Port configuration

Controller port configuration

A controller has the following port configuration.

Attribute	Description	Remark
Max. joint ports	The maximum number of joints and other axes the controller can connect to.	—
Max. logic in-ports	The maximum number of logical ports on the input side of the controller.	—
Max. logic out-ports	The maximum number of logical ports on the output side of the controller.	—
Prefix in-ports	A prefix string for the input port names.	A vendor-specific prefix is inserted automatically but can be edited.
Prefix out-ports	A prefix string for the output port names.	A vendor-specific prefix is inserted automatically but can be edited.
Counting type	Defines the numbering and counting scheme used for the ports.	The counting type is usually vendor-specific.
Offset logic in-ports	The offset value at the counting start of the input ports.	The offset value must use the same numbering system as the counting type. Example: Starting with byte address I10 corresponds to an offset value of 80.
Offset logic out-ports	The offset value at the counting start of the output ports.	The offset value must use the same numbering system as the counting type. Example: Starting with hexadecimal address QA corresponds to an offset value of 10.
