General sensor question

#1
Hi! I have a general question about sensors in regards to offline programming with Robodk. I'll try and illustrate with an example.

We have a Mitsubishi Scara robot with a vacuum gripper. In the programing we've done in melfa basic we are able to detect if the vacuum gripper has picked an object through its input/output signals and then move to place it. 
If I want to move to completely programming our scara offline through robodk is there a way to simulate I/O that will translate one to one when I export the program from robodk to melfa basic? i.e. with out me editing the code after the fact?

I'd love to be able to simplify our workflow and work exclusively through robodk.

Best and thanks for the help!

When simulating digital inputs and outputs in RoboDK, RoboDK creates and uses a station parameter called IO_id (where id is the number of the IO used). You can use this to customize the simulation and also simulate triggering specific events that will help with simulation and testing.

Also, using the post processor you can map the digital inputs/outputs however you need.

Do you have a sample RoboDK project? We may be able to help you better.
