Using Local I/O
The objectives of this chapter are to help you plan:
•
The number of discrete output lines (up to 14) that your application will
require.
•
The function that each output line will perform in your application.
•
The assignment of analysis tool “results” to output lines.
•
The assignment of status signals to output lines.
•
The electrical and mechanical connections of the trigger (input) and
output lines to your production equipment.
The local I/O consists of:
•
I/O Interface Box (Catalog No. 2801–N21, –N27)
•
I/O Board (Catalog No. 2801–JMB)
•
User specified I/O modules (plug into I/O board)
•
Communications Cable (2801–NC17)
As shown in Figure 3.1, the communications cable (Catalog No.
2801–NC17) is connected to the MODULE I/O port on the front of the Color
CVIM module and the connector on the I/O Interface box. The I/O board
connector slides into the connector slot on the I/O Interface Box.
