- block’s style setting maintained 
- all outputs turned off 
- the STI output pin set to OFF.  
^ADV = used with all styles except Direct. If “Activate Advance” selected in configuration, an OFF to ON 
transition will rotate the output order selection. 
DRDYS = digital encoded device-ready signal, usually the bit encoded output of the Digital 
Encoder Block (DENC) representing 16 digital states. No signal = 0 
Bit 1 = OUT 1, Bit 16 = OUT 16 
Example: If bit 3 is ON, "OUT 3" is enabled and its state can turn On/Off based on the Alternator 
Sequence. If bit 3 is OFF, "OUT 3" is disabled. Out 3's state will change to OFF. 
Outputs 
OUT1 – OUT16 =. Sixteen digital outputs, which turn ON and OFF based on the input demand 
[IN1-16]. Outputs can be manually disabled by way of the Outputs tab in the block properties. 
Outputs can be programmatically disabled by the use of the "DRDYS" input pin. 
ODIS = ON when any one of the outputs (OUT) is manually disabled, otherwise OFF 
IDIS = ON when any one of the inputs (IN) is manually disabled, otherwise OFF 
STI = ON when the block state is RUN; OFF when the block state is OFF.
