7.4.12 EXTERNAL Menu

One EXTERNAL INPUT module is available on each 53MC5000 Controller. This feature allows up to 24
data points to be read from or written to other controllers on a cyclic basis. When EXTERNAL is selected,
a table is displayed showing the current configuration for the external data points. The column headings in
the table identify the configurable parameters for each external data point. This table is shown below:
