4. Direct connection by emulated serialization on parallel DIO
The master station PLC can exchange bit information data with the parallel port on the robot controller’s parallel I/O unit regardless of the robot program. By using this func- tion, I/O devices such as a sensor or relay can be used like a device connected to
n NOTE
When the directly connected and set output port is used with the program, the bit information may not become the intended value. Do not use the directly connected and set output port with the program.

n NOTE
When the port specified by SIO is identical with the port used by the program, the output results might be inaccurate.
