Comparison values and outputs
Description
You can specify two comparison values to control both digital outputs of the channel
independently of the user program:
● Comparison value 0 for digital output DQ0
● Comparison value 1 for digital output DQ1
Depending on the operating mode and the encoder used, define two position, counter or
measured values as comparison value. Comparison value 1 must be greater than
comparison value 0. The comparison values are configurable and can be modified during
runtime using the user program.
Note
DQ0 of a counter of a Compact CPU
With a Compact CPU, the respective digital output DQ0 is available via the feedback
interface, but not as a physical output.
Switching digital outputs from the user program
The control bits (Page 185) TM_CTRL_DQ0 and TM_CTRL_DQ1 are used to control use of
the digital outputs.
If TM_CTRL_DQm is set to 0, you can control the relevant digital output from the user
program with the control bit SET_DQm regardless of the configured technological function. If
TM_CTRL_DQm is set to 1, the technological function of the controller of the respective
digital output is enabled.
The status of a digital output is indicated by the respective STS_DQm feedback bit.
