EXTERNAL I/O ALLOCATION FOR GRIPPER
On the next screen, change "Allocation Mode" to "Manual" and press {ENTER} again.
This will open the External I/O Allocation (Input) screen for the Robotiq gripper. External I/O Allocation
is a way to assign where the I/O associated with a certain device will be mapped. This allows a user to
customize how this I/O will be shown on Smart Pendant (e.g. assigning a 16 byte block of EtherNet/IP
data to be associated with Input #s 129-256).
By default, the External I/O for the Robotiq gripper is automatically allocated to a free slot. These
allocations can be configured by {MODIFYING} the 5-digit numbers in the left-hand column on the
screen shown above.
