VT3000 Discrete Inputs

---

---

Overview Discrete Inputs are the physical input connections available inside the IO modules. When an input is wired up to another source, the output must be configured in the VT3000 software. Generally, a Count or Switch (Machine Down) connection is being made on the module.

Basic Functionality To access and setup inputs for a device, select the Discrete Inputs tab on the Edit Device page. By default, all inputs will be disabled. Default Configuration - Call Station, Assembly Module & Takt Module Select an output from the list to begin editing.

Input Properties After selecting the to Add or Edit a device - selecting the Discrete Inputs tab - selecting the Input to be edited/setup from the list, the Input Properties section will load. There are 2 Types that can be selected for an Input. Transition Use this type of input when setting up a switch - generally used to signal a machine is down. Type - select Transition. Enabled - select if the input is to always be active - generally this will be unchecked as we will use Actions to manipulate when the input should be active or inactive. When using a Switch Contact Module, the input will always have to be enabled. Inverted - select if the input is to behave opposite of default. On Delay - enter the amount of milliseconds to elapse before the input turns on. Off Delay - enter the amount of milliseconds to elapse before the input turns off. Linked To - use this to select the Alarm to be triggered when the input is activated. Count Use this type of input when setting up a count - generally used to signal a completed piece/part. Type - select Count for this type. Enabled - select if the input is to always be active - generally this will be unchecked as we will use Actions to manipulate when the input should be active or inactive. When using a Switch Contact Module, the input will always have to be enabled. Inverted - select if the input is to behave opposite of default. On Delay - enter the amount of milliseconds to elapse before the input turns on. Off Delay - enter the amount of milliseconds to elapse before the input turns off.
