3.7 Possible uses of onboard drive and measuring system interface in
the application (C230-2, C240)
3.7.1 Overview
The onboard drive interface and the measuring system interface can be used in the
application for the technology objects TO axis and TO externalEncoder, and for I/O variable.
The table below lists the combination possibilities for the C230-2/C240.

Output (X2) Input (X3 to X6)
Position axis x x
Drive axis x -
External encoder - x
Also for C240:
Standard output (I/O variables)
 Analog output (PQW)
 Digital output (PQ)

The incremental encoder used must not have a zero pulse
Note
A standard output and a drive cannot be used simultaneously on one axis channel.
The input (X3 to X6) used as a counter input cannot be used simultaneously as an encoder
input.
When a project is created and when a project is downloaded, a consistency check of the
permitted combinations per axis channel is automatically performed.
