1.

Identify the PLC notation of the desired input. A table of the PLC mapping is given in
Section 6.6. In our example, ISO_IN0 maps to A0 or Line0.

2.

Select a Signal Routing Block (SRB) that has a connection to the desired PLC input and
connect it to the PLC input. In our example, SRB PLC_I0 will be used as it has a connection
to Line0. To connect the SRB to input, set PLC_I<x> to the input. In the example, set PLC_I0
to Line0.

3.

Identify the PLC notation of the desired output. A table of the PLC mapping is given in
Section 6.6. In the example Q4 is the desired output.

4.

Connect the LUT that corresponds to the desired output to the SRB from step 2. In the
example, PLC_Q4 is connected to PLC_I0. Note that every LUT has the capability to connect
up to 4 inputs. In the example only the first input (PLC_Q4_Variable0) is used. The other
inputs are ignored by setting the PLC_Q4_Variable to Zero and the PLC_Q4_Operator to
Or for inputs 1 to 3.

5.

If a PLC output is used to connect to a camera trigger, then the corresponding Trigger
Source must be activated. In the example, TriggerSource is set to PLC_Q4 and TriggerMode
is set to On.

7.10.2

PLC Settings for ISO_IN0 to PLC_Q4 Camera Trigger

This setting connects the ISO_IN0 to the internal camera trigger, see Table 7.1 (the visibility in
the PF_GEVPlayer must be set to

Guru

for this purpose).
