RIO_scanner_group_output[group, address, total signals in group,
optional mask]
SLC Bit Group Output
Use the SLC_bit_group_output function to directly specify SLC bit
output groups in an expression. This function is available only with 1394
motion controllers.
You define and select output groups using Tag Explorer (under SLC
Output Group Bit) and Tag Window. It is not necessary to use this
function to specify them directly.
Syntax:
SLC_bit_group_output[address, total signals in group, optional mask]
Argument Description
Group The starting group of the output (from 0 to 7) to be sent.
Address The address, or signal number (from 0 to 15), of the first signal from
which output is sent.
Total Signals in
Group The total number of consecutive signals comprising the group,
including any masked (or omitted) signals.
Optional Mask An integer representing the sum of the binary value of each group
output bit whose signal is sent, excluding—or masking—the binary
value of every group output bit whose signal is not sent. (See
Optional
Masks in the Group Input section.)
Argument Description
Address The address, or signal number (from 0 to 39), of the first signal from
which output is read.
Total Signals in
Group The total number of consecutive signals (from 1 to 16) comprising the
