Hello everyone,
Thank you all for the previous support I couldn't have got this far without it!
My next subject is about the Safe I/O connect.
The cell I am working on is still being commissioned, we are using a laser cutter as our tooling we've realised that when DCS is triggered it also puts the laser head into E-Stop which is not going to work for us as it's a process to get it started again.
What we want to do is when DCS is triggered it ONLY switches the laser off so for example cut the supply to the laser rather than E-stopping it. Luckily enough the Robot was specced with the Safe I/O board so now we just need to figure out how it works.
I think i have the basic idea but i think i need some clarification!
So as far as I'm aware i need to basically set a fresh DO which will be the trigger to the PLC to turn the laser off.
So for example above I set my safe output to 1 (SPO) (ignore the 17) which means when that is triggered by my CPC 8 (DCS Zone) it will then send the signal to the PLC to switch off a DO that's connected to the laser.
Thank you in advance for any help, I hope I explained this well enough!
