Search for multiple inputs

Hello,

I need to preform a linear search untill 1 of 5 inputs triggers from 1 to 0. SearchL command only accepts 1 input. Any way to combine inputs? Or search for multiple inputs / GI?

The only other ideas I have is to move in a while cycle or stop the movement via Interrupt.

All help and suggestions welcome…

Make a simulated input to which you cross connect those five other real inputs using the OR operator. Use that simulated signal in your search.

Create another signal and use it as a result in a Cross Connection with the other 5 as Or conditions, then use the new signal in your SearchL

I assume this is done in software not electrically? Maybe you can give me a code snippet or refer to the instructions used? I did not find anything obvious in rapid reference manual…

Found it.
Configuration → I/O system → Cross Connection.

Thanks!

That is because you need to read the System Parameter manual for cross connections. No code is required.
