Configure I/O-signals in the system

jessmupo

Hi!
I create the Gripper and the I/O signals with a smart component. I you need to setup I/O connections between the gripper and the robot system, but I don't find the I/O of the robot. How could I do this? 
I read something about EOI file, what is this?
Thanks!!!

You can setup I/O in RobotStudio > Configuration > IO. Under the IO menu, you can create a Unit Type of Virtual (if it's not already created), then create a Unit tied to that Virtual Unit Type, then individual Signals mapped to that Unit. The RobotStudio manual is a good source of details for this process.

The EIO file is basically the code version of these menus. You can see yours by right-clicking on the virtual controller in the Controller tab, doing a backup, then looking in the SYSPAR folder for the EIO.cfg file in Notepad.
