Hello,
The controllers we use all have universal inputs, so for example the same input could be used for a binary, analog, or pulse signal depending on how the controller is programmed.
What would the correct way be to create the controller in the block generator so that the I/O summaries still work / fill automatically? I'm pretty sure i saw another post that said if i used generic terminal the I/O summaries wouldn't show those inputs then.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks for posting on the forum.
An IO channel’s type is selectable from a drop down list. The type used when using the block generator simply sets a default value for the channels that are created.
So, we would recommend defining the controller with the channels that are used the most often (sort of setting it as a default value), and then change their type as needed once the controller is inserted onto the schematics. (Double-click the channel, and change its type from the drop-down list)
Please let us know if this helps!
