ETS5 Addressing Question
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2015 2:24 pm
I was just wondering if these two cases are feasible in real practice. Please help me understand the logic behind this.
-Is it feasible to assign multiple actuator outputs to a single group object?
-Is it feasible to assign multiple sensor inputs to a single group object?
Example would be, assigning sensor input to actuator which is designated to turn it 'on/off' (one address)
then using this same address to make the same output 'flash'. So when I turn flip the switch, the output is set 'on' and at the same time will start flashing.
It functions theoretically as I have tried this on software and simulation with physical connections to a sensor and actuator.
My main concern is that, if this is feasible (will it depend on the hardware whether it is?) or should I just stick to standards?
e.g addressing it one by one per function.
Thank you!
