Catch Input
The catch input function is used to receive short pulses from sensor outputs regardless of the scan time. Input pulses
shorter than one scan time can be received. First eight inputs of every DC input module can be designated to catch a rising
or falling edge of short input pulses. The Function Area Settings is used to designate first eight inputs of every DC input
module as a catch input or normal input.
Input signals to normal input terminals are read when the END instruction is executed at the end of a scan.
Since these settings relate to the user program, the user program must be downloaded to the OpenNet Controller after
changing any of these settings.
