Configuring the

Inputs to a Reflex

Block

Every block requires that you configure a set of input values. The block diagram that

appears in the center pane of the reflex editor displays the input fields in a column

on the right (as in item 6 below). The following example shows a two-input AND

block:

This example shows a block with three inputs—an Enable and two operational

inputs (Input 1 and Input 2). Each input has its own pull-down list, from which you

will configure the source of each input. Generally, inputs can be derived from one of

four sources:

from another input module on the island bus

from a constant value that you specify (e.g., always enabled, up-count direction)

from the fieldbus master, in the form of the virtual module (See The Virtual

Module, p. 28) or the action module (See Using the Action Module as an Input to

a Block, p. 32)
