10.2.3. Connection of Photoelectronic Sensor
If a photoelectronic sensor is used for detection of workpieces, connect the output signal of the
photoelectronic sensor to a general input signal of the robot controller. Any general input signal number of
the robot controller can be selected.
In this section, a connection example where the photoelectronic sensor signal is connected to the 6th
general input signal is shown in “Figure 10−13 Photoelectronic Sensor Connection Example (6th General
Input Signal is Used).”
