DIO#.SOURCE

Description

Gets or sets the bi-directional output source for channel x when configured as a digital output (see DIO#.DIR).

Value	Description
0 - User	User controls the output value using DIO#.STATEU
1 - Action Table	Action table controls the output value

Examples

Usage

When DIO#.SOURCE = 0 (User) and DIO#.DIR = 1 (output), then DIO#.STATE will be controlled by DIO#.STATEU.

When DIO#.SOURCE = 1 (Action table) and DIO#.DIR = 1 (output), then DIO#.STATE will be controlled by the assigned action, if any.

If DIO#.DIR = 0 (input) then the DIO#.SOURCE parameter is ignored.

Code

Changing output state with STATEU and then changing SOURCE to be action table with no action configured:

--> DIO1.DIR
1 (output)
--> DIO1.SOURCE
0 (user)
--> DIO1.STATE
0
--> DIO1.STATEU 1
--> DIO1.STATE
1
--> DIO1.SOURCE 1 //Action table
--> DIO1.STATE
0
