External Command Inputs
About External Command Inputs
Note:
External Command Inputs, like all channel inputs, are automatically distributed to their associated
channel lists in the Station Manager application.
Your controller can process programming received from an external controller or function generator while
maintaining all other closed-loop control functions.
External command inputs are displayed in the channel inputs list.
Note:
Your controller cannot recognize mode switches in external program input signals.
How to Enable an External Command Input
1. In the Station Builder navigation pane, select Channels.
2. Select the channel for which the external input will be associated.
3. On the External Command tab, allocate an analog input resource to accommodate the command signal
input, and then rename it.
4. Set the Dimension and Display Units for the input signal.
