Robot I/O consists of the input and output signals between the controller and the robot. These signals are sent to the EE (End Effector) connector located on the robot. You can change the status of outputs on the robot I/O screen.
The number of robot input and output signals (RI and RO) varies depending on the number of axes in your system.
You can set up and configure robot I/O from the I/O Robot In/Out screen.
