Box Input Leg Labels

Some of the box instructions have their inputs labeled to help identify the function of that particular input.

The following is a list of the leg labels that are used in the software:

- (Auto / Manual) -  when this input is ON the instruction will be set to Automatic Mode, when OFF the instruction will be set to Manual Mode

- (Data) - when this input is ON a value of 1 will be available to the instruction, when OFF a value of 0 will be available

- (CTRIO: Direction) - when this input is ON the CTRIO output will pulse in the clockwise direction, when OFF the CTRIO output will pulse in the counter-clockwise direction

- (Down) - when this input transitions from OFF to ON it will cause the instruction to count down

- (Enable) - when this input is ON the instruction is enabled

- (Enable / Reset) - when this input is ON it will cause the instruction to run, and when OFF will cause the instruction to stop running and reset its status data

- (CTRIO2: Forward) - when this input is ON the CTRIO2 output will begin pulsing in the clockwise direction

- (CTRIO: Go To Position) - when this input transitions ON the CTRIO output will begin pulsing until it reaches the Position value, turn this input back OFF to setup for additional Go To Position requests

- (Jog) - this input will cause the instruction to advance to the next step

- (Pause) - this input will cause the instruction to stop executing but retain its current status

- (Reset) - this input will cause the instruction to stop running and reset its status data

- (DRUM: Run)  - when this input is ON the Drum instruction's timer will run and/or it's events will be active, when OFF the Drum's timer will stop running or events will not be monitored

- (CTRIO2: Reverse) - when this input is ON the CTRIO2 output will begin pulsing in the counter-clockwise direction

- (CTRIO: Suspend) - when this input is ON the CTRIO output will stop sending output pulses, when OFF the CTRIO output is able to send output pulses

- (Up) - this input will cause the instruction to count up

-  (Edge Trigger) - this symbol denotes an input that requires a transition from OFF to ON for the instruction to execute.
 

Note: If used in a Multi-scan or Fully-Asynchronous instruction each time this input logic transitions from OFF to ON the instruction will run to completion, even if the input logic goes OFF before the operation is complete.
