Overview

The PSM and TIM have an I/O module that can accept a wired input from a machine. This input can be setup as a count. This guide explains how to setup the Discrete Input on the configuration. Once the Input has been setup you can use it as either a Continuous or Process Count. Before using this guide, a wired input must be pulled from the machine and wired into the I/O module.

Requirements

1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.

2. A TIM or PSM module powered and communicating with your system.

3. Wired contact from machine connected to one of the Input connectors on the IO.

Instructions
