Digital inputs

Overview

Note: For digital inputs with 5 V, the length of the supply lines must not exceed 3 meters.
Note: The digital inputs are sampled once per millisecond. Signal changes at the input less than one millisecond in duration are not processed.

The following inputs are available:

PIN/input Name for Input Routing Factory settings
B3/DIO1_IO_CS physical input 1 None
B4/DIO2_CD_CLK physical input 2 Clock input in clock-direction mode
B5/DIO3_CD_DIR physical input 3 Home switch / direction input in clock-direction mode
B6/DIO4_IO_MOSI physical input 4 None
B7/DIO5_IO_MISO physical input 5 None
B8/DIO6_IO_CLK physical input 6 None

Object entries

The value of an input can be manipulated using the following OD settings, whereby only the corresponding bit acts on the input here.

  • 3240h:01h (Special Function Enable): This bit allows special functions of an input to be switched off (value "0") or on (value "1"). If input 1 is not used as, e.g., a negative limit switch, the special function must be switched off to prevent an erroneous response to the signal generator. The object has no effect on bits 16 to 31.

    The firmware evaluates the following bits:

    • Bit 0: Negative limit switch
    • Bit 1: Positive limit switch
    • Bit 2: Home switch

    If, for example, two limit switches and one home switch are used, bits 0–2 in 3240h:01h must be set to "1".

  • 3240h:02h (Function Inverted): This bit switches from normally open logic (a logical high level at the input yields the value "1" in object 60FDh) to normally closed logic (the logical high level at the input yields the value "0"). This applies for the special functions (except for the clock and direction inputs) and for the normal inputs. If the bit has the value "0", normally open logic applies; for the value "1", normally closed logic applies.

  • 3240h:03h (Force Enable): This bit switches on the software simulation of input values if it is set to "1". In this case, the actual values are no longer used in object 3240h:04h, but rather the set values for the respective input.

  • 3240h:04h (Force Value): This bit specifies the value that is to be read as the input value if the same bit was set in object 3240h:03h.

  • 3240h:05h (Raw Value): This object contains the unmodified input value.

  • 60FDh (Digital Inputs): This object contains a summary of the inputs and the special functions.

Computation of the inputs

Computation of the input signal using the example of input 1:

The value at bit 0 of object 60FDh is interpreted by the firmware as negative limit switch; the result of the complete computation is stored in bit 16.

Input Routing

Principle

To perform the assignment of the inputs more flexibly, there is a mode called Input Routing Mode. This assigns a signal of a source to a bit in object 60FDh.

Activation

This mode is activated by setting object 3240h:08h (Routing Enable) to 1.

Note: Entries 3240h:01h to 3240:04h then have no function until Input Routing is again switched off.
Note: If Input Routing is switched on, the initial values of 3242h are changed and correspond to the function of the input as it was before activation of Input Routing. The inputs of the controller behave the same with activation of Input Routing. Therefore, you should not switch back and forth between the normal mode and Input Routing.

Routing

Object 3242h determines which signal source is routed to which bit of 60FDh. Subindex 01h of 3242h determines bit 0, subindex 02h determines bit 1, and so forth. You can find the signal sources and their numbers in the following lists.

Example
 

Input 1 is to be routed to bit 16 of object 60FDh:

The number of the signal source for input 1 is "1". The routing for bit 16 is written in 3242h:11h.

Hence, object 3242h:11h must be set to the value "1".
