Description

ARM_TRAP

None

When non-zero, ARM_TRAP enables the first out trap mechanism.

BCD

None

The binary coded decimal representation of the discrete inputs.

FIRST_OUT

None

A snapshot of OUT_INT when OUT_INT transitions from zero to non-zero while ARM_TRAP is non-zero.

IN_D1 to IN_D16

None

The discrete input values and statuses. The number of inputs is an extensible parameter.

OUT_D

None

The output value that represents the logical OR of the discrete inputs.

OUT_INT

None

The unsigned 32-bit binary weighted output value that represents the bit combination of the inputs.

RESET_IN

None

When non-zero, RESET_IN clears FIRST_OUT. The block sets RESET_IN back to zero at the end of each scan.

RESET_IN does not re-arm the trap. FIRST_OUT remains cleared until one or more inputs are set after all inputs are zero.
