G1400B Dedicated Digital Outputs
The G1400B adds one dedicated digital output to the standard dedicated signals found in the
Guidance Controller, as shown in Table 6-2.
Users normally do not need to modify the setting of the status lamp (IO 20) since the standard robot
software typically manages this signal. However, this signal can be manually altered under program
control via the GPL SIGNAL.DIO instruction. This is controlled by DOUT signal 20 (Table 6-2). If
direct control of this signal is desired, DataID 235 should be set to 0 and signal number 20 should be
controlled by program control.
