Tip
It is possible to use a spreadsheet application, or text editor, to edit the names
of the signals and then copy-paste them into RobotStudio.
Global signals
The global signals are virtual signals that are to be used internally in RAPID and
in the safety controller. The user can create up to 2048 global signals. The signals
can be read from RAPID, but they can only be set from the safety controller, see
Accessing safe signals and feedback signals on page 95 .
There is a set of predefined global signals that corresponds to safety functions
with the same names. It is allowed to change the names of these signals as long
as the signal is still mapped to the corresponding safety function. It is also allowed
to delete them as long as the function is replaced by another signal.
Predefined global signals
The following global signals are predefined and corresponds to safety functions
with the same names:
• AutomaticMode
• DriveEnable
• ExternalPowerControlActive
• ExternalPowerControlFeedback
• LocalEmergencyStopStatus
• ManualFullSpeedMode
• ManualMode
• DriveEnableFeedback
• SafetyEnable
For a description of the safety functions, see Description of safety functions on
page 97 .
Accessing safe signals and feedback signals
The input, output, and global signals are automatically made available in RAPID.
The signals can be found together with all other I/O-signals in the I/O-configuration
views both in RobotStudio and on the FlexPendant.
The signals can be read from RAPID, but they can only be set from the safety
controller.
The global signals are made available in RAPID as feedback signals. The feedback
signals are inputs located on the simulated I/O device
SC_Feedback_Dev on the
simulated bus SC_Feedback_Net .
PROFIsafe F-Device signals
The safe input and output signals for PROFIsafe F-Device are located on the
PN_Internal_Device on the PROFINET bus.
