4.1 Information about ABB Scalable I/O devices
General
To use the Scalable I/O devices, plug in the base device and the add-on devices
to the controller through the Ethernet cable. Then configure the I/O devices using
RobotStudio or the FlexPendant. For more information about I/O device
configuration, see
Software commissioning on page 55 .
Industrial network
EtherNet/IP is the industrial network that is used for communication between the
I/O devices and the robot and controller.
EDS file
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files are required when configuring I/O devices with
other scanners. The EDS file, which identifies the devices during the configuration
in the network, is stored in the following controller location:
...\RobotWare\RobotControl_x.x.x-xxx\utility\service\ioconfig\EDS\
Behavior
ABB Scalable I/O devices support both Cyclic and Change of State (COS) I/O
connection. It is possible to set output signals with a Change of State connection.
Note
Change of State is used together with the parameter production inhibit timer.
The parameter defines the highest frequency for which a signal change can occur
with
Change of State .
Note
The Change of State (COS) I/O connection is not supported for safety digital
base devices (DSQC1042).
Safety digital base devices
The safety digital base devices, DSQC1042, are configured in the same way as
other digital base devices. See
Software commissioning on page 55 . After the
configuration, the dual channels must be defined using CL logic. See Setting up
dual channel signals on page 73 .
