CreateDigitalInput() [2/5]

IOPoint * CreateDigitalInput ( Axis * axis, RSIMotorGeneralIo motorGeneralIoNumber )

static

Description:

Parameters

axis
motorGeneralIoNumber	::RSIMotorGeneralIo

Returns

(IOPoint*) A pointer to the newly created IOPoint.

Part of the IOPoint Creation method group.

Sample Code:

IO: Input & Output

    const int NODE_INDEX = 0;    // the EtherCAT Node we will be communicating with
    const int OUTPUT_INDEX = 0;  // the PDO Index in that Node
 
    // create IOPoint for digital output - automatically gets memory index of specified node and output index
    IOPoint output0 = IOPoint.CreateDigitalOutput(controller.NetworkNodeGet(NODE_INDEX), OUTPUT_INDEX);
 
    // set the output to false
    output0.Set(false);
    Console.WriteLine($"Output {OUTPUT_INDEX} set to: false");
 
    // wait one sample for the change to take effect
    controller.SampleWait(1);
 
    // read back the value
    bool outputValue = output0.Get();
    Console.WriteLine($"Output {OUTPUT_INDEX} value: {outputValue}");
 
    // set the output to true
    output0.Set(true);
    Console.WriteLine($"Output {OUTPUT_INDEX} set to: true");
 
    controller.SampleWait(1);
    outputValue = output0.Get();
    Console.WriteLine($"Output {OUTPUT_INDEX} value: {outputValue}");
