Description Use the I/O Setup screen to define I/O signals and configure actions with the I/O tab

control. The types of I/O signals are listed under Input and Output.

You can use a fieldbus, for example, Profinet and EtherNet/IP, to access the general

purpose registers.

If you enable the Tool Communication Interface (TCI), the tool analog input becomes

unavailable.

I/O Signal Type To limit the number of signals listed under Input and Output, use the View drop-down

menu to change the displayed content based on signal type.

Assigning User-

defined Names

You can name the Input and Output signals to easily identify the ones being used.

1. Select the desired signal.

2. Tap the text field to type a name for the signal.

3. To reset the name to default, tap Clear.

You must provide a user-defined name for a general purpose register to make it

available in the program (i.e., for a Wait command or the conditional expression of an If

command).

The Wait and If commands are described in (19.7.4 Waiton page220) and (19.8.4 Ifon

page237), respectively. You can find named general purpose registers in the Input or

Output selector on the Expression Editor screen.

I/O Actions and

I/O Tab Control

You can use Physical and Fieldbus digital I/Os to trigger actions or react to the status of

a program.

I/O Tab Control Use I/O Tab Control to specify whether an output is controlled on the I/O tab (by either

programmers, or both operators and programmers), or if it is controlled by the robot

programs.
