Assignment Polarity
The active state of an assignment can be programmed to
be Active Off, Active On, or Custom using PowerTools Pro.
Making an assignment "Active On" means that the
Destination will become active when the Source it is
assigned to becomes active, and is inactive when the
Source is inactive. Making an assignment "Active Off"
means that the Destination will be active when the Source
it is assigned to becomes inactive, and will be inactive
when the Source is active.
The polarity of the assignment can also be changed to
Custom when required. Custom polarity allows you to
make a Destination activate and deactivate based on two
different Sources.
Note
Destination functions that initiate motion
(Jog.PlusInitiate, Jog.MinusInitiate,
Index.#.Initiate, Home.#.Initiate, and
Gear.Activate) should not be set to "Active Off".
This could cause motion to initiate on loss of I/O
Power.
Default polarity for a new assignment is Active On. There
are two methods that can be used to change the polarity of
an assignment.

destinations.
