For example:
INSTRUCTION FUNCTION
SB6 Sets bit 6 of output port
CB4 Clears bit 4 of output port
The Output Bit (OB) instruction is useful for setting or clearing outputs depending on the value of a
variable, array, input or expression. Any non-zero value results in a set bit.
INSTRUCTION FUNCTION
OB1, POS Set Output 1 if the variable POS is non-zero. Clear Output 1 if POS equals 0.
OB 2, @IN [1] Set Output 2 if Input 1 is high. If Input 1 is low, clear Output 2.
OB 3, @IN [1]&@IN [2] Set Output 3 only if Input 1 and Input 2 are high.
OB 4, COUNT [1] Set Output 4 if element 1 in the array COUNT is non-zero.
The output port can be set by specifying an 8-bit word using the instruction OP (Output Port). This
instruction allows a single command to define the state of the entire 8-bit output port, where 2
0
is
output 1, 2
1
is output 2 and so on. A 1 designates that the output is on.
For example:
INSTRUCTION FUNCTION
OP6
Sets outputs 2 and 3 of output port to high. All other bits are 0. (2
1
+ 2
2
= 6)
OP0 Clears all bits of output port to zero
OP 255 Sets all bits of output port to one.

The output port is useful for setting relays or controlling external switches and events during a motion
sequence.
Example - Turn on output after move

BG Begin

SB1 Set Output 1
WT 1000 Wait 1000 msec

Digital Inputs
The DMC-13X8 has eight digital inputs for controlling motion by local switches. The @IN[n]
function returns the logic level of the specified input 1 through 8.
For example, a Jump on Condition instruction can be used to execute a sequence if a high condition is
noted on an input 3. To halt program execution, the After Input (AI) instruction waits until the
specified input has occurred.
