Discrete I/O Assignments
9–6
You can assign more than one input signal from the Input Signals list to a
single discrete I/O input. For example, you could assign both Toolset
1.Trigger and Toolset 2.Trigger in Figure 9.3 (page Figure 9.3) to discrete
input “ In 0 ” in the Module I/O editor.
You can assign a trigger input signal to only one discrete I/O input. For
example, if you assign
Toolset 1.Trigger to discrete input “ In 0 ,” as shown
in Figure 9.3, and then assign that same input signal to another discrete I/O
input, it will be removed from “
In0 .”
To remove a trigger input signal from the discrete I/O editor, pick its name in
the
Inputs Signals list, then pick the button.
Bank Switch Input Selection
The Bank Switch input function is used to activate either cameras 1, 2, and
3 or cameras 4, 5, and 6. (Normally, this function should be assigned only to
the
System I/O panel, as an input, on one of lines 4 through 15. Lines 0
through 3 on the System I/O panel, and lines 0 and 1 on the Module I/O
panel should be reserved for trigger inputs. See Discrete Inputs: Interrupt
Processing vs Poll Processing on page 9–3 for details.)
DV Reset Input Selection
The DV Reset (data valid reset) input function is intended for operations in
which the CVIM2 system is connected to an Allen–Bradley PLC
 through
the Remote I/O front panel connection.
The DV Reset function is assigned as an output from the PLC in the
Remote I/O panel (an input to the CVIM2 system). It is one of the
“handshaking” signals used between the two systems. For details about its
use, refer to the CVIM2 Communications Reference Manual.
In1 – In8 Input Selections
Input selections In1 through In4 (or In1 through In8 if the “ tsin ”
environment variable is set to 08) can be configured as general purpose input
signals that can be used in math tool formulas and “
Condition ” selections in
the toolset edit panel. In a math tool formula, these inputs return a logic “1”
when active, and a logic “0” when inactive. In a
Condition selection, these
inputs, when active, enable the corresponding tool to execute, and when
inactive, prevent a tool from executing.
