I have a machine tending application, where the machine interface is set up as the scanner. How do the GP I/o registers get mapped to the machine interface registers .
If I set GP bool output (0) high , how does that get mapped to the machine input register where I want to use that value?
Hi @gary.davies,
So the UR controller only has Adapter functionality not Scanner. You need to configure your scanner so it knows which registers to look at on the UR controller to get the appropriate data.
I assume from the above that you know this and you mean your machine tool has scanner functionality? In that case there should be a configuration tool that you can use on their side?
There’s a guide here that may be helpful:
