Dear All,
How do I register additional I/O on the system
In the control cabinet there are 2 additional I/O units (DSQC 328) but I cannot see the I/O on the teach pendant
Does anyone have any experience of setting up these I/O units
Thank you
DSQC 328 I/O Unit

Do you have robotstudio? If so, you can use the awesome auto configuration tool. Connect to the robot > look in the "Controller" side window > Expand the "I/O System" dropdown > Right-Click Device Net > Select "Start Autoconfiguration" > Follow the steps.
this tool works like a charm. It's a beautiful thing.

In case you are having any trouble configuring it, check for the following.
Go to settings and check if the DeviceNet bus is present -> DeviceNet1 etc.
Add an IO unit to the bus from settings. See if the DSQC328 appears in a drop-down list, else use the EDS file (from ABB, check in the CD/DVD)
Once done, restart the controller. If all good you will not see System Failure and can see the IO unit up.
Now you can add your IO's as per usual.
Cheers!
