particular port you will see whether it has been programmed as an input or an output,
the name of the logic function configured for the port (if one has programmed), the eight
character name (the one that appears on the crosspoint grid) you’ve given to the logic
signal, the salvo it has been programmed to fire, or the temporary XPoint connection it
has been programmed to trigger. Note that the three possible uses of the logic port are
mutually exclusive; a logic port can be programmed as a logic only signal for use in
connecting to other logic signals on the grid, or it can be programmed to fire a salvo, or
it can be programmed to trigger a connection. It can only do one of these things.
