Simple out put

[Clano]

Hi guys,
as you may be aware im using a kuka kr 6/2 robot with a kr c2 robot.
I just need to know how to configure a simple output for a simple action, say turning on a light or something along those lines.
Thanks again

errr. um

what kind of communication are you using to turn on this output?

you first need to set up communication, and then add the info so the outputs and inputs are scanned

communication???
i just want to send an output signal to another machine to start as soon as my program is finished??

This what you want???

PULSE(doJobComplete,TRUE,0.5)     Turns on  for 1/2 second

doJobComplete=TRUE          Turns on and leaves on

This assumes the outputs are declared and named

What Mookie was getting at is that usually, on KRC units, you have to have add-on cards (Interbus, Profibus, etc) to send outputs -- unlike some robots, KUKAs don't generally come with built-in hard-wire I/O these days.  You might have gotten one with the MFC I/O option on the X11 connector, but that's pretty rare these days.

So, "how do I send an ouput?" is dependent to some degree on your hardware config.

If your I/O hardware is already set up, then TonyGast's code is correct, as long as the output has been named.  Without using named signals, something like

$OUT[55] = TRUE
or
PULSE ($OUT[55], TRUE, 0.5)

Would work for Output 55.  Which output number you use depends, again, on your hardware.
