to specify them directly.
Syntax:
SLC_bit_group_input[address, total signals in group, optional mask]
AxisLink Group Input
Use the AxisLink_group_input function to directly specify AxisLink
input groups in an expression.
You define and select input groups in the Tag Explorer (under AxisLink I/
O Input Group) and the Tag Window. It is not necessary to use this
function to specify them directly.
Syntax:
AxisLink_group_input[controller node, address, total signals in
group, optional mask]
Argument Description
Address The address or signal number (from 0 to 39) of the first signal whose output
is read.
Total Signals in
Group The total number of consecutive signals (from 1 to 16) comprising the
group, including any masked (or omitted) signals.
Optional Mask An integer representing the sum of the binary value of each group input bit
whose signal is read, excluding—or masking—the binary value of every
group input bit whose signal is not read. (See
Optional Masks in the Group
Input section.)
Argument Description
Controller Node The controller node on the link (from 0 to 15), from which output is
read.
