RIO Outputs

Configuring RIO Outputs

Use the RIO Output Confguration page to configure RIO outputs.

Purpose

Control points through the RIO using the outputs. Configure up to eight outputs.

Mode

Off-line or On-line

Procedure

  1. Click the Output_pane button on the left pane to open the Output Configuration page.
  2. Enter information into available fields.
  3. Click Commit to save the settings or Reset to revert to the last saved settings.
  4. Click Next to display the Delta Configuration page or Back to display the Input Configuration page.

Fields

Name Definition
Point Type Use this column to select up to eight digital outputs - Do1 to DO8.

Types include:

  • DISCRETE1 through DISCRETE8
  • FLOAT1_OPEN through FLOAT8_OPEN
  • FLOAT1_CLOSE through FLOAT8_CLOSE
  • MODULATE1 through MODULATE8

The following additional parameters are also available for configuration:

  • Speed for Floating DOs
  • PWM settings for Modulated DOs

For floating outputs, a corresponding float close should be available for a float open and vice versa.

If not, the wizard gives an error message while you try to save the configuration.

Procedure to drive RIO Floating Output by XL15C

1. To drive Floating Output in RIO the following rules should be followed
  1. For every Open DO there should be a corresponding Close DO selected in the wizard and vice-versa.
  2. Once step a is performed. These two (Open DO and Close DO) are considered paired and they can be commanded using one of the nviRemoteCmd_X.
  3. To identify which nviRemoteCmd_X drives a given Floating Output pair, consider the example given below in the screenshot.



In the above configuration DO2 and DO3 are paired and they will be commanded by nviRemoteCmd_X because FloatXClose and FloatXOpen are selected to pair them up. Here in this case X is 1.





2. Followings are the steps to drive RIO Float Output by XL15C
  1. Connect the Flex (as source) block to a RemoteCmd (as destination) block.
  2. Link the Nvo Remote Cmd slot on the RemoteCmd to the nviRemoteCmd_X on the RIO which has to be driven.



In the example given above if we wanted to drive DO2 and DO3 as the Floating output.Nvo Remote Cmd slot on the RemoteCmd has to be linked to the nviRemoteCmd_1.
