AcraDyne iAC4EGV-T Assignable I O Gen IV ACE iAC Controller
Assignable I/O
The Gen IV controller supports assignable I/O.
Buses: The controller is divided up into buses. Each bus has a set of inputs
and a set of outputs. Currently the controller supports the following buses.
| Bus Number | Bus |
|---|---|
| 1 | Physical I/O |
| 2 | Fieldbus (Anybus module) I/O |
| 3 | Modbus TCP |
| 4 | Ethernet/IP |
All assignments have a bus, element, and bit configuration to define its location in the system. The bus value needs to be set from the list above. The element and bit define the location in the bus. The first element on the bus is 0 and goes up the last legal element for the given bus. The bits in each element is referenced from 0(LSB) to 31(MSB).
Inputs
All input assignments have a Bus, Element, and Bit configuration to define its location in the system. Along with the basic configuration many also have other configuration(s) that allow its behavior to be modified to suit the application.

Polarity
When the polarity is set to N.O. the input is considered active high (24vdc for physical inputs and logic 1 for all network type buses). When the polarity is set to N.C. the input is considered active low (0vdc for physical inputs and logic 0 for all network type buses).
Width and Offset
For multiple bit inputs (for example “Select PSet”) the width variable defines
the number of bits the assignment will read for its input. This allows the
input size to be restricted to a few bits saving space for other assignments.
The offset variable allows a fixed value to be added to the read value.
For example to use bits 4 & 5 of the physical inputs to select parameter sets
1-4 the assignment would look like…
Select PSet
Bus| 1| For the physical bus
Element| 0| For the first element on the bus
Bit| 4| For the starting bit location
Width| 2| To span the two bits 4 & 5
Offset| 1| Adding 1 to the read input value so we get…
Binary 00 = 1
Binary 01 = 2
Binary 10 = 3
Binary 11 = 4

The “Set ID” assignment will set the ID to an integer value of the input
value. The width can be set from 1 to 32 bits. The input value will read as an
integer value and an ASCII string with leading zeros will be produced and
passed to the ID recognition system.
The length of the string is based on the width of the assignment. The string will always be sized to accommodate the maximum value of the input. For example a width setting of 16 can have an integer value of 0-65535 so the produced ID would
be “00000” to “65535” (always five character long).

The “Verify PSET” input will compare the current parameter set to the input
value. Uses the width parameter limit the width of the input bits read. The
minimum width is 1 and the maximum is 8. After the input is read the offset
parameter will be added to the value do get the actual parameter set number.
If the parameter set input value does not match the current parameter of the
controller the tool will be disabled.|

since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970 (POSIX time or Epoch time). If the input value
changes and it is non-zero the date and time of the controller will be set to

Setup
• Only 1 Start Input and 1 Dual Start Interlocked Input should be assigned.
• Controller->Tool Setup –> Start Input
Configuration:
○ The Start Input Source Must be set to ‘Start From IO’.
○ Latching throttle is disabled for Dual Interlocked Start.
Dual Start Interlocked – Operation
• The tool will not run unless both inputs are activated within two seconds of each other.
• If the two second timer times out, both inputs must be deactivated to reset the timer.
• If either input is deactivated the tool stops.
• To restart the tool, both inputs must be deactivated then reactivated within two seconds of each other.
Tubenut Tool Homing Exceptions for Dual Start Interlocked functionality
• If controller’s tubenut homing configuration is
set to RELEASE:
○ Deactivating either, or both, of the inputs will initiate the homing sequence.
○ Homing will continue until sequence is complete.
• If controller’s tubenut homing configuration is
set to RELEASE AND REPRESS:
○ Deactivating either of the inputs, then activating both inputs will initiate the homing sequence.
○ Homing will continue while both inputs are active.
○ If either input is deactivated, before homing is complete, the tool will stop, and homing will pause until both inputs are reactivated.
○ To restart tool, after homing is complete, both inputs must be deactivated, then reactivated within two seconds of each other.
|
The “Verify Job Sequence” input will compare the current Job sequence to the
input value. Uses the width parameter limit the width of the input bits read.
The minimum width is 1 and the maximum
is 8. After the input is read the offset parameter will be added to the value do get the actual Job sequence number. If the Job sequence input value does not match the current Job sequence of the controller the tool will be disabled.

Polarity
When the polarity is set to N.O. the output will be high when it is active (24vdc for physical outputs and logic 1 for all network type buses). When the polarity is set to N.C. the output will be low for active (0vdc for physical inputs and logic 0 for all network type buses).
Mode
Normal
In the “Normal” mode the output will track the state of the assignment (while
still observing the polarity setting). If the polarity is set N.O. and the
assignment has an active output the output will be on and stay on till the
assignment goes to inactive.
Timed
In the “Timed” mode the output will come on when the assignments state goes
active and go off based on the time value or the assignment state going
inactive (while still observing the polarity setting). Figure 3: Timed
Mode (assignment deactivates before time expires)
Flash
In the “flash” mode the output will flash at the time rate while the
assignments state is active (while still observing the polarity setting).
Width and Offset
For multiple bit outputs (for example “Running PSet Number”) the width
variable defines the number of bits the assignment will output. This allows
the output size to be restricted to a few bits saving space for other
assignments.
The offset variable allows a fixed value to be added to the value before it is
output.
For example to use bits 4 & 5 of the physical outputs to indicate the selected
parameter set number 1-4 as binary 0-3 the assignment would look like…
Running PSet Number
Bus| 1| For the physical bus
Element| 0| For the first element on the bus
Bit| 4| For the starting bit location
Width| 2| To span the two bits 4 & 5
Offset| -1| Adding -1 to the read input value so we get…
1 = Binary 00
