I/O Mapping

To perform a field network communication between a robot controller and a PLC, you need to map input and output global variables.

The following shows how to set I/Os.

1

On the [Project Tree Window], double-click [Global_Variables].

2

The global variable list is displayed.

Right-click the global variable list.

Click [Insert group].

3

[NewGroup] is added to the list. Enter any name as a group name.

4

Right-click the group created.

Click [Append variable] to add a variable.

Repeat this process to create two variables.

5

Enter any variable names so that input variable and output variable can be distinguished.

Select [ArrRecode] as a data type.

[ArrRecode] is DENSO original structure type.

6

Map an input global variable into the address created by "I/O Setting".

For a variable address for input, enter an address created by "I/O Setting" in DWORD type.

For example, if "0" is specified as a start address, enter "%ID0".

7

Map an output global address into the address created by "I/O Setting".

For a variable address for output, enter an address created by "I/O Setting" in DWORD type.

For example, if "0" is specified as a start address, enter "%QD0".

This completes the mapping of an input global variable.
