Watlow F4 Digital Input (Pause, Start, Terminate)

[Dave3432]

Has anyone had any luck using the digital inputs on the Watlow F4 controller?  Once the profile is running I cant pause, start, or terminate it using the digital inputs.
 
I've been using the NI drivers and everything else is working but I've hit a roadblock with this.  Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Problem solved.
If anyone runs into this problem in the future here is the explanation:
Digital inputs are only toggled from high to low, or vice versa, through a ~5V signal to the proper connection in the rear of the controller.  This connection and related information is listed in the manual.  However, I wanted to do trigger the same response (in order to hold, resume, and terminate) using MODBUS communication.  Instead of trying to write to the Digital In registers (1060-1067), which only configures the 4 Digital In's, write to the appropriate "key press simulation" registers.
They are 1210, 1209, and 1217 respectively.

Hi Dave,

Did Mr Kaust ever give you the watlow controller software. I could use the controller software as well.
