3. Wire the Controller
For fixed and configurable inputs/outputs, see Input and Output Signals
 on page 159. 
See Sample Motion Wiring Configuration on 2080-LC30-xxQVB / 2080-LC50-xxQVB / 
2080-LC70-xxQVB on page 161 for reference.
The next sections provide a more detailed description of the motion components. You can also 
see the Connected Components Workbench Online Help for more information about each 
motion function block and their variable inputs and outputs. 
Input and Output Signals Multiple input/output control signals are required for each motion axis, as described in the 
next tables. PTO Pulse and PTO Direction are required for an axis. The rest of the input/outputs 
can be disabled and reused as regular I/O.
These I/O can be configured through the axis configuration feature in Connected Components 
Workbench. Any outputs assigned for motion should not be controlled in the user program. 
See Motion Axis Configuration in Connected Components Workbench
 on page 180.

Configurable Input/Output
Motion Signals Input/Output Notes
Servo/Drive On  OUTPUT Can be configured as any embedded output.
Servo/Drive Ready INPUT Can be configured as any embedded input.
In-Position signal (from 
servo/motor)
INPUT Can be configured as any embedded input.
Home Marker INPUT Can be configured as any embedded input, from input 0...15.
IMPORTANT If an output is configured for motion, then that output can no longer be 
controlled or monitored by the user program and cannot be forced. For 
example, when a PTO Pulse output is generating pulses, the 
corresponding logical variable IO_EM_DO_xx will not toggle its value and 
will not display the pulses in the Variable Monitor but the physical LED 
will give an indication. 
If an input is configured for motion, then forcing the input only affects 
the user program logic and not motion. For example, if the input Drive 
Ready is false, then the user cannot force Drive Ready to true by forcing 
the corresponding logical variable IO_EM_DI_xx to be true.
