Short Description Input variable for digital software inputs INPUT5…INPUT20

Description

The bit variable SOFTIN describes the actual state of the virtual digital inputs INPUT5INPUT20
The relation between the Bit number and the digital input is as follows:

Bit0 INPUT5
Bit1 INPUT6
….
Bit15 INPUT20

The write access to the parameter SOFTIN affects directly the state of the corresponding digital input
For example:

SOFTIN 5 : the digital inputs INPUT5 and INPUT7 becomes the state high

The function of the virtual digital inputs can be configured by the commands IN5MODE…IN20MODE


In case that an external I/O slot card is used, only a reduced number of virtual inputs is available (INPUT19…INPUT20)
