Does the ‘aoEqu1F1’ parameter for dispense ware automatically map to ‘ABB\_DispenseHead\_IO\_1\_AO1’? ---

Dispenseware typically comes with all the signals that you need. However, they will be mapped to a sim board. The user needs to map the signals to the corresponding real boards for the user’s particular installation. ---

How do you map the signals? This is the part that I am missing. How do I configure the robot to output ‘aoEq1F1’ to the first analog output channel? This is how the system is currently working but I am missing this link and how to configure it. What if I want to change the mapping to ‘AO3’? ---

It depends. Is the robot directly communicating with the sealant controller? Or is this integrated dispense? What IO boards do you have and what communication buses are available? ---

The system is controlling an external motor that drives the dispense pump. The dispense pump controller receives the analog voltage from the robot and adjusts the pump /dispense speed. The iRC5 controller has a DSQC1032 card. Currently channel 1 is used as the analog output to the dispense pump controller. I can see the ‘aoEqu1F1’ and ‘AO1’ values changing when the system is running. They are the same values but I don’t know how these are mapped to each other. ---

If I recall correctly, one is just an alias signal and should reflect the same value. ---

Is this aliasing automatic by default? or do you have to do this in the RobotStudio code? ---

It should have been setup by the software install.
