Can I turn on a digital I/O using Robot Web Services directly?

sabby

If not, would writing a rapid routine to turn on the output and posting http://localhost/rw/rapid/execution?action=start work?
Any other better methods to recommend?

You could send a POST request to /rw/iosystem/signals/{network}/{device}/{signal} to do this:

Would this work for your use case?

I personally like using ajax libraries.

function Set_Pneumatics(x) {

    var data = {

        "url": "/rw/iosystem/signals/EtherNetIP/IO_Balluff/doBlowOff?action=set",

        "method": "post",

        "queries": { "action": "set" },

        "data": { "lvalue": x }

        "auth": { "user": "Default User", "password": "robotics" }

    }

    $.ajax(data);

}
