Hi Everyone.
I have a existing ABB 8700 robot, which I have to equip with a tool change system.
I have made all the changes to my Safe Zones, and created 2 tools, and a “Tool” to use when I have no tool mounted.
To activate my tools, I need a activation signal, which I have created in “Safe IO Configuration” under global signals (There is no ProfiSafe on the robot). My problem is that I cannot manipulated the 3 “Global safety” signals from rapid code, not even if I try to manipulate by making a cross reference with a “normal” output signal.
I have read the manual, and I know the manual says that “Global Signals” is only for feedback to be read by Rapid.
Is there another way for Safemove to read signal from rapid, so I can change the active tool in Safemove, or do I need Profisafe Option to do this ??
Thanks
