Hi guys
Simply I am looking at a way to sniff on either SOUT# status or by #500xx values.
I have looked through the INFORM manual, but can only find DIN instruction referenced to SOUT#.
Is it possible to use INFORM instructions to read SOUT# or #500xx values in a simple way to implement into a simple IF conditional check?
I get the impression, this is limited to CIO, but would like to know if using INFORM, this is possible.
Any information would be very much appreciated.... 
Hi,
from nx100 to dx200 the only way to use the SOUT is to read ii with a DIN:
DIN LB000 SOUT#(xx)
IF LB000=0
'do something'
ENDIF
I prefer to use local variable that you must declare in the job before use it.
This also for FOR and WHILE.

I use it in the job regularly to check if the robot is in an interference area for example and also in the CIO to do some "plc logic".
A bit of history: in older NX100 version all these "structured language" didn't exist. Imagine the code 
Thank you Motouser for your reply.

This is precisely what I am trying to do just in MotoSim for simulation purposes.
But I cannot select any locals in MotoSim, only Bxxx for SOUT# (using YRC).
Out in the field we are using the PLC to read them and then echo them back on IN# and check interference zones that way, I think due to making requests from an external HMI for recovery etc.

Heehee.........and still there is much that could be added to Yaskawa portfolio.
I figured as much, it is what it is, but thought I would ask the question anyway.
Many thanks.....
