Input parameters

The Input parameters apply to the following channel mode types:
  • Input
  • Input, Timestamp
  • IO-Link, Input Output, Timestamp
  • Input Output, Timestmap
  • IO-Link (Generic), Input Output, Timestamp
  • IO-Link (Generic), Input Output
The Input parameters include:
Parameter
Description
Off → On filter time
Specifies the time by which to delay the transition from off to on. This delay is useful for filtering out transients in noisy environments.
On → Off filter time
Specifies the time by which to delay the transition from on to off. This delay is useful for filtering out transients in noisy environments.
Enable timestamp latching
Determines whether to latch timestamps.
  • When enabled (checkbox selected), the device timestamps is not overwritten until acknowledged.
  • When disabled (checkbox cleared), the device timestamps might be overwritten.
Capture timestamp for
Determines whether to capture a timestamp when the input transitions from Off to On and/or from On to Off.
When Channel Assignment Mode is configured as
User-Selectable
, you can capture timestamps for both transitions.
When Channel Assignment Mode is configured as
Predefined with Generic IO-Link
, you can capture timestamps for only one type of transition.
Enable chatter detection
Sets chatter detection. When enabled, chatter from a device connected to one of its inputs (for example, rapid transitions from a failed contact) is ignored.
Chatter can cause the device to timestamp invalid input transitions. Typically, chattering signals cause inputs to transition falsely many times in a relatively short period of time.
Chatter count
Determines the number of acceptable input transitions that can occur in a given time period before considering the input to be chatter.
Chatter time
Determines the amount of time, from 1…10,000 milliseconds, within which the number of input transitions are counted.
