Use the Digital I/O Points Communication Dialog

Use the Digital I/O Points Communication dialog to set

any of the relays or DIO pins active when an alarm

condition occurs in the channel. Status of all of the relays

and DIO pins can also be viewed and IO bits and relays

can be set or cleared.

• Bits or relays that are set show a green dot.

• Bits or relays set by an alarm have a red dot.

• A bit set by an external signal has a blue dot.

There is no way to set a relay externally. When a relay is

set, it has closed contacts. When a bit is set, it has a logic

low signal (also called active low).

To view the digital I/O points dialog:

1. Click

on the Software toolbar.

2. Highlight an I/O module in the TreeView panel and

the Digital I/O Points dialog is shown.
