5 PC Interface Configuration (PCI)
5.1 PC Interface (PCI) Overview
The PC Interface (PCI) is a computer program with real-time display and diagnostic tools that can be used to:
• Create, confirm, edit, store, send, and receive a configuration
• Display real-time Run mode information
• Record and display fault log data
• Record specific, user-defined information onto a "Notes" page.
The PCI program uses Input Device icons and circuit symbols to aid making appropriate device property selections. As the various device
properties and I/O control relationships are established, the program automatically builds the corresponding wiring and ladder logic dia-
grams. These diagrams provide I/O device wiring detail for the installer and a symbolic representation of the Controller’s safeguarding
logic for the use of the machine designer or controls engineer. See the Safety Controller PCI tutorial for further instruction.
5.1.1 Configuration Tools
The PC Interface screen has a tool bar above the work area for creating and managing configuration files. Use the Live Display button to
display real time Run mode data from a working Controller over a USB connection. The screen below shows the status after the Enable
Network Interface button has been checked, enabling the Virtual Status Outputs and additional tabs above the documents section.
