Overview of DI links
Note
Linking digital inputs
You
can logically combine up to eight digital inputs using "AND" and "OR" logic operations.
The results of the logic operations, as virtual digital inputs, can also be part of a link and
serve to control functions.
•
Only use a link as an input of additional links on the condition that the inputs to be linked
do not already contain results of logical operations.
•
A maximum of two linking levels are permitted in a hierarchical structure of links.
•
Links in which the result is used as input in links again are not permitted.
As soon as a link is set, the device checks whether a ring closure is present. If a ring closure
is detected, the device outputs a corresponding error message.
