Remote Input

Remote inputs are used to control the Manipulators and start programs. Certain conditions must be met before inputs are enabled, as shown in the table below.

To accept external remote inputs, assign the remote function and set remote to the control device. When external remote input is available, "AutoMode output" turns ON.

Except "SelProg", the signals execute each function when the signal starts in input acceptance condition. The function executes automatically. Therefore, no special programming is needed.

KEY POINTS


  • If error occurs, execute the Reset command to clear the error condition before executing the operation command. Use the "Error output" and "Reset input" to monitor the error status and clear error conditions from the remote device.
  • If the remote input command does not meet the input acceptance conditions, a CmdError signal is output. The CmdError signal is not set as the default for remote I/O output signals. When using the remote function, set the CmdError signal for the remote I/O output signal.
