INPUT/OUTPUT MODULE AND CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18036172 titled 'INPUT/OUTPUT MODULE AND CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an I/O module that has an input terminal and an output terminal. It receives setting information from a host controller to set the condition of a signal to be output or the condition between an input signal and the output signal. It also receives second setting information and controls the mode switching. Based on the setting information and the mode, the module outputs a signal with the set value or according to the set condition and the input signal.
- An I/O module with input and output terminals
- Receives setting information from a host controller
- Sets the condition of the output signal or the condition between input and output signals
- Controls mode switching
- Outputs a signal based on the setting information and mode
Potential Applications

- Streamlined communication between the host controller and the I/O module
Original Abstract Submitted
An I/O module includes an input terminal and an output terminal, receives from a host controller first setting information for setting a condition of a value of a signal to be output from the output terminal or a condition between a value of an input signal received by the input terminal and a value of the signal to be output from the output terminal, receives second setting information, controls switching of a mode, and causes, based on the first setting information when the mode is in a first mode and based on the second setting information when the mode is in a second mode, the output terminal to output a signal with the set value or with a value in accordance with the set condition and the value of the input signal received by the input terminal.
