Outputs
Description
JOB COMPLETE
Asserts when a job is completed (accumulated bolt count equals target bolt count). Resets when a different job
is selected or when the input RESET JOB is asserted.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Output Type: Normal, Timed, Flash
Minimum ON Time, Time, Period
Spindle: Type the spindle number from which the signal comes.
JOB SELECTED
Asserts when a job is selected by any means. Resets when the active job is complete.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Job: Type the job number that, when selected, asserts this output.
Output Type: Normal, Timed, Flash
Minimum ON Time, Time, Period
Spindle: Type the spindle number from which the signal comes.
JOB SELECTED BIT
Asserts when required to indicate the active job. This is one bit in a series of bits to create a binary number. As
jobs change so will the binary number created from these bits.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Bit: Type the number this bit to be in the binary number scheme for selected jobs.
Mode: All JOB SELECTED BITs must be the same mode, modes cannot be mixed.
Binary – Creates a decimal number equivalent to the weighted value of this binary bit(s).
Binary + 1 – Creates a number equivalent to the weighted value of this binary bit(s) and adda the value
of one (1) to that number.
Spindle: Type the spindle number from which the signal comes.
MULTI-FUNCTION
BUTTON
Asserts when the tool’s Multi-function Button is pressed. Resets when the Multi-function Button is released.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Output Type: Normal, Timed, Flash
Minimum ON Time, Time, Period
Spindle: Type the spindle number from which the signal comes.
NOT USED
The output is not used. This is essentially a placeholder.
For fieldbus, the length of this input function may be set to any size that meets the need.
