Column
reference the I/O point in User Programs or the Program Triggers, but
the preferred method is to use the tag name.
Assigned To
Displays the physical location of the I/O point.
RMC70 expansion modules are numbered 1 to 4, starting closest to
the RMC70 base unit.
RMC150 slots are named, from left to right, Comm, CPU, Sensor 1,
Sensor 2, Sensor 3, and Sensor 4.
RMC70 Example: D8 [Exp#2] I/O 4. This I/O point is located on the
second expansion module, which is a D8, on I/O 4.
RMC150 Example: DI/O in Sensor #3, Out 2. This is discrete output
#2 in the Sensor #3 slot.
Tag Name
The tag name assigned to the I/O point by the user. This cell is
editable. Use the tag name to reference the I/O point in User
Programs or the Program Triggers.
Type
This cell specifies whether the I/O point is an input or output. If the
I/O point is configurable as either an input or output, you can change
by double-clicking the cell and choosing or Input or Output.
Program
State
Valid only for outputs. Defines the state of the output when the RMC
enters PROGRAM mode. See the Configuring Discrete IO topic for
details.
Fault State
Valid only for outputs. Defines the state of the output when the RMC
receives a Fault Controller (8) command. See the Configuring Discrete
IO topic for details.
Description
Enter a description of the I/O point in this column.
Applying Changes to the RMC
To apply the changes made in the Discrete I/O Configuration window, you must download
the Programming to the RMC. To do this, on the Programming menu, click Download
Programs.
4.11.8. I/O Monitor
To access this dialog:
On the View menu, click Discrete I/O Monitor.
Press Alt+3 to show or hide the Discrete I/O Monitor.
Use this monitor to view the current state of the discrete I/O, toggle outputs, and to force
inputs or outputs on or off. To configure the discrete I/O, use the Discrete I/O Settings Editor.
For details on using the discrete I/O, see the Discrete I/O topic.
Viewing the Discrete I/O
The I/O Monitor displays the states of all the general discrete inputs and outputs of the
RMC.
