I/O Setup
The Commander core has a number of high-speed inputs and outputs that have dedicated functions. These include position latching inputs and synchronization outputs. If these functions are not needed for your application, they can also be used as general-purpose inputs or outputs.
The Commander core has a number of general-purpose inputs and outputs: configurable digital I/O, analog inputs and PWM outputs. There is a built-in function that will allow a joystick connected to the analog input to be used for control of the X and Y axes.
For more information on the settings required to set up the inputs and outputs, see the following sections in the Commander manual:
- High-speed Inputs/Outputs 2.1.3.2 High-speed Inputs/Outputs
- High-Speed Inputs 2.1.3.2.1 High-Speed Digital Inputs
- Position Latching Inputs
- High-Speed Outputs 2.1.3.2.2 High-Speed Digital Output
- Synchronization Outputs
- General-purpose input/output 2.1.3.3 General-purpose input/output
- Configurable Digital I/O 2.1.3.3.1 Configurable Digital I/O
- Analog Input/output 2.1.3.3.2 Analog Input/output
- Pulse-width modulated Outputs 2.1.3.3.3 Pulse-width modulated Outputs
