I/O Configuration
- Select the I/O to display on the monitoring page.
- Enter the alias of the IO on the right side. The alias will be displayed on the monitoring page. You can also call the corresponding I/O through the alias in block programming and script programming.
- With a CCBOX-type controller, you can set digital input/output type to PNP (high-level active) or NPN (low-level active), as shown in the figure below.
Monitoring
Controller I/O and Tool I/O page supports the following functions.
- Output: Set the digital output or analog output.
- Monitor: Monitor the status of the input and output.
- Simulate: Simulate digital input status for debugging, as shown below.
You can set the functions of each safe I/O interface in the Safe I/O page. For details on the safe I/O, refer to the I/O description in the corresponding robot hardware guide.
With a CCBOX-type controller, safe I/O and universal I/O share the same terminal. The terminal configured as safe I/O cannot be configured as remote I/O.
