How and where does ABB handle frameworks signals?
There are group outputs for process data to tell PLC which position i am dropping to in a drawer, positions 1-3. However the signals used to communicate position number is handled in frameworks, and from what i understand that logic is encoded and unreadable. Is there a way to modify GO/GI's outside of the background frameworks? And does that data reset?
Frameworks is a headache

Are you not set up to use the path segments? From what I can recall that would set the outputs for where the robot is.

ContinuePathSeg is what you would want. Define a path segment for each position, and when in position use ContinuePathSeg and use the correct path segment in the argument. This will set goR1_PathSeg and your PLC can determine what you do next by returning a decision code.
I have the application manual for IFWC, if I'm allowed I can post it. It does a decent job of explaining what each part of IFWC does and how to use it.
