Digital Outputs 2-81
An Output can be “linked” directly to an Digital Input so that the output
“tracks” the input. When the input is closed, the Output will be
energized, and when the input is open, the output will be de-energized.
This “tracking will occur if two conditions exist:
– The Input is configured for any choice other than “Unused”
– The Output is configured for the appropriate “Input x Link”
Note that the output will continue to track or be controlled by the state of
the input, even if the input has been assigned a function (i.e. Start, Jog)
Output Time Delay
Each digital output has two user-controlled timers associated with it.
One timer (the ON timer) defines the delay time between a FALSE to TRUE
transition (condition appears) on the output condition and the corresponding
change in state of the digital output.
The second timer (the OFF timer) defines the delay time between a TRUE
to FALSE transition (condition disappears) on the output condition and the
corresponding change in the state of the digital output.
Either timer can be disabled by setting the corresponding delay time to “0.”
Important: Whether a particular type of transition (False-True or
True-False) on an output condition results in an energized or
de-energized output depends on the output condition.
If a transition on an output condition occurs and starts a timer, and the
output condition goes back to its original state before the timer runs out,
then the timer will be aborted and the corresponding digital output will not
change state.

[Dig Out1 OnTime]
[Dig Out2 OnTime]
[Dig Out3 OnTime]
Sets the “ON Delay” time for the digital
outputs. This is the time between the
occurrence of a condition and activation
of the relay.
