Introduction
The MicroSmart features special functions such as stop/reset inputs, run/stop selection at memory backup error, keep des-
ignation for internal relays, shift registers, counters, and data registers. These functions are programmed using the Func-
tion Area Settings menu. Also included in the Function Area Settings are high-speed counter, catch input, interrupt input,
communication protocol selection for port 1 and port 2, input filter, and user program read/write protection.
This chapter describes these special functions. Clock function, analog potentiometer function, memory cartridge, and con-
stant scan features are also described in this chapter.
The Function Area Settings for communication functions are detailed in chapters 17 and 25 through 27.
Caution
• Since all Function Area Settings relate to the user program, the user program must be down-
loaded to the MicroSmart after changing any of these settings.
