4.3 Configuring Scalable I/O devices using RobotStudio
General
This section describes the recommended working procedure when installing and
configuring ABB Scalable I/O devices in RobotStudio.
For information about configuration using the FlexPendant, see Configuring Scalable
I/O devices using the FlexPendant on page 69 .
Note
Safe digital base devices (DSQC1042) cannot be configured using the
FlexPendant.
The Safety services grant is mandatory for configuration of safe digital base
devices.
Note
A maximum of 4 safe scalable I/O devices can be used at the same time with an
OmniCore controller.
When the I/O device is configured using Plug & Produce interface, it requires
minimal user interaction. Follow the working procedures to configure a new I/O
device, update an existing I/O device and to replace an I/O device with another.
Configuring an I/O device
When a base I/O device and an add-on I/O device are connected to the controller,
they must be configured.
This procedure describes how to configure the base I/O device and add-on I/O
device at the same time. However, if more add-on I/O devices should be attached
after the first configuration of the base I/O device, use the
Updating an existing I/O
device on page 60 procedure to update the configuration of the base I/O device.
1 Start RobotStudio and connect to the OmniCore controller. Request write
access.
2 The I/O device that has not yet been configured is connected to the private
network. The name of the detected I/O device appears.
