Block I/O: Application Setup And Programming - YASKAWA Smart Series Application Note

BLOCK I/O: APPLICATION SETUP AND PROGRAMMING

A Block I/O setting can be created to control a tool with a pair of states (e.g. OFF/ON). The user can
insert a sequence of commands for each state that will be used frequently during programming. These
"blocks" of commands can then be used to:

Physically open/close the gripper during teaching

Add INFORM command sequences that open/close the gripper to the current job
