Modifying the Default sDIO Configuration
The CONFIG_C.V2 utility file is used to define the sDIO memory block and I/O signal
mappings. This file contains the main program A.CONFIG_C and is located on the
CompactFlash in the \UTIL\ directory. See the
Instructions for Adept Utility Programs
manual for instruction on loading and executing this utility. You can check how block
numbers are assigned by using the SRV.NET monitor command.
NOTE: Blocks 1-15 are typically reserved for robot signals. Blocks 1-6 are
preconfigured for Robots 1-6 for the 3000 series hand control signals,
including the signals used by the V+ OPEN, OPENI, CLOSE, CLOSEI,
RELAX, RELAXI statements. See the V+ documentation for more details
about these statements.
In the following situations you must go through a configuration process to modify the
sDIO modules:
• when you have more than one sDIO module.
• when you choose not to use the default I/O configuration (block 16)
• when you have a RIO device in your system. (See page 103 .)
NOTE: The first sDIO can use the default configuration; each additional
sDIO must be assigned unique block numbers, between 16 and 31.
In these cases you will use CONFIG_C.V2 to select the block number and to assign the
Input and Output signals.
Assigning sDIO Signal Blocks
1. Load and Execute the CONFIG_C.V2 utility
2. Select Option 6.
6 - Configure 1394 DIO
Then, press ENTER to continue.
3. Select Option 1.
1 - Configure 1394 DIO
Then, press ENTER to continue.
4. The system will then report specific information about the first sDIO that it
recognized. Identify the sDIO with the OK LED flashing green and red. This is the
recognized sDIO. Type N to select another sDIO for systems with multiple sDIOs
or type Y to configure the recognized sDIO at the following prompt.
