4.1.4 Inputting and outputting external signals
This section explains the general methods for signal control when controlling the robot via an external
device (e.g., PLC).
(1) Input signals
Signals can be retrieved from an external device, such as a programmable logic controller.
The input signal is confirmed with a robot status variable (M_In(), etc.) Refer to Page 140, "4.3.26 Robot sta-
tus variables" for details on the robot status variables.

*System variables

(2) Output signals
Signals can be output to an external device, such as a programmable logic controller.
The signal is output with the robot status variable (M_Out(), etc.). Refer to Page 140, "4.3.26 Robot status
variables" for details on the robot status variables.

Command word
Explanation
Wait Waits for the input signal to reach the designated state.
Statement example
Explanation
Wait M_In(1)=1.................................................................
Waits for the input signal bit 1 to turn ON.
M1=M_Inb(20) ..................................................................
Substitutes the input signal bit 20 to 27, as an 8-bit state, in numeric variable M1.
M1=M_Inw(5)....................................................................
Substitutes the input signal bit 5 to 20, as an 16-bit state, in numeric variable M1.

Interrupting with input signal ........................................................ Page 107, "(3) Interrupt"
Command word
Explanation
Clr Clears the general-purpose output signal according to the output signal reset pattern in the
parameter.
Statement example
Explanation
Clr 1...........................................................................
Clears based on the output reset pattern.
M_Out(1)=1 ...............................................................
Turns the output signal bit 1 ON.
M_Outb (8)=0 ............................................................
Turns the 8 bits, from output signal bit 8 to 15, OFF.
M_Outw (20)=0..........................................................
Turns the 16 bits, from output signal bit 20 to 35, OFF.
M_Out(1)=1 Dly 0.5 ...................................................
Turns the output signal bit 1 ON for 0.5 seconds. (Pulse output)
M_Outb (10)=&H0F ...................................................
Turns the 4 bits, from output signal bit 10 to 13 ON, and turns the four bits from 14 to 17 OFF.
