We are working on developing a pick and assemble process using a Kuka LBR iiwa robot. We will need to share some interlock I/O signals between the robot and a conveyor and some other equipment associated with the process. There doesn't seem to be any dedicated user I/O built into the robot cabinet (X-11 appears to be for safety related I/O only). I am guessing that we will need to add an Ethercat remote I/O module for user I/O. We just setup X-65 for use with a Robotiq gripper,-- would we just add an I/O module on the same bus or is there a better way to setup user I/O?

For discreet IOs we used a bekhoff EK1100 EtherCAT Coupler along with EL1809 for inputs and EL2809 for output,
