2. outputs If you are going to use the 1064 in its default mode you need only plug the 064 into one of the V16 s serial ports and write programming for the V16 If you wish the 1064 to do more than just be an expansion box for the V16 you can program it to be more intelligent as described below Using the 1064 Inputs The 1064 inputs work just like V16 or V4 inputs Each input can be assigned to provide start pause stop or reset triggers to any or all sequences downloaded to the 1064 The 1064 can then be programmed to perform stand alone operations in response to these input changes or can send a message to the V16 or V4 or both The 1064 is shipped with a sample script called IO6O4MAIN AMX This script sends a Set State Variable message in response to each of the 32 inputs changing A different value is sent when the inputs go on and go off These state variable values can then be used by a V16 or V4 to trigger their sequences This sample script can be used as is or additional functions can be added As shipped the script sends changes to state variable 32 The 1064 inputs are shipped with 1 5K ohm thru DIP resistors which are suitable for operating the inputs off of 24 VDC Lower operating voltages will require proportionately lower resistance The positive voltage should be connected to the top row of the rear panel connector with the return on the lower row General Serial Control The 1064 is controlled by serial messages Th
