Set DO
| From version 1.8.0, the Set DO List Step is merged with the Set DO Step to form the new Set DO Step. |
Function
In robotics industry, DO usually stands for digital output. DOs are a type of electrical signal used to control devices or components in an automation system. These digital output signals are represented by the higher or the lower voltage level and are used to enable or disable connected devices or actuators. These devices include suction cups, motors, solenoid valves, relays, indicator lights, and other types of electrical components.
This Step enables external devices to perform specific actions by sending signals, such as opening and closing gripper fingers, turning suction cups on or off, and can also be used to control conveyor belts or trigger alarms, etc.
Parameter Description
Wait Move Precisely
Checked by default. This Step can only start executing when the robot reaches the specific waypoint corresponding to the move-type Step before the Set DO Step.
Communication Setting
Select the recipient of the DO according to the actual situation. You can select both Send to Robot and Send to Adapter.
Enter the Adapter Name if Send to Adapter is selected.
| If the Communication Settings is not configured, the software cannot send the DO to the receiver. |
Source
The source of the DI can be set to either Vision Move or Custom.
Vision Move
This option applies to box depalletizing and multi-end tool application scenarios only. According to the depalletizing vacuum gripper or multi-end tool configuration together with the corresponding picking method, the software will automatically compute the DO port numbers of the tool ends that should be activated.
Custom
Specify the DO ports to be set manually.
-
Please follow these steps to configure.
-
Click + to add ports based on the number of ports to be set.
-
Set the port numbers and values for controlling the external devices, and you can comment on the function of the current port.
-
The port numbers cannot be duplicated. The configuration cannot be completed with duplicated port numbers.
-
To clarify the function of each port, it is recommended to add a comment for each port.
-
Select the line of a specific port and click - to delete the port configuration.

Example
For example, if Port 0 is used to control the gripper, and the gripper opens its fingers when the signal value is 1, the settings is shown below.
