9 MERLIN DIGITAL SIGNALS MANAGEMENT
In order to minimize the programming performed by the user, the Merlin software
manages digital signals (Input and Output) using precompiled lists of signals. The
operator has only to choose the I/O layout according to his needs.
For more detailed information on the I/O Layout management, please contact the
nearest Marposs office.
SIGNAL LIST
LINE MEANING AND MANAGEMENT
IN
START/STOP TYPE1: the same line is used to give both commands. On
rising edge the S
TART, on falling edge the stop. This configuration is
available (and cannot be changed) in all the footswitch connected to
Easy Box.
I
N
START/STOP TYPE2: the same line is used to give both commands.
S
TART and STOP commands are active on rising edge, it means that two
pushes on the button are necessary to complete an acquisition. This
configuration is available (and cannot be changed) for all the M1 Wave
pushbuttons.
I
N START TYPE3: START command active on rising edge.
IN STOP TYPE3: STOP command active on rising edge.
I
N
ZERO MODE: when the input is high and it’s programmed at least one ze-
roing step, Merlin software shows the zeroing page. When the signal is
low the system shows the standard measuring page. This configuration
is available for: Easy Box U8IO, DigiCrown, GageBox.
I
N
NEXT ZERO STEP: active on rising edge. Merlin software skips to next ze-
roing step. The system must be in Z
EROING mode and more than one ze-
roing step has to be available. This configuration is available for: Easy
Box U8IO, DigiCrown, Gage Box.
I
N
BATCH SELECTION: active on high level. When activated the software
changes B
ATCH (and as consequence could change PART PROGRAM too)
according to the binary code set on “Batch Code” signals (see next
point). If the addressed batch is not valid, the system remains on the
current one and “Error status” output signal is enabled.
