10.3 I/O Configuration
To view the current I/O configuration, select Setup | Controller | Inputs and Outputs. This
will show you what I/O is installed on the controller.
Standard and expansion I/O is automatically configured by the controller. To add
expansion I/O boards, see the controller manual.
The optional fieldbus I/O board is automatically detected. You must configure the device
ID using a DIP switch on the controller. See the controller manual for details.
10.4 Monitoring I/O
To monitor I/O, use the I/O Monitor tool by selecting Tools | I/O Monitor. From the I/O
monitor, you can view inputs and outputs or memory I/O in bit, byte, and word formats.
You can also configure up to three custom I/O views.
For details on how to use the I/O Monitor tool, see section I/O Monitor Command in the
GUI chapter.
10.5 Virtual I/O
The RC90/RC180 controller supports virtual I/O. When enabled, virtual I/O allows you to
simulate your hardwired I/O. You can turn on / off any input bit or output bit. Normally
this is used when the controller is in Dry Run mode with no robot or I/O connected.
Virtual I/O Commands
SetIn Set the value of an 8 bit input port.
SetInW Set the value of a 16 bit input port.
SetSw Set the value of one input bit.
