Supplement If the Modbus command is enabled, the PIO status at change is maintained.

according to the current PIO status. Note that even if the status of signals that
operate via edge detection has been changed, edge detection is ignored.
(3) Precaution
„ On a model equipped with an operation mode switch, “Enable PIO commands” will be specified
when the switch is set to the AUTO mode, or “Disable PIO commands” will be specified when the
switch is set to the MANU mode.
„ On a non-PIO model, the default setting is “Disable PIO commands.”
„ If IAI’s tool (teaching pendant or PC software) is connected, “Teaching modes 1, 2” and “Monitor
modes 1, 2” are available as tool modes. The correspondence between these modes and PIO
enable/disable specifications are as follows:
“Monitor modes 1, 2” o “Enable PIO commands”
“Teaching modes 1, 2” o “Disable PIO commands”
