Chapter 3: I/O Control
KINGSTAR offers a string of I/O control functions that read or write data into your I/O module in different unit. To access the specific location of the data, you can set the offset. The function's name indicates the unit of reading, writing, or offsetting data. For example, the unit of ReadInputBit is bit, and WriteOutputWord is word.
In this chapter, you'll learn how to use functions to read and write your I/O modules.
