 Logic Functions
• It Step
startsLogic
with a philosophy
• Logical functions
• Digital Input AND, OR, NOR
• Timer Function
• Digital Output(s) used
• Counter Function
• Digital Output(s) used
 Step Logic Function
• Up to 8 step available (0 – 7)
• [Stp Logic 0 – 7] parameters A140 – A147
• Uses Preset Frequencies only
• [Preset Freq 0 – 7] parameters (A070 – A077)
• Time Based Steps
• [Stp Logic Time 0 – 7] parameters A150 – A157
• [Speed Reference] P038 setting “Stp Logic”
 Step Logic Example

Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7

time
 Logic Function
• Digital Inputs
• “Logic In1” & “Logic In2”
• Logic Programming
• Define logic required for machine
• Digital Outputs
• On or Off depending on the state of the logic inputs.
• Can be used with or without Step Logic
 Logic Example

Start Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Freq

Logic In1

Logic In2
 Timer Function
• Digital Inputs
• “Timer Start”, “Reset Timer”, “Reset Timer & Counter”
• Digital Output(s)
• Set Timer level
• Output changes state when level reached
• Can be used with or without Step Logic
 Timer Example
Preset Freq 1 Analog
30 Hz Reference

 Counter Function
• Digital Inputs
• “Counter In”, “Reset Counter”, “Reset Timer & Counter”
• Digital Output(s)
• Set Count level
• Output changes state when level reached
• Can be used with or without Step Logic

 Step Logic Programming
• 4 digit code defines step actions
• Digit 3
• Defines the action during the current step
• Digit 2
• Defines what step to jump to when Digit 1 logic met
• Digit 1
• Defines the logic required for the “jump”
• Digit 0
• Defines the logic for the “next” step (numeric progression)
Logic Codes
 Applications for Step Logic
• Speed profile based on time
• Simple indexing Fwd & Rev with coarse positioning
using presence sensors.
• Traversing Fwd & Rev of carriage with coarse
positioning using presence sensors.
• Parts counter and diverter
