I was able to find a maximum output current rating of 0.2A for standard DO points. I'm assuming that Robot Outputs would be the same, but I never want to assume anything. Can anyone confirm that for me? I'm adding a small electromagnet to the end effector and I want to make sure I'm not going to overdraw it.
Robot I/O Amps?

Yes, it's the same.
You could use a relay instead.

yes I know, I'm seriously considering it. The plug adapters they send with the robot for the I/O up there are expensive and more difficult to figure out than they should be. I'm trying not to run external power all the way up the arm if I don't have to.

There is 24vdc on the EE connector. How many amps do you need?

I magnet is only drawing 40 miliamps. So really nothing the RO can't handle. I'm almost done setting everything up, just need to solder the connector and should be ready for testing tomorrow...
