TIP
Standalone Digital Output channels configured for On-Pulse or Off-Pulse are
not supported. These blocks must have a parameter connection to an
upstream block. SCM writes or other writes using Program access level are
not permitted.
The Status Output (SO) setting is impacted by the ONPULSE and OFFPULSE
parameters as indicated in the following table.
Table 52 Status Output settings
Status Output (SO) setting
On - for specified duration
SO is immediately set to OFF
Off - for specified duration
SO is immediately set to ON
To provide consistent and safe behavior, the following occurs when setting DOTYPE to
either ONPULSE or OFF PULSE.
Table 53 Setting DOTYPE to ONPULSE or OFFPULSE
the ONPULSE and OFFPULSE parameters only
accept operator writes. (Program access level writes
and all other writes are NOT accepted.)
operator access level writes to SO are accepted and
writing SO terminates an active pulse.
changing MODE to CAS sets the output to the
quiescent state.
always sets the output to the quiescent state.
