6.1 General
The PIB is an I/O unit with integrated wire feed regulator communicating directly
with the ABB robot control system S4Cplus for control and monitoring of the
robot welding.
The configuration is done in the same way as for a standard I/O unit.
The PIB characteristics are determined by the transfer of configuration parameters
for power sources and feed units.
The communication with the robot computer is serial and is maintained by way of
a CAN bus.
The PIB I/O connections are grouped together for direct cable connection to units
such as power sources, wire feed units, gun cleaners, sensors, etc. See Figure 19.
