Digital I/O Lines and FlexMotion
PrintDescription
The FlexMotion hardware has an auxiliary 24-bit digital I/O connector, which you can organize into three 8-bit ports. You can configure these 8-bit ports as inputs or outputs on a port-wide basis. Each bit has an individually programmable polarity that you can configure as either inverting (active-low) or noninverting (active-high).
Common Applications
Some examples of where you might use general-purpose digital lines include:
- Relay and solenoid activation
- Triggered I/O between other boards and/or instruments in the system
- Connecting with absolute encoders
