PolyScope X: Input and Output

Description

The tool IO tab monitors and sets the live IO signals from/to the Control Box.

 

 

Tool Output

The tool output contains two digital output fields, tool output voltage and power supply current indicator and Dual Pin Power toggle.

 

  • Digital Output (DO) – can be independently set to high or low

  • Tool Output Voltage – selectable 0V, 12V and 24V. This setting is persistent over restarts of the robot controller

  • Power Supply – current consumption indicator

  • Dual Pin Power – used to toggle between digital outputs and source of power for the tool. Enabling Dual Pin Power disables the default tool digital outputs (DO)

 

After selecting a new output configuration, the changes take effect. The currently loaded installation is modified to reflect the new configuration. After verifying the tool outputs are working as intended, make sure to save the installation to prevent losing changes.

 

Tool Input

The tool input contains two digital input (DI) fields and two fields for analog input (AI) currents.

 

DI fields can be independently configured to action presets:

  • Start Program

  • Stop Program

  • Pause Program

  • Freedrive

 

The AI's can be set from 4-20mA. These settings are persistent over restarts of the robot controller and saved in the installation.
