Study Notes
Ethos Tutorial: Flexible DIO Configuration
- The flexible DIO configuration allows users to easily configure digital input and output signals according to their requirements.
- This feature is also available for analog signals, but will be discussed in a later video.
- To access the DIO configuration, navigate to the settings on the Ethos home screen.
- The DIO configuration screen displays a list of available signals, which can be extensive depending on the system's complexity.
Understanding the DIO Configuration Screen
- The screen is divided into columns, with the first column displaying the function of each signal (input/output).
- Inputs are denoted by "I" and outputs are denoted by "O".
- The signal type can be either from the DIO card or to the DIO card, and can also be in Modbus.
- The configuration column indicates whether the electric signal is high or low active.
- The assembly and channel columns allow users to modify which channel or signal is used without physically disconnecting or reconnecting wires.
Configuring Digital Signals
- Some signals are pre-configured based on the system's ordered functions, while others are freely configurable.
- Binary inputs and outputs can be renamed and customized as needed.
- Users can choose from a list of available signals to configure digital signals according to their requirements.
