Event parameters
Parameter | Description |
Event type | Advanced scan, input, output, delay, simple scan, input monitor or bit selector. |
Advanced scan
Parameter | Description |
Identifier source | Protocol, scanner, any |
Identifier rule 1-4 | Up to four identifier rules to parse incoming identification strings. |
Information text | User defined text to be displayed on the screen during the advanced scan step. |
Timeout | If an Advanced scan takes longer time than this, the batch sequence is failed or aborted. |
Input
Parameter | Description |
Input signal | Decides which Batch Sequence DI1-12 signal to wait for. |
Signal flank | Decides if the step should react to positive/negative/any flank or positive/negative level. |
Timeout | If an Input step takes longer time than this, the batch sequence is failed or aborted. |
Information text | User defined text to be displayed on the screen during the step. |
Output
Parameter | Description |
Output signal | Decides which Batch Sequence DO1-8 to set. |
Output signal mode | Decides if the signal should be permanently set or for a set time. |
Output signal level | Decides if the output should be set high or low. |
Output signal duration | Appears if signal mode is set to duration and decides for how long the output should be active. |
Delay
Parameter | Description |
Delay time | Decides for how long the event will stay active. Can be set from 0.01-30 s. |
Simple scan
Parameter | Description |
Identifier source | Protocol, scanner, any |
Save destination | Save to one Custom ID. |
Information text | User defined text to be displayed on the screen during the simple scan step. |
Timeout | If a simple scan takes longer time than this, the batch sequence is failed and aborted with an error message. |
Key | Static text defined by user and saved with data in custom ID. |
Input monitor
The input monitor step can be used to monitor the level of a digital input during the batch sequence. When enabling an input monitor it will be active until end of the batch sequence or until it is disabled.
If the monitor error is triggered, it will activate a batch sequence error and the sequence will be aborted.
Parameter | Description |
Monitor mode | Enable or disables the input monitor. If enabled the input monitor will be active until the end of the batch sequence or until disabled. |
Input signal | Select the batch sequence input signal that should be monitored. The input signal must be assigned to an actual input in the I/O configuration. |
Trigger error on | If the signal assumed the error trigger state, high or low, the batch sequence will be aborted and a batch sequence error will be active. |
Bit selector
The bit selector step will force the user to pick up a specific bit in order to complete the step.
Digital I/O bit selector
Digital input function "Select bit 0-3" must be linked in order to detect if a bit is selected. The bit selector event will always set digital output function "Unlock bit 0-3" to identify which bit that should be selected to an external device.
"Unlock bit" and "Select bit" are both calculated binary.
Select Bit 0 weight = 1
Select Bit 1 weight = 2
Select Bit 2 weight = 4
Select Bit 3 weight = 8
Example: If Event is set to take Bit #7 then Select Bit 0, 1 and 2 should be high in order to complete the event step. (1 + 2 + 4 = 7)
Accessory Bus bit selector
The Accessory Bus uses its own protocol and has nothing to do with the digital I/Os. There is no need to link any "Select bit" to make the accessory bus bit selector work.
Example: If event is set to take Bit#7 then the selector indicator LEDs will show which bit to pick, which is the bit located at position number 7.
Parameter | Description |
Requested Bit | Select which bit the operator shall pick in order to continue on with the step. It is possible to select up to 8 different bits. (These bits are independent of the settings in configuration and will not execute any other command if picked.) |
Identifier source | Select from which source the signal shall come from Digital I/O or Accessory Bus. |
