Specification of the ioDef.mul file
Function
The ioDef file is used to define which Inputs and Outputs a particular machine has. The IO definitions are used for
- Displaying the IO as panels on the Service screen of the control software for diagnostics
- References in the alarms file for building machine-specific alarm modes
- References in the spindle / tooling setup to define spindle on / off outputs and sensor inputs, etc
- References in the xholds file to define x axis areas where an output cannot function
- References in the axis setup to identify the home input for a particular axis
Each line is an individual input or output
Field Format
| No | Name | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Code Name | 10A | Code name used to reference IO
The name needs to be short enough to fit on the IO screen buttons Later software / machines prefixed with InX_ or OuX_ where X is the module letter |
| 2 | Ref No | 3N | 3 digit reference code for the IO. this code is critical as it is used to link everything together. It is a unique code for an input or output function that is used across the range of Stuga machines. |
| 3 | Type | 1N | 0 - Disabled
1 - Input 2 -Output |
| 4 | Node | 2N | ** Nextmove E100 / ESB systems only - not used on Beckhoff ***
This is the CAN Node hardware that the IO is referenced on 0 is the Main Nextmove controller |
| 5 | Channel | 2N | ** Nextmove E100 / ESB systems only - not used on Beckhoff ***
The hardware channel on the node that the IO is referenced to |
| 6 | Inverted | Bool | Defines if the input is inverted - the state will be inverse in all calculations. Use with extreme caution |
| 7 | Stoppable | Bool | Defines if an output should "Pause" during and alarm and then back on again after a restart.
Outputs such as conveyor belts and blowers should pause when an alarm occurs, then restart once start is pressed Other outputs such as clamps need to stay on to hold the position during an alarm |
| 8 | Column | 2N | Column / screen that the IO reference will appear on the service screen. See below |
| 9 | Row | 2N | Row that the IO appears on |
| 10 | Keypress | 1A | Shortcut Key on keyboard that will toggle the output on and off is press while service screen is active |
| 11 | Log | Bool | *** DO NOT USE *** |
| 12 | Location | 1N | Location of the output on a flowline style machine that has 2 sides
0 - All sides (default) 1 - MH side only 2 - Saw side only |
| 13 | Cable Ref | 5A | If a value is entered in this field, this will change the service screen display to this text. this allows legacy older machines with different cable numbering (Y1, X2, etc) to maintain the correct numbers on screen, bu have a the standard IO reference in the background |
Column Numbering
The columns are given a code number to identify both the column number on the screen and the screen that they appear on
| Range | IO Screen | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0-5 | Main Service Screen (IO) | On this original screen, the inputs and outputs are fixed on the left and right side of this screen, so the location is also determined by whether it is an input or an output
The number relates to the column |
| 10-19 | Spindle IO | The digit after the 1 relates to the column on the spindle IO screen |
| 20-29 | IO- Infeed | The digit after the 2 relates to the column on the IO-Infeed screen |
| 50-59 | IO-Saw | The digit after the 5 relates to the column on the IO-Saw screen |
| 60-69 | IO-TransferTbl | The digit after the 6 relates to the column on the IO-TransferTbl screen |
