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

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.
