Front GPIO

The Front GPIO covers the basic trigger setup of your LightBridge 2 VCL. Its trigger connectors allow to control peripheral devices (PLC) and to synchronize multiple LightBridge 2 VCL devices.

The socket is located directly on the front side:

In default configuration, the trigger connectors of the Front GPIO offer:

Custom Configuration

 

The physical interface of the Front GPIO is configurable. If you need another configuration of the input signals, i.e.:

  • Pull-down mode,
  • 4 single-ended signals (and no differential signals),

you can easily configure the GPIs according to your needs. For configuration, you use a command line tool which has been installed on your system together with the Silicon Software runtime.

For more information, see Input Configuration and Configuring the Physical Properties of Trigger Signals.
