Description
These commands are used to specify which line(s) of the Digital Output Port will go true when
a limit test failure occurs. The first failure in the test sequence determines the digital output pat-
tern. Subsequent failures in the test sequence will not change the digital output pattern on the
output port.
Each output line is assigned a decimal weight as follows:
Digital Output Decimal Weight
Line #1 1
Line #2 2
Line #3 4
Line #4 8
The parameter value for the digital pattern is determined by adding the decimal weights of the
desired output lines. For example, if you want output lines #2 and #3 to go true when the upper
limit of LIMIT 1 is the first failure in the test sequence, use a parameter value of 6 (2+4) as
follows:
:calc3:lim:upp:sour 6
The actual true state (high or low) of each Digital Output line depends on its programmed po-
larity. If programmed for active-high polarity, the output line will go high (true) when the upper
