REGISTER 16 – CONFIGURATION OF THE DIGITAL INPUTS

Only bit 0 is used.

Bit 0 in 0 - Input 1 operates as normal counter input

Bit 0 in 1 - Input 1 operates as fast counter input. Debounce for input 1 is ignored

REGISTER 17 – PRESET, INHIBITING AND SELECTING THE MARGIN OF THE COUNTERS

Preset: When setting the bit corresponding to the input, the counter of that input will assume the value in the respective
register as preset value of the counts (registers 26 to 33). After that, the bit will be reset to zero automatically.

Inhibition:

Bit in 0 - Count enabled

Bit in 1 - Count disabled (suspended)

Selection of margin:

Bit in 0 - Count at the positive margin (0 for 1)

Bit in 1 - Count at the negative margin (1 for 0)

REGISTERS 34 TO 58 – TAGS

DigiRail features some identification Tags, where characters can be written in order to help identifying the device and its
inputs:

- Identification tag of the device (10 characters).

- Identification tag of the input points (10 characters for each input).

REGISTER 59 – PULSE COUNTING INTERVAL TIME

Time interval on which input pulses are totalized and stored on registers 63 to 70. This time is in 0.1 seconds units, e.g.,
a value of 10 means a 1 second interval. When we configure a 1 second interval, the counting will be in Hertz (Hz -
pulses per second). When we configure this interval to zero, the counting is disabled.

REGISTER 60 – PEAK PULSE COUNTING INTERVAL TIME

Time interval on which input pulses are totalized and, in case they are bigger than the current value, they are stored on
registers 71 to 78. This time is in 0.1 seconds units, e.g., a value of 10 means a 1 second interval. When we configure
this interval to zero, this feature is disabled.

REGISTER 62 – DIGIRAIL MODEL

Provides the code of the DigiRail model. Internally used by the DigiConfig software.
