18.4 I/O action and wait
As the robot digital outputs can be set by an Action node, so can also the EUROMAP 67 output
signals. When the EUROMAP 67 interface is installed, the signals appear in the menues where
they can be selected. Also, as the robot digital inputs, EUROMAP 67 input signals can be used to
control the program behavior by inserting a Wait node, which makes the program wait until an
input is either high or low.
For advanced users, an output can be set to the value of a specified expression. Such expression
may contain both inputs, outputs, variables, etc., and can be used to obtain complex program func-
tionality. Likewise, a Wait node can be set to wait until the value of an expression is true. Generally,
the EUROMAP 67 signals will all be available on the expression screen, which means that they can
be used in all circumstances where an expression can be selected.
In order to use signals, which are not part of the EUROMAP 67 program structures, they must be
either set or read “manually” from a program, by inserting additional Action, Wait, etc. nodes. This
applies to e.g. the manufacturer dependent and the reserved signals, which are all usable although
not shown on the EUROMAP 67 I/O tab. This also means that in order to make use of the inputs
Reject and Intermediate Mould Opening Position, the template program will have to be customized
and extended.
Finally, it is recommended to NOT set the Mould Area Free signal manually, as this may cause haz-
ardous situations.
