Changing Input config on the fly
« on: June 06, 2012, 12:59:37 PM »
Hi,
Anyone know if it is possible to change the pin config on a controller pin on the fly e.g. via display or service tool?
I want to use the input as resistive for now but the customer in the future wants to use 0-5v I/P, can this be done?
Thanks

Gregor

I have changed the pinconfig of output pins via "switch" for a small hydraulicvalve testbench, we use at our workshops.

Greetings Gregor

Thanks Gregor,
I have made the change and it seems to compile ok but don't know if it works (but I think it should).

Thanks again
Larry

You may have to power cycle the controller/display for the pin config to take effect...

I just added a switch (bool controlled) to change the pin config on an MC5010 and it would not compile until I deleted the INIT symbol connected to the config wire.  Maybe it's template dependant but I got a compile error message along the lines of ' invalid output connected to component'.  Switch outputs are not compatible with INIT symbols.

Hello Team.

I do it like this.
You have to leave the constant in the page but not connected as the initialization process looks for that component ( I think?)
I also do the same on the outputs when needed.
