Input Signals
Figure 2-28 shows in principle where to check an input signal in an S100 I/O application.
DI boards provide X90 connector and DI channel LEDs.
AI boards provide X90 connector, a test terminal X3 and a common-to-all-channels A/D
conversion indicating LED.
See separate documentation for detailed information.
• Digital Input Signals
Figure 2-28 shows where you can check a digital input signal in an input channel.
Proceed as follows:
– Use the command MDB (Modify Data Base) to present the data base element.
Use GETAB as an alternative.
– Ensure that the connections of the data base element are filled in correctly for the
signal to be examined. See the data sheet for the data base element.
– Simulate the digital input signal as close to the process transducer as possible or
activate the transducer itself.
– Check that the corresponding yellow LED on the input board concerned illuminates
