NX100

[PAR]

I'm wondering how to set up at group output or input on a NX100 system?

Hi Par:

Welcome to the robot-forum

the DIs and DOs are already setup, if you look in their screen you can actually see which group number they belongs to

To work with them, an example will be

DOUT OG#1 (5)

Doing this, you are automatically turn OT 1 and OT 3 ON


Same idea with the inputs

WAIT IG#4 = 17

and to add to somar... he was typing the same time as me

Group INs and OUTs are already set in the NX.....but only as group = 8 bits or group half = 4 bits

IN 1-8 is grp 1, 9-16 grp 2 and so on
IN 1-4 grp half 1, 5-8 grp half 2, 9-12 grp half 3 and so on
Out are the same.....

LOL

Tony, you know what ? when I was typing the answer , I thought "Where's Tony answer ?"

Ok thanks for the answer but how to do if I need moore than 8bit in the same time?
And I have another question. I'm having profibus connection between robot and a PLC.
I should start the robot from the PLC and I have found the signals for that on the I/O card but wich signals should I use frome the Profibus

Hi PAR,

it depends on the ladder programm you are using, it should be written in the documentation of the robot.

Ladderversion you will find in In/Out under IO message.

Hi,

another one came to my mind but I am not sure, you can try the SETREG function then you can write something in a register and read it out with the bus I guess.

I only heard about it but have never used it by myself maybe somebody can fullfill the idea...

Thanks

[Fabian Munoz]

Minimann is right, those are the M register

PAR:   Can you tell us the type of number you want to transmit ? Give us an example

[tony gast]

Do you have the CIO manual?

Sounds like you will need to do a little ladder work......
Motoman makes the basics very simple for the average programmer.....
Setting registers in the ladder will enable more than 8 bits for numbers larger than 255.....
to expand to advanced/expert levels require diving in a little deeper....But it is still fairly simple
