Setting up the Host to Reference the I/O Rack

List of Available

Channels

Displays a list of the individual channels (counter I/O points) on

this process I/O board. If the channel is displayed in RED, that

channel is active. If the channel is left grayed out, that channel is

considered unused.

Channel Name

Is a name identifying this channel. This name is used as a variable

name in your POU to reference the channel.

Add Input Channel State

When selected, displays the TRUE/FALSE value of the channel.

Reset Point Count

When set to ON, allows the number of counts to be reset. This

occurs automatically whenever the board is reset.

Select Filter

Specifies how the High Speed Counter board will operate for this

channel:

'None' Defaults to 30 millisecond filtering.

'30 ms' Turns on 30 millisecond filter. Typically used for

push-button debouncing.

'1 ms' Turns on 1 millisecond filter. Used for low speed

counter applications.

'HSC Channel' High Speed Counter.

Add Board Status

When selected, will cause a variable to be created to store board

status information.

Add Time Stamp of Last

Sample

When selected, will cause a variable to be created to store the

timestamp of the last sample collected by this I/O board.

Mark All Pins Used

When checked, will activate all channels on this I/O board. They

will all appear in RED.

Statistics Board

The Remote I/O Status Board does

NOT have a slot number. It is a

'virtual' board, i.e. there is no actual

physical board. By including it within

your ControlWave project, global

variables will be created to store

communication statistics information,

and board ID strings for the

ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack.

To create the variables, select "Board Statistics" and/or "Board ID Strings" as desired, then

click on [Done].
