Hi,
ports and pins are assigned in the UC300 plugin. The assigned pins are then attached to Machs input and output signals.
With the ESS plugin, lets say I assign a new pin, say port 3 pin 3 as an output and call it VacPump, as the ESS plugin
allows for aliases. Then also within the ESS plugin I will attach that pin to OSIG_OUTPUT20 say. With the ESS plugin when
you assign one of machs signals like this the plugin will ALSO AUTOMATICALLY update Machs Control plugin so the
two remain consistent.
From your description you can assign a pew port and pin. Then you attach it to a Mach signal. But are you also making the
same assignment in the Control plugin? While the ESS plugin does so automatically the UC300 plugin, to my knowledge,
does not.
Note that at shutdown ALL of Machs variables are flushed to the profile .ini file to be available for the next restart.
