Input Lines View
The Input Lines view is used to assign an input function to an input line. This view is divided into two windows. The “Input
Function” window, on the left side, displays the input functions available and the function configuration. The “Input Line”
window, on the right side, displays the input lines, attached input functions and the debounce value.
To assign an input function, position the mouse pointer over the function on the left to assign it to the line on the right. Press
the left mouse button while over the function, and hold the button down. While holding the left button down, drag the function
until the pointer is positioned over the desired line and release the left mouse button.
To unassign an input function, position the pointer over the function on the left. Press the left mouse button while over the
function, and hold the button down. While holding the left button down, drag the function over to the right and release the
left mouse button.

Input Function Window
This window allows the user to select an input function and assign it to an input line. When online with the device there will
be a virtual LED to the left of the input function name that shows the state of the input function.
Configuration
The configuration of each input function is displayed next to the input function when the active state is changed from default.
The default configuration is Active On.
Active Off Check Box
This check box allows you to change the “Active On/Off” state. Select the desired input function in the input function
window, then select or clear the “Active Off” check box.
Making an input function “Active On” means that it will be active when 10 Vdc to 30 Vdc is applied to the input line it’s
assigned to and is inactive when no voltage is applied to the line. Making an input function "Active Off" means that it will
be active when no voltage is applied to the input line and inactive while 10 Vdc to 30 Vdc is being applied.
Always Active Check Box
This check box is used to make an input function “Always Active”. When you make an input function always active, it’s
active whether assigned to an input line or not. If you make an input function “Always Active” then assign it to an input line,
that function will be active whether or not voltage is applied to the assigned line.
