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
- PRESS –> [ I/O ]
- PRESS –> [ F1 ] [ TYPE ]
- SELECT –> [ 5 ] 5 GROUP (see screenshot)
- PRESS –> [ IN/OUT ] (If you don’t have the screen of “I/O Group In”)
- PRESS –> [ F2 ] [ CONFIG ]
- Using arrow on line GI #2, ENTER –> 89 in “RACK” column. (Corresponding to Ethernet I/P rack number).
- PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
- Using arrow on line GI #2, ENTER –> 1 in “SLOT” column. (Corresponding Slot of Ethernet I/P set up for this particular device).
- PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
- 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.
- PRESS –> [ ENTER ]
- 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)
- PRESS –> [ ENTER ] (see screenshot)
- PRESS –> [ FCTN ]
- SELECT –> [ 0 ] 0 NEXT
- SELECT –> [ 8 ] 8 CYCLE POWER (see screenshot)
- 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)
