DI Module Configuration
The 16 DI Fast 24V and 32 DI Fast 24V modules can handle AC and DC input signals. The
user can select DC or AC operation per module. When AC configuration is selected, the Fast
Capture, Counter Function and Input Filters (see below) are disabled.
Fast Capture (DC Configuration)
When the DI module is in DC mode, each DI can be configured as a Fast Capture DI. Fast
capture causes the SCAN ladder output operation to get the first change that occurred since the
previous scan. When fast capture is disabled, the scan gets the current value of the DI (in this
case, any DI changes between scans are missed.)
Input Filters (DC Configuration)
When the DI module is in DC mode, each input has a HW input filter to make sure that the
input reading is stable. The range of the HW DI filter is 0 to 50.8 millisecond (in 0.2 mS
steps). The Fast Counter DI filter range is 0 to 12.75 millisecond (in 0.05 mS steps).
Event Time Tagging
Each DI can be set in the user application program’s I/O link table to trigger recording of time
tagged events upon any input change of state. The time tagged events are recorded in the CPU
memory and can be retrieved for various purposes.
