2.3.1. Sensor installation
Overview
Normally the synchronization option and the DeviceNet option are preloaded at ABB, and do
not need to be re-installed. For more information on how to add options to the system, see
Operating manual - RobotStudio.
The synchronization option automatically installs one sensor into the system parameters. To
add more than one sensor, see
About the installation
The options will install three additional configurations:
Configuration of the default installation for Sensor Synchronization
This procedure describes how to configure system parameters for Sensor Synchronization in
RobotStudio Configuration Editor.
Configuration of the default installation for Analog Synchronization
This procedure describes how to configure system parameters for Analog Synchronization in
RobotStudio Configuration Editor.

Sensor process description
• Motion mechanical description
Action
1. Change the parameter Connected to Bus for the unit from "Virtual1" to the correct bus,
for example "DeviceNet1".
2. Specify the correct address for the unit, parameter DeviceNet Address.
3. If the parameter DeviceNet Master Address (in topic I/O, type Bus) is changed, then the
parameter Default Value (in topic I/O, type Fieldbus Command Type) for the instance
TimeKeeperInit must be changed to the same value.
Action
1. Change the unit type, parameter Type of Unit, for the unit from "Virtual" to the correct
unit type, for example "d355A".
2. Change the parameter Connected to Bus for the unit from "Virtual1" to the correct bus,
for example "DeviceNet1".
3. Specify the correct address for the unit, parameter DeviceNet Address.
4. Change the communication interval for the unit type (e.g d355A) from 50 to 20 ms,
parameter Connection 1 Interval.
For more information about this parameter, see Application manual - DeviceNet.
