Receiving numeric data

This procedure sets up communication using Group Inputs through Digital Inputs. This is a simple way to receive numeric data from another device in the field. Group Input 2 will be set as a 16-bit word. DI[33] to DI[48] will be used to receive the data. Digital Inputs must be configured as usual. This procedure is typical for Omron NX I/O block.

STEP BY STEP

  1. PRESS –> [ I/O ]
  2. PRESS –> [ F1 ] [ TYPE ]
  3. SELECT –> [ 5 ] 5 GROUP (see screenshot)
  4. PRESS –> [ IN/OUT ] (If you don’t have the screen of “I/O Group In”)
  5. PRESS –> [ F2 ] [ CONFIG ]
  6. Using arrow on line GI #2, ENTER –> 89 in “RACK” column. (Corresponding to Ethernet I/P rack number).
  7. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  8. Using arrow on line GI #2, ENTER –> 1 in “SLOT” column. (Corresponding Slot of Ethernet I/P set up for this particular device).
  9. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  10. Using arrow on line GI #2, ENTER –> 49 in “START PT” column. (Corresponding Start bit of Ethernet I/P set up for Digital outputs) Remember, the first 16 bits are taken for Omron NX I/O block status.
  11. PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
  12. Using arrow on line GI #2, ENTER –> 16 in “NUM PTS” column. (Corresponding to the number of bits composing the numeric data. In this case, it is a 16 bits word)
  13. PRESS –> [ ENTER ] (see screenshot)
  14. PRESS –> [ FCTN ]
  15. SELECT –> [ 0 ] 0 NEXT
  16. SELECT –> [ 8 ] 8 CYCLE POWER (see screenshot)
  17. PRESS –> [ YES ] (see screenshot)

End results : For instance, if DI[33] to DI[36] are ON, then GI[2] = 15 (0000 0000 0000 1111 = 15) (see screenshot)
