Storing a group output value to a variable

Prasanna

Hello All,
Am using IRB6700 robot for pick and place Palletization application. i recive the count values from siemens PLC using profinet. Assigned Group Input and Group Output to receive decimal values from PLC to robot. But i do nit know how to store the decimal values of Group Output in a variable.

Any sample code would be helpful. Or any other method also appreciated.

Thanks

Rapid function GInput to read the value of a group input signal, and GOput to read a group output signal.

Code below, no data declarations though.

nMyNumber:=gi_myGroupInput;
SetGO go_MyGroupOutput,nMyNumber;

Thanks all.

Also i would like to know is there any way to send and receive integer from PLC via Profinet instead of using Group inputs and outputs.

Set it up as an analog signal.  Refer to system parameter manual, inputs/outputs.

Hello all.

I have got an error when executing the following Instruction:
Var Signalgi PINFEED_CNT;
var num count;
count:=PINFEED_CNT;

Am getting Alias IO instruction error.

The group input needs to be setup in the EIO configuration file not in RAPID.
