The Inputs/Outputs page shows all network I/O and all virtual I/O maintained by the RapidPath plugin. It is updated live
with the actual I/O states. Double-clicking on a line will toggle the state of the I/O.
The Registers page shows all registers owned by RapidPath, organized by device, along with their current values. It is
updated live with actual register values. Double-clicking on a line will open a window for editing it.
The current state of the lower level EtherCAT network services are shown on this page. Manually restarting the network
can be done on this page.
Some devices have specific functionality that must be accessible to the operator during machine set up outside of
configuration. Those devices will be listed on this page. Selecting a device will show the options available.
When first slaving motors, their encoder positions must be aligned to prevent runaway motion when enabling. This
page has a button for each axis to sync it's motors. If an axis has no slaved motors, the button will not be enabled.
When an absolute encoder alarm happens, the encoder must be reset in order to enable and re-set up homing for the
axis. This page has a Reset Absolute Encoder button that will do this functionality. It will cause the network to
regenerate afterwards.
