I/O Lock

I/O Lock sets the I/O output restriction range.

This function is used to check the operation of a robot program that turns on and off output signals when COBOTTA is actually connected via I/O to an external device, which may be influenced by any change in output signals of COBOTTA.After I/O lock is set, turn-on or turn-off of output signals in the robot program is only recorded in the DRAM and the output signals from COBOTTA remain unchanged from the viewpoint of the external device.

Operation Procedure

Use the I/O Bit Calculation Function menu of Remote TP/Virtual TP to perform the operation.
For details, refer to "Operation of I/O Bit Calculation Function" in the TP App Operation Guide.

Choices

Enable All All outputs are allowed with no I/O output restrictions.
Disable General OUT Forbids all outputs of ports used for general output.
Disable System OUT Forbids all outputs of ports used for specialized output.However, port 16 is not prohibited.
Disable All Forbids all outputs of ports except port 16.

The factory default is "Enable All."

  • The I/O lock setting is retained even after the power is turned off. Set the setting to "Enable All" if prohibition of output is no longer needed when, for example, the system actually runs.
  • When an output disable setting is changed to "Enable All," the output state stored in the DRAM is output in actual I/O signals.Therefore, check that no external device will be influenced before changing this setting.

No output disable setting can be directly changed to another output disable setting.For example, "Disable General OUT" cannot be changed to "Disable System OUT."The setting must be changed to "Enable All" once.
