void Update() {
    bool sensor = IOLink.GetBool("Sensor1");
    IOLink.SetBool("Actuator1", sensor);
}

Read a digital sensor and toggle an output actuator.

float timer = 0;
bool running = false;

void Update() {
    if (IOLink.GetBool("EntrySensor") && !running) {
        running = true;
        timer = 3f;
        IOLink.SetBool("Conveyor", true);
    }

    if (running) {
        timer -= Time.deltaTime;
        if (timer <= 0) {
            IOLink.SetBool("Conveyor", false);
            running = false;
        }
    }
}

Start the conveyor for 3 seconds whenever a sensor triggers.

int count = 0;

void Update() {
    if (IOLink.GetBool("OpticSensor")) {
        count++;
        Debug.Log("Items: " + count);
    }
}

Count items detected by an optical sensor.

void Update() {
    int color = IOLink.GetInt("ColorID");
    if (color == 1) {
        IOLink.SetBool("PusherLeft", true);
    }
    else if (color == 2) {
        IOLink.SetBool("PusherRight", true);
    }
    else {
        IOLink.SetBool("PusherLeft", false);
        IOLink.SetBool("PusherRight", false);
    }
}

Sort items left or right based on color sensor.

void Update() {
    if (IOLink.GetBool("EmergencyStop")) {
        IOLink.SetBool("Motor1", false);
        IOLink.SetBool("Motor2", false);
        IOLink.SetBool("Conveyor", false);
    }
}

Stop all outputs if an emergency switch is pressed.

void Update() {
    bool idle = IOLink.GetBool("IdleState");
    bool running = IOLink.GetBool("RunState");
    bool fault = IOLink.GetBool("FaultState");

    IOLink.SetBool("LightGreen", running);
    IOLink.SetBool("LightYellow", idle);
    IOLink.SetBool("LightRed", fault);
}

Control a stack light (red/yellow/green) based on machine states.

void Update() {
    if (IOLink.GetBool("BoxArrived")) {
        IOLink.SetBool("RobotGrab", true);
        IOLink.SetBool("RobotMoveToStack", true);
    }
    if (IOLink.GetBool("RobotAtStack")) {
        IOLink.SetBool("RobotGrab", false);
        IOLink.SetBool("RobotReturn", true);
    }
}

Automate a simple pick-and-place robot cycle.

void Update() {
    float speed = IOLink.GetFloat("SpeedDial");
    IOLink.SetFloat("ConveyorSpeed", speed);
}

Control conveyor speed dynamically from an analog input.

int itemCount = 0;

void Update() {
    if (IOLink.GetBool("ResetButton")) {
        itemCount = 0;
        IOLink.SetBool("Actuator1", false);
        IOLink.SetBool("Actuator2", false);
    }
}

Reset actuators and counters when a reset button is pressed.

void Update() {
    bool s1 = IOLink.GetBool("Sensor1");
    bool s2 = IOLink.GetBool("Sensor2");
    bool s3 = IOLink.GetBool("Sensor3");

    bool fault = s1 || s2 || s3;
    IOLink.SetBool("Alarm", fault);
}

Trigger an alarm if any sensor in a group detects an issue.
