GPO - General purpose outputs

The GPO block, or its equivalent C++ routines, is responsible for asserting the specific logic states of the General Purpose Outputs (GPO) pins. This interface allows imperix’s programmable controllers to drive external signals effectively.

Hardware specifications, including location, voltage logic levels and output counts, are summarized in the reference table below. Detailed specifications regarding the GPO can be found within the associated product datasheet. Additionally, a comprehensive technical comparison of imperix’s programmable controllers is provided in PN250.

Simulink block

Signal specification

The GPO pin is set if the input is >0.

Parameters

• Device ID selects which B-Box/B-Board to address when used in a multi-device configuration.
• GPO pin(s) (vectorizable) is the GPO pin(s) to control. It can be a single value or a vector.
• Reset pin value to 0 in case of fault acts when a fault is detected, for instance when an analog inputs exceeds a configured limit value.
• Show simulation output port defines if the simulation output is displayed or not.

PLECS block

Signal specification

The GPO pin is set if the input is >0.

Parameters

• Device ID selects which B-Box/B-Board to address when used in a multi-device configuration.
• GPO pin(s) (vectorizable) is the GPO pin(s) to control. It can be a single value or a vector.
• Optional reset can be set to Reset pin value to 0 in case of fault to act when a fault is detected, for instance when an analog inputs exceeds a configured limit value.
• Simulation input port defines if the target outport is displayed or not. This parameter is only used in simulation.
