Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events variables exported for the HMI"Human-machine interfaces " Also known as computer-human interfaces (CHI), and formerly known as man-machine interfaces, they are usually employed to communicate with PLCs and other computers, such as entering and monitoring temperatures or pressures for further automated control or emergency response, the mapping file must be re-imported in Kollmorgen Visualization Builder to have an up-to-date version.
