Physical and Soft Outputs
The module provides 4 physical outputs. You select whether these
outputs are to be activated from the user program or from the module
in response to specified input events (refer to Output Source Select
M0:e.0/0-7). The states of these 4 Physical Outputs are available to the
user program in the Output Status field (I:e.4/8-11).
In addition to the Physical Outputs, 4 Soft Outputs are available. Soft
Outputs appear in the Outputs Status field (I:e.4/12-15). They do not
have a physical output associated with them, but can be used as event
flags in the user program.
Output Status field
The Range Outputs (Range and Rate Mode) and Step Outputs
(Sequencer Mode) fields contain the output patterns that are applied
to the Physical and Soft Outputs.
When the count is within a Valid Range (Range and Rate Mode), or
Valid Step (Sequencer Mode), the corresponding output pattern is
applied to the Output Status field (I:e.4/8-15) and the modules output
terminals.
For example, in Range Mode, when the count is within Range 2, the
Range 2 Outputs field is applied to the Output Status field (I:e.4/8-15)
and output terminals.
