OUTPUT ENABLE ANDING
Purpose
Output Enable ANDing allows you to AND any output channels with Input Terminal
#16, Figure 7. A channel ANDed with this terminal will be enabled to turn on at its
programmed setpoints only while the terminal is energized.

Purpose
This function allows you to divide output channels into groups, and assign operating
modes to the groups. Operating modes provide a powerful tool for relating output chan-
nel operation to sensor signals or other inputs. Incorporating modes into a control sys-
tem can greatly improve line efficiency, reduce scrap, and improve control accuracy
between machine sections at high speeds. See Section 5 for a complete explanation of
the uses and applications of operating modes.

Establishing Groups
When dividing outputs into groups, keep these rules in mind:
• Output channels are assigned to groups sequentially. Group 1 will begin with Output
1 and include the specified number of outputs; Group 2 will begin with the next output
and continue sequentially for its specified number of outputs; and so on. The last
group will automatically include all of the remaining outputs.
• You can establish as many as six groups or as few as one.
• More than one group can be assigned to the same mode.
