Setting	Description
Input Type	This setting specifies the input type that is used. Select an input type based on your system configuration: Disabled is the default. No input type is selected (no digital input is assigned). Drive Digital: The button is connected to an input on a drive. Virtual Binary: This is a general-purpose register. To set this register from a program, use the VirtualBinaryInputSet() function. If you are using an Ethernet I/O module connected to the PC for this input, then you must select this option and write this value in a task program.
Axis Index	This setting specifies which axis is used for input. The default axis is 0 (typically Axis X). This setting does not apply if you select Virtual Binary as the Input Type.
Input Number	This setting specifies which input is used. The input number is zero-based. The default value is input zero.
