Configuring and displaying digital inputs and

outputs

_________________________________________________________

Overview

In the keypad, the only way to view the status of digital inputs and outputs is in

hexadecimal format (parameters 8.05 and 8.06). Setting them up during commissioning

can be a bit complicated. Digital inputs and outputs (analog too) can be configured in a

much more user friendly format by using the "I/O assistant" wizard in DriveWindows Light.

Using DriveWindows Light

1. Connect to the DCS800 and go on line by clicking on File, then New Online Drive.

2. Click on Wizard, on the left side of the screen.

3. Click on Advanced.

4. Check the box for "I/O assistant," then click on Next.

5. In the digital input box or digital output box, click on "edit parameters."

In this screen, you can:

•

View the status of digital inputs and outputs

•

Invert inputs and outputs

•

View the current input and output setting

•

Change the input and output setting (by clicking on edit for the desired bit)

NOTE: In many cases, the initial input and output configuration will be done by using one

of the predefined macros. The "Macro assistant" is almost the same as the I/O assistant.

I/O status can be viewed and configuration changed in that assistant in much the same

way.
