5-2 Output Grouping & Modes
Introduction to Groups & Modes (cont’d)
Group Programming PS-6144 output channels are divided into groups through OUTPUT GROUP program-
ming. Each group is automatically associated with one of the input terminals on TB 1,
Figure 7, as well as a special “Group Channel” ranging from Channel 91 to 96. The
relationship between groups, input terminals, and group channels is summarized in
Fig. 28.

5 13 95
6 14 96
When dividing outputs into groups, keep these rules in mind:
• Output channels are assigned to groups sequentially. Group 1 will begin with Output
Channel 1 and include the specified number of channels; Group 2 will begin with the
next output channel and continue sequentially for its specified number of channels;
and so on. The last group will automatically include all of the remaining output chan-
nels.
• You can establish as many as six groups or as few as one.
• More than one group can be assigned to the same mode.

Mode Assignments During OUTPUT GROUP programming, each group is assigned any one of six modes
of operation that control the interaction between the group, its input terminal, and its
group channel. Detailed discussions of each operating mode follow.
