Hi Everyone,

I want to start program by using DI/O from PLC and would like to check the robot status if robot is ready to run program.

How can I confirm the robot is ready to run program after power up?  
Is there any signal from robot which shows the robot is ready to run the program?

regards,  
Hiro

Check out the dashboard server. It can be accessed via EthernetIP and can provide feedback of various robot states
