Specifications for all digital I/Os

This section defines the electrical specifications for the following 24-V digital I/O ports on the control unit:

  • Safety inputs/outputs
  • General inputs/outputs

Install the robot in accordance with the electrical specifications, which vary depending on the inputs and outputs. Some of the output ports on the I/O blocks are connected to an internal 24-V power supply and some of the inputs are connected to ground.

Assignment of the I/O terminal blocks

Illustration 35: Assignment of the I/O terminal blocks

Safety blocks S1 through S6 are highlighted in blue.

Explanation of the other connections on the safety block:

  • Res – external reset
  • AM – automatic mode
  • MM – manual mode
  • P1 – pulse signal (for operating modes and external devices)
  • RO – system/emergency stop relay output
  • RI – system/emergency stop relay input
  • S(1.1-2.2) – system shutdown
  • sup – surveillance robot stopped

The remaining pins are described in Secure inputs/outputs.
