Digital Output
Gocator sensors can convert measurement decisions or software commands to digital output pulses,
which can then be used to output to a PLC or to control external devices, such as indicator lights or air
ejectors.
A digital output can act as a measurement valid signal to allow external devices to synchronize to the
timing at which measurement results are output. In this mode, the sensor outputs a digital pulse when a
measurement result is ready.
A digital output can also act as a strobe signal to allow external devices to synchronize to the timing at
which the sensor exposes. In this mode, the sensor outputs a digital pulse when the sensor exposes.
Each sensor supports two digital output channels. See Gocator Power/LAN Connector on page 618 for
information on wiring digital outputs to external devices.
Trigger conditions and pulse width are then configured within the panel.
To output measurement decisions:
1. Go to the Output page.
2. Click Digital 1 or Digital 2 in the Output panel.
3. Set Trigger Event to Measurement.
4. In Configuration, set Assert On and select the measurements that should be combined to determine
the output.
If multiple measurement decisions are selected and Assert On is set to Pass, the output is activated
when all selected measurements pass.
If Assert On is set to Fail, the output is activated when any one of the selected measurements fails.
