Chapter 3: Operation

Fast DIO interrupt events (using INT.EVENT) require the optional eV+ Extensions License.
When the program task priorities are properly set, there is a 1 ms maximum latency for the
fast inputs when used with the eV+ INT.EVENT instruction.

See the eV+ Language Reference Guide for a description of the INT.EVENT instruction.

Output Signals

The XDIO connector handles output signals 0001 to 0008. Refer to the following table for out-
put specifications. The locations of the signals on the connector are shown in the table XDIO
Digital I/O Connector Pin Assignments on page 49
. The XDIO connector provides separate pos-
itive and negative connections for each channel (no internal common connections). This
allows the choice of wiring for current-sourcing or current-sinking modes.

The figure Digital Output Wiring for XDIO Connector on page 49 shows two examples of dif-
ferent connections to the digital outputs on the XDIO connector. The examples are negative
common and positive common using the internal 24 V and ground connections.

Example 1: outputs 0001 to 0004 are shown with positive common.

Example 2: outputs 0005 to 0008 are shown with negative common.

NOTE: These are examples. Either method can be used, in any combination, on any channel. Also,
an external customer-provided power supply could have been provided instead of the power pro-
vided on the XDIO connector.
