Pre-Scan
On the transition into RUN, the controller performs a pre-scan before the first
logic scan. pre-scan is a special scan of all routines in the controller. The
controller scans all main routines and subroutines during Pre-Scan, but ignores
jumps that could skip the execution of instructions. The controller executes all
FOR loops and subroutine calls. If a subroutine is called more than once, it is
executed each time it is called. The controller uses Pre-Scan instructions to
reset non-retentive data values.
During pre-scan, input values are not current and outputs are not written. The
following conditions generate pre-scan:
toggle from Program to Run mode.
automatically enter Run mode from a power-up condition.
pre-scan does not occur for a program when:
the program becomes scheduled while the controller is running.
the program is unscheduled when the controller enters Run mode.

If the user modifies the data in the input field and moves to a different field without
pressing the Enter key, the border remains a solid line indicating that the data has not
been saved to the tag.

If the data in the Input Field has not changed or has been written to the controller

Chapter
Overview
The Discrete Input Add-On Instruction is used to receive and process a single
discrete condition (a bit, the Process Variable or PV), typically for a channel of
a discrete input card. It can be used with any discrete (BOOL) signal. The
Discrete Input Add-On Instruction includes the capability to generate a
discrete input Status, such as from a low level switch, high vibration switch, or
flow switch, plus a Target Disagree Status and Alarm.
Use when:
You want to display the state of a process temperature, level, flow,
proximity, pressure or other switch.
You need any of these signal processing or alarming features for a
Discrete Input or any Discrete (bit) value:
Debounce of the discrete input signal.
Target Disagree Status and optional Alarm when the Discrete
Input is not in a Target state for some period of time.
Target Disagree Status and optional Alarm when a gating condition
is true for some period of time.
Display of the input state with configurable text on an HMI object
with operator faceplate call-up.
Ability for Maintenance to provide a substitute value when the
device has failed.
Do NOT use when:
You only need to show or not show the state of a bit on an HMI display.
Use basic display objects (text, multi-state indicators) with appropriate
animation instead.
You only need to generate an alarm from some condition you already
have in your code. Use the P_Alarm Add-On Instruction or the ALMD
built-in instruction instead.

Overview
Functional Description
The functions of the P_DIn Instruction are shown in the following figure:
Overview
Primary Operations
Chapter 1
The primary operations of the Discrete Input Add-On Instruction and its
faceplate are to:
Provide display of the input state; the 0-state and 1-state names are
configurable. The input state is also displayed independently, even when
the input is substituted.
Provide a Target Disagree Status and optional Alarm based on
comparing the input state against a target (good) state. The Target
Disagree Status is enabled by a gating input signal with a configurable
gate delay. The Target Disagree Status and Alarm On-Delay and
Off-Delay are configurable.
Handle an I/O Fault input by displaying the communication fault to the
operator.
Provide for selection and entry of a manual (substitute) PV. This manual
override is made clearly visible to the operator.
Provide support for a simulated PV for use in instruction testing,
demonstration or operator training.
Operating Modes
The Discrete Input Add-On Instruction does not use Modes, and the P_DIn
instruction does not contain an embedded P_Mode Add-On Instruction.
Alarm Acknowledge, Reset, Disable, Suppress and Inhibit and related
Commands are accepted at any time. Operator Commands are restricted via
the security functions of the HMI; see the HMI Reference.
Enabling and Disabling the Substitute PV function can be done by
Maintenance personnel, subject to HMI security rights and Engineering
configuration at any time. Once the Substitute PV function is Enabled, the
Operator can enter a Substitute PV Value, subject to HMI security rights, at
any time.

Overview
Revision Compatibility
The P_DIn Add-On Instruction in RSLogix 5000 software and the Faceplate
in FactoryTalk View software are marked with revision information as shown
in the following table:.
Component
Example
The Instruction and Faceplate are compatible if they have the same Major and
Minor Revision numbers.
The Major Revision is the first number, before the period.
The Minor Revision is the second number, after the period and before the
hyphen or space.
Information after the hyphen or space indicates the Tweak Revision. The
Instruction and Faceplate do not have to have the same Tweak Revision to be
compatible.
In the table above, the Add-On Instruction and Faceplate shown are
compatible because they have the same Major.Minor (1.1).
