1. Communication Control
Rob01 and Rob02 combine slave as Master PLC
When PLC maker "Melsec (Mitsubishi)", robot must contain rack92 comm card (CC_Link)
and, request PLC engineer to "When robot01's Do01 On, Given to Robot02's Di01"
※ You must specify details of the robot controller according to the communication scheme you configure for automation.
2. Direct Control (Hard Waring)
I'm not sure "General I/O Board (in16 / out16)" 's Rack number.
maybe... Rack 0 ?
next, wiring each robot controller's I/O board
next configure Do & Di range (Rack, slot, start Pt etc...)
Adding on to the above post:
1. There are multiple options for which comm protocol you just. For example, EthernetIP.
2. Hardwired IO would be rack 1. Or the EE connector which uses RO/I.

Thank you for the answers!
But I am still a little confused here, yes, both robots will be talking to PLC, I can set up the space function for both robot and have DI and DO mapped into PLC.
But what about priority level? Is this going to be a GI? If I have to define a space for each robot, how does the two spaces link to each other and know who have the higher priority?
Thank you!
You will have to figure that out. I suggest writing some logic in the PLC to play traffic cop.
The spaces won't be linked. You have to make sure they are correct and the same in each robot independently.
[ Priority ]
When two robots use this function, this item specifies which robot is to enter the interference
area first if the two robots attempt to enter the interference area at the same time. The robot
for which High is set enters the interface area first. When the robot completes its operation
and moves out of the interference area, the robot for which Low is set enters the interference
area. The setting for one robot must be different from that for the other.
(B-83284EN_05 Operation Manual)
Space function's key point is "Interference".
Robot said "priority" is near "who inside or outside?"
but, PLC's priority concept's little bit different.
You first, you next.

I'm recommend too "Traffic cop" by PLC
or, you can control by basic I/O signal.
R1 given grant signal to R2.
