Hi, I am new to Robotstudio and I am trying to create a pick and place station for IRB340 using Robotstudio.

I was following the online tutorial videos and have sucessfully created the Infeeder, the VacuumGripper and the OutPallet. These components were working fine. However, when I was trying to follow the following tutorial video, I encountered some problem. [http://www.robotstudio.com/tutorial/16b/SetupSimulation.html](http://www.robotstudio.com/tutorial/16b/SetupSimulation.html)

At the time 02:39, I was not able to find the Source Object **doNewBox** and Source Signal **IRBXXX** from my dropdown list.

At the time 02:53, Target Signal **diBoxInPos** and **diVacuum** were not found from the Target Object **IRBXXX** as well.

Anyone konw what is the reason that cause this problem. Thanks guys.😉 Much appreciated.

Hi,

Since the I/O signals of the Infeeder, the VacuumGripper and the OutPallet should be connected to I/O signals from the controller you have to make sure these I/O signals exists in the virtual controller.

This is how you add I/O signals to the virtual conroller:

1. Go to the Offline tab and expand the system.
2. Expand the Configuration.
3. Double click on I/O and under Signal you can add I/O signals by right clicking somewhere on the list and choose Add Signal. If you want your signals to be assigned to a special unit you can add a new unit under the Unit title.

When you have created your new signals. You can go back to Add I/O connections.
