This section describes the electrical interfaces available to the Sawyer robot. The different inter-
faces are:

•

Controller I/O

•

External I/O

•

Safety Rated Controller I/O

DISCLAIMER

Any advice provided to you relating to the integration of a Rethink Robotics product with any third 
party product into to your facility is provided “as is.” Because Rethink Robotics does not have 
access to the systems you are using, nor does Rethink Robotics have any control over how you 
may implement any integration with third party products, Rethink Robotics assumes no liability for 
this limited advice.

Controller I/O

The Sawyer robot controller uses a Moxa ioLogik E1212 Remote Terminal Unit for interfacing with 
the external world. This unit has been preconfigured to work out-of-the-box with the Intera software 
and shows up as the “Robot” device when configuring signals on a task.

Please refer to ioLogik E1200 Series User’s Manual for details on the ratings and specifications of 
the switch: http://www.moxa.com
