Add the IO and IOHUB resource with the following command:

[12:34:17] ABILIS_CPX:a res:io

COMMAND EXECUTED

[11:43:33] ABILIS_CPX:a res:iohub

COMMAND EXECUTED
[Note]Note

IOHUB resource is required to enable web sections: Automation and Automation Log.

[Caution]Caution

Remember to save the configuration using save conf and an Abilis restart are required (i.e. With warm start command).

The RIO device is added from the web interface, please see Section 72.24, “Rio/Rvs configuration”.

Use the following command to display resource parameters; the command d p rio ? displays the meaning of all parameters.

The following command allows the administrator to change the configuration of the resource:

s p rio-1 parameter:value...

[Caution]Caution

To activate the changes made, execute the initialization command init res:rio.

Example: to set a pulse of 500 ms on Digital Out number 1 to open the Gate #1 type the following command:

[12:38:32] ABILIS_CPX:s p rio-1 d-out:1 descr:Gate#1 mode:pulse pulse-t:500

COMMAND EXECUTED

Initialize the device and save the configuration with init res:rio-1 and save conf .
