Output
The Output block directly and immediately turns on or off a single Flex
I/O, general purpose, RIO, SLC, or AxisLink discrete output. Use the Tag
Explorer field to select an output type. At the Tag Window select the
specific output to turn ON or OFF.
The Output block resides on the Main Palette.
Output CAM
Use the Output Cam block to:
•
Enable and Set up an output cam.
• Disable an output cam set up by a previous Output Cam block.
Output cams—also known as programmable limit switches—are discrete
outputs that turn on at a specific axis position and off at another position.
They are most often used to replace mechanical cams, and to synchronize
the activation of solenoids and valves with the position of an axis. You
can configure up to 48 separate output cams to control Flex I/O outputs,
general purpose outputs, SLC output bits, or RIO output bits. By
specifying the same output for more than one output cam, you can
configure the output to cycle more than once per machine cycle.
The Output Cam dialog box resides on the CAM palette.
Repeat the sequence—or loop—of blocks connected to this block’s
bottom output node and input node, a specified number of times.
