No of input events Number of events (signal edges) that were delivered to the master in the current process data set. Input state Current signal level at the digital input. Corresponds to the input value of a classic digital input without timestamp information. Input buffer overflow Indicates that more signal edges were detected than could be stored in the channel's buffer. Input cycle counter A 2-bit counter that is incremented each time the process data is transferred from the box to the EtherCAT master. Events in input buffer Number of events/signal edges that are in the channel's buffer and have not yet been supplied in the current process data set. Input order feedback (asynchronous operation) Contains the value of "Input order counter", which was output by the controller in the previous PLC cycle, see PDO "MTI Outputs Channel n". Used to check whether the "Input order counter" has been received by the box. Input event state n Direction of the detected signal edges: 0 = falling edge 1 = rising edge The number of these variables depends on the MTSF, see chapter Multi-timestamp factor (MTSF). Input event time n Timestamp for the events stored in "Input event state n" in ns. The number of these variables depends on the MTSF, see chapter Multi-timestamp factor (MTSF). |
