Configuring GPI/GPO Events to Machine Control
If you configure GPI or GPO events to machine control, you must ensure both
GPI/GPO and Machine Control settings are set up correctly. See Figure 8-24 for
the coordinating GPI-GPO and Machine Control settings.
GPOs and GPIs can use the external interfaces. When using an
external interface, 48 additional GPOs and 48 additional GPIs are
available.

Selecting Automation Types
The Type column indicates if the input you have selected (1 through 12) will
trigger GPOs (GPI Outputs), Serial protocol, or—through the Disabled
option— normal functionality of the selecting source. The GPO configuration is
common for all input types. If you have selected a GPO that is already
configured in the GPI-GPO dialog box, a message will warn you that this action
will affect the settings of your previously configured GPO.
