Digital I/O Control
The Digital IO tool is provides a virtual display of the current status of the available digital I/O (DIO).
You can also use this control to enable or disable DIO signals from the Adept DeskTop interface. This
can be useful when setting up or debugging system setups.
You can set or modify the status of the inputs and outputs directly in the Digital I/O interface.
• The state of an Input is represented by green icon when the input is ON, gray when the
input is OFF.
• The state of an Output can be modified by clicking the button representing the output.
Green indicates that the Output is ON, gray indicates that it is OFF.
• The type and number of inputs and outputs displayed in Digital IO control depend on the
current controller and system configuration.
• For easy monitoring, selected signals, inputs, and outputs can be added to a custom list and
even saved to file.
To open the Digital I/O control:
1. From the Adept DeskTop menu, select View > System Resources > Digital IO.
2. Alternatively, from the Adept DeskTop tool bar, click the IO icon.
