SENDING NUMERIC DATA WITH DO[x] using GO[x]
This procedure sets up communication with Digital Outputs using through a Group Output. This is a simple way to transmit numeric data to another device in the field. Group Output 1 will be set as a 16-bit word. DO[33] to DO[48] will be used to transmit the data. Digital Outputs must be configured as usual. This procedure is typical for Omron NX I/O block.

of this page .)
DURATION
+/- 15 minutes
RECOMMENDATION
Make sure to create a backup of your settings before making any modifications.
DANGER
If your Inputs/Outputs aren't set properly, a mechanical system could be activated by inadvertence.
VIDEO TUTORIAL
STEP BY STEP
- PRESS --> [ I/O ]
- PRESS --> [ F1 ] [ TYPE ]
- SELECT --> [ 5 ] 5 GROUP (see screenshot
)
- PRESS --> [ IN/OUT ] (If you don’t have the screen of “I/O Group Out”)
- PRESS --> [ F2 ] CONFIG
- Using Arrow on line of GO #1, ENTER --> 89 in “RACK” column. (Corresponding to Ethernet I/P rack number)
- PRESS --> [ ENTER ]
- Using Arrow on line of GO #1, ENTER --> 1 in “SLOT” column. (Corresponding Slot of Ethernet I/P set up for this particular device)
- PRESS --> [ ENTER ]
- Using Arrow on line of GO #1, ENTER --> 33 in “START PT” column. (Corresponding Start bit of Ethernet I/P set up for Digital outputs)
- PRESS --> [ ENTER ]
- Using Arrow on line of GO #1, ENTER --> 16 in “NUM PTS” column. (Corresponding to the number of bits composing the numeric data. In this case, it is a 16 bits word)
- PRESS --> [ ENTER ] (see screenshot
)
- PRESS --> [ FCTN ]
- SELECT --> [ 0 ] 0 NEXT
- SELECT --> [ 8 ] 8 CYCLE POWER (see screenshot
)
- PRESS --> [ YES ] (see screenshot
)
To check if this procedure works, put in a program something like this line: GO[1]= 65535. Run this line in STEP mode. All Digital Outputs from DO[33] to DO[48] will be ON. (see screenshot )
