Overview

Real-time I/O is a feature that allows you to input trigger signals into the R-I/O connector of the robot controller so that you can latch and acquire the robot position at high speed while it is operating.

An example of an application using real-time I/O is "Picture on the fly": This synchronizes the robot position detection and the vision position detection, and performs part pickup, alignment, and assembly without stopping the robot.

With the real-time I/O feature, you can reduce the robot stop time for vision image acquisition that is necessary for traditional vision applications.
