Configuring an sDIO
Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. K 69
Modifying the Default sDIO Configuration
In most system installations you can use the default I/O configurations, and you will not
have to modify the I/O configuration. If you need to modify the I/O configuration, use
the steps given in Configuration Procedure.
NOTE: Blocks 1-15 are typically reserved for robot signals. Blocks 1-6 are
preconfigured for Robots 1-6 for the 3000 series hand control signals,
including the signals used by the V+ OPEN, OPENI, CLOSE, CLOSEI,
RELAX, RELAXI statements. See the V+ documentation for more details
about these statements.
In the following situations, you must go through a configuration process to modify the
sDIO modules:
• when you have more than two sDIO modules
• when you choose not to use the default I/O configuration (blocks 16 and 17)
• when you replace an sDIO in either of the two preceding situations
NOTE: The first sDIO can use the default configuration; each additional
sDIO must be assigned unique block numbers, between 16 and 31.
In these cases you will use Adept ACE software to select the block number and to assign
the Input and Output signals.
Configuration Procedure
From the Adept ACE software:
1. Double-click on the controller in the tree structure pane.
This will open the object editor for the controller.
2. Click the Configure tab, then Configure V+.
• Select DIGITAL_INPUT to modify the input settings.
• Select DIGITAL_OUTPUT to modify the output settings.
