Checking the I/O Allocation Mode

You can check the selected I/O allocation mode from the [IO monitor] window of the teach pendant or the IO window of WINCAPSIII.

How to run the robot from external equipment (PLC, etc.) differs depending upon the I/O allocation mode specified in the robot controller. It is, therefore, necessary to check the current allocation mode beforehand. Use the I/O monitor called up with [F4 I/O] on the basic screen of the teach pendant.
