I/O Signal

In Robotstudio i bulit a modell factory, in which a robot positioned pallets with a gripper on a shelf.
In the System i teach the Positions, but i don't know how i can use the I/O Signal of the gripper ?
I create the Gripper with the I/O Signals in another System.
In the I/O Configurator i can see two systems, the robot and the gripper.

    Hi,

    To Control your Smart Component gripper from the robot system, you need to setup I/O Connections between the gripper and the robot system. You do that at the "Station Logic" window that you will find in the Simulation tab.

    Hi,

    I try to control the gripper with my robot system, but i can in the ''station logic'' only connect the the entire center with the gripper, but i want to connect the robot with the gripper.
    Is it possible that i can control the samrt component, without the the rapid editor. I mean  to creat a path, with the gripper signals?

    Hi,
    To control your gripper with the robot system, you need to configure I/O-signals in the system. To control the Smart Component (e.g. open and close the gripper) you need one or more digital output signals in the system. If you want an answer back from the SC to the robot you also need digital input signal(s). The signals configured in the robot should then be connected to the gripper in "Station Logic". When you have done this you can add RAPID instructions to your path to open and close the gripper (SetDO), and wait for the digital input to verify that it's opened or closed (WaitDI). You can add these instructions in the RAPID editor or in the Paths&Targets browser by using "Insert Action Instruction". You can also manually set the signals from the I/O simulator.
    If you not have any I/O signals configured in your system you can use the attached cfg-file as an example. To load the cfg-file to the system use "Load Parameters" in the Controller tab. But first rename it to EIO.cfg.
