Starting up first ABB robot system (IRB6400 M97) but have done many Fanuc systems.  Want to convert digital inputs to integer or real to be used for TCP position offset.  What functions would be ideal for such a conversion?

    To convert digital inputs to integers you can use group inputs. These are configured in the I/O system.

    Please look at the documentation for Num for more information about numbers in Rapid.

     

    To make offsets to a position you can use the Offs function.

     

    Good luck!
