Search vs Direct Input

    Hello all robot programmers.
    This time I have this question.

    I would like to use the search function with a lincoln welder and a DX100 controller, and I find out that the search optional function only accepts Direct inputs....Is any way to address this matter.??
    The CIO is informing to the welder power supply that a search in under execution and the welder send back a signal when the wire touch the part but the program will not detect it since it only accept direct inputs... (The welder in totally digital) :waffen100:
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    you will have to map the signal from the Lincoln to a physical output and wire that output to the search input.

    Two things to note:
    1) the search input board is not standard with a DX, there are parts that come with the search option. If you didn't buy the search function you will not have the parts.
    2) doing this will make the touch 20 ms late (scan time of CIO), so you will have to limit the speed you search at.
