Digital I/O 177
Chapter 13 System Options
The Altanium controller has many additional optional features available to help in the
molding process. There are hardware, software, and a combination of hardware and software
options that can be used to maximize the system.
13.1 Digital I/O
Use the I/O screen to configure the digital inputs and outputs. On the Home screen, touch
the I/O button.
The I/O options are divided into four categories:
• Safety
• Digital Inputs
• Digital Outputs
• Configurable Signals
The tabs at the bottom of the screen are used to access each I/O category. Table 13-1 gives a
list of items found on the I/O screens with their descriptions.
To configure the I/O, select a tab for safety, inputs, outputs, or configurable signals to see the
I/O you want. If your Altanium controller has heats and/or servos installed, the digital inputs
and outputs screens will show sub-tabs related to those features. Navigate to the I/O and
configure the settings as necessary to the requirements.
