The Input to Event Table is used to configure input to event behavior:
When an input can be used to trigger an event, then the RMC looks into the Input to Event Table
each time that input has a rising edge (it goes from non-conducting to conducting) or has a falling
edge (it goes from conducting to non-conducting). Therefore, the Input to Event table is divided in
half: one half for rising edges and one half for falling edges.
Each entry in the Input to Event table holds an Event Step number. The column of the entry
represents an axis, and the row represents a digital input. When a digital input has a rising edge,
all entries on the input’s row which are not blank in the rising edge half of the I2E table are
processed. An entry is process by issuing a Start Event command to the axis with the entry value
as the command value (step number). When the digital input has a falling edge, the falling edge
half of the I2E table is used.
Changing the Input to Event Table
Changes are made to the Input to Event table using the Input to Event Editor. Refer to Table
Editor Basics for topics common to all table editors. The default extension for saved Input to
Event tables is .i2e. Features specific to the Input to Event table editor are described below:
