8.1 I/O Signal Description

You may use either Standard I/O or Expansion I/O for remote control. To use all signals,
you will need to add Expansion I/O.

8.1.1 Remote Input Signals

Remote inputs are used to control the Manipulators and start programs. Certain
conditions must be met before inputs are enabled, as shown in the table below.
NOTE
When an error occurs, you must execute a Reset to clear the error condition before any
more remote input commands can be executed. Therefore, it is recommended that the
remote equipment uses the Error output and Reset input to monitor and clear error
conditions.
