SC Series Controllers
Configuration
Inputs
Description
Task: Type the task number to verify when this input is asserted.
Spindle: Type the spindle number for which the task is to be verified.
TASK VERIFY
When asserted on any input bus, the controller verifies the selected task number is equal to
BIT
this input's task number. Use the BIT parameter to select the task number to verify. If there is
a mismatch between the active task and the selected task the tool is disabled. This is one bit
of a binary number created by many of these bits. See SELECT TASK BIT to understand how
to use bits to create binary numbers.
When removed verification will not happen.
Size: 1 bit, except on fieldbus where it can be size any size to fit the need.
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Bit: Type the number this bit will be in the binary number scheme to verify a task.
Mode: All TASK VERIFY BITs must be the same mode, no mixing of modes allowed.
Binary – Creates a decimal number equivalent to the weighted value of this binary bit(s).
Binary + 1 – Creates a number equivalent to the weighted value of this binary bit(s) and add
the value of one (1) to that number.
Spindle: Type the spindle number for which the task is to be verified.
* Inputs available only fieldbus inputs.

Output descriptions
SC controllers contain a 24V DC Input and Output Connector. Each of the output functions has Configuration
settings: Contact types, Output types and others. It is recommended to configure them immediately once the
output functions are assigned to a pin.
Contact Type
The Contact Type can be Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.).
Sourcing Outputs (PNP type)
If an output's contact type is normally open and the output is asserted, the output pin transitions from 0V DC to
24V DC. If an output's contact type is normally closed and the output is asserted, the output pin transitions from
24V DC to 0V DC.
Sinking Outputs (NPN type)
If an output's contact type is normally open and the output is asserted, the output pin transitions from 24V DC to
0V DC. If an output's contact type is normally closed and the output is asserted, the output pin transitions from
0V DC to 24V DC.
Output Type
The Output Type defines the behaviour of the output signal.
Normal – The output asserts and stays asserted until a reset condition occurs.
Minimum On Time – Keeps the output asserted for this minimum time in seconds, even though a reset condition
occurs. After the timer is finished, the output resets if a reset condition has occurred, otherwise it remains
asserted until a reset condition occurs.
