5.3.8 CHANNEL X – UP: ALARM
This sets whether an audible alarm will sound when a channel’s up direction in inhibited. Up is defined as pin 2 positive with
respect to pin 1 when the joystick is displaced forward and Invert Channel Direction is not set.
The programmable options are On and Off.
If set to On, then an alarm will sound while an inhibit is present.
If set to Off, then no alarm will sound.
5.3.9 CHANNEL X – UP: INHIBIT ACTIVE IN AXIS
The ISM-8 has three separate software Inhibits for each direction of each of its output Channels, 1 to 8. These inhibits are
referred to as A, B and C; and each can be initiated by any actual hardware input in the system. This functionality means tha t
any actuator Channel direction can be inhibited from three individual sources.
Channel X, Up: Inhibit Active in Axis sets whether the software Inhibit is active in a particular Axis.
If all twelve Axes are selected the software Inhibit will be active in all available Axes .
If Up: Inhibit: Inhibit Active in Axis is programmed to a subset of Axes 1-12, the software Inhibit will only be active in
the selected Axes.
In the example below, Channel 1 Up direction is inhibited (using software Inhibit A) when Inhibit 18 input is in Band 3. However,
this Inhibit function is only required in Axes 1 and 2, so Channel 1 Up: Inhibit Active in Axis (A) is set to 1,2.
5.3.10 CHANNEL X – DOWN: ASSIGN
The R-net ISM-8 has 3 separate software inhibits for the up direction of each of its output channels, 1 to 8. Up is defined as pin
2 positive with respect to pin 1 when the joystick is displaced forward and Invert Channel Direction is not set. These inhibits are
referred to as A, B and C; and each can be initiated by any actual hardware input in the system. This functionality means that
any actuator channel direction can be inhibited from 3 individual sources.
