I'm working on a project where the engineer at the plant is telling me you can use standard inputs for resets, for example resetting an E-stop block.
I've only used the PointIO safety a handful of times and with every application, all inputs related to safety were brought into the IB8S modules, including the resets. I attempted to use a controller tag from a non-safety input for the reset tag, but as I figured, the program does not allow it.
I don't disagree that a reset should be allowed to be controlled from a non-safety IO point, but from my experience, only safety IO is allowed in those routines.
