Bidirectional digital inputs/digital outputs
The control unit has 8 digital inputs/digital outputs (DI/DO).
When the DI/DO are assigned as digital inputs, they can be used as follows:
• Use of 6 of 8 digital inputs/digital outputs as "rapid inputs" for measuring inputs.
With a signal edge at the relevant input, the current actual values of one or more
encoders are measured with positioning accuracy in order to provide information for
determining lengths or distances (possible with any encoders included in the project).
The assignment of the inputs is not fixed, and the special use is activated via the HW
address and the bit number when the Measuring Input TO is configured in
SIMOTION SCOUT.
• All eight digital inputs/digital outputs can be used as user-addressable inputs or as
homing inputs.
When the DI/DO are assigned as digital outputs, they can be used as follows:
• Use as user-addressable outputs
• Use as "rapid output cam"
