Chapter 7 Operating DIO Manager

7.4.3 Monitor
Acquires data in succession from the Robot Controller.
button has the same function as the Monitor command.
Before executing the Monitor command, ensure that the Manager is connected
with the Robot Controller.
During monitoring, the DIO Manager acquires the data only of I/O numbers
displayed on the screen from the Robot Controller, and does not acquire the
I/O number data not displayed on the screen. You can, therefore, specify the
data acquisition range by displaying the I/O numbers to be monitored.
Monitor intervals can be set with the timer intervals. Refer to “7.5.1.1 Monitor”.
7.4.4 Pseudo input/output
To emulate (dummy input/output) the state in the Robot Controller, false I/Os
are provided in the Robot Controller in addition to the actual I/Os. Selection of
the actual versus false I/Os can be specified for each port by turning the
Dummy SW grid of the table display ON-OFF.
When the Dummy input/output button
is turned ON, every port with the
Dummy SW grid set to ON will function as a dummy I/O.
If the button
is turned OFF, all the I/O signals are activated as the actual I/O
signals irrespective of the setting of the Dummy SW grid in the table.
Valid setting range of dummy I/Os is as follows:
Standard mode
34-55, 552-575+(DeviceNet input slot number-8)×8
Interchange mode
21-55, 536-559+(DeviceNet input slot number-8)×8
Note: DeviceNet input slot number may be referred to with the hardware.
If DeviceNet is not installed, the range will be only 34-55 (Standard
mode) or 21-55 (Interchange mode).
