10.3.1. Workstation Settings
In recipe editing, you can choose whether to use a palletizing workstation, as shown in Figure 2-2. If a palletizing workstation is used, the corresponding palletizing functions will be completed using I/O signals from the workstation PLC; if no palletizing workstation is selected, the palletizing functions will default to using I/O signals from the control box.

10.3.2. Palletizing Function I/O Wiring Configuration
After selecting to use a palletizing workstation, click on Extended I/O Configuration. Based on the corresponding functions and the actual wiring of the I/O interfaces with the PLC, you can customize the selection of I/O signal configuration for palletizing functions. Figure shows the default wiring configuration for the palletizing workstation.
Figure 10-3-1-2 Default Wiring Configuration for Palletizing Workstation
If you choose not to use a palletizing workstation, the system defaults to using control box I/O signals. Based on the corresponding functions and the actual wiring of the I/O interfaces with the control box, you can customize the selection of I/O signal configuration for palletizing functions. Figure shows the default wiring configuration when no palletizing workstation is used (using control box I/O).
