External I/O control means that external equipment controls a robot arm by the external
expansion I/O. In this topic, we take a PLC as the external equipment to describe how to use a PLC
to control the robot arm by the external expansion I/O. Besides the robot arm and PLC, we need to
prepare a DB62 expansion suite (include DB62 cables and expansion board, and purchase
separately). Figure 6.56 shows the DB62 expansion suite.
