Basic Pendant with 7i73

I'm the only user. And I'm not a believer in hyper-protection against myself.

And i stick with LCNC/Gmoccapy modes model. So no moves in auto.
And when in manual I want them to move.

Small detail: X and Y are always on the same "increment"-factor. And rotative axis A has "degrees" oriented ones. So 4 mpegs have 3 selectors.

Just an idea. If you do have a seperate button that needs to be held down to use a MPG, you might be able to configure that to select teleop mode as you press it. This has been a godsend to me. I can grab the pendant and jog from anywhere even if I'm a few metres from the console. In gmoccappy, it takes you straight to the jog tab and away you go.

rodw,

Will that work on axis as well? I often forget to switch out of the mdi tab before jogging. I don't have room for another switch, how about adding the teleop to my axis select switch in hal so I can toggle that to get me into jog mode?

Mike_Eitel,

Have to draw the symbolic and probably try to get them laser printed on aluminium foil.

Nice control panel. I'm curious on your process for adding the graphics. All my panels are stainless and need labeling of sorts. I'm looking for professional looking results and they are already mounted so laser marking is out. What do you guys recommend? Sorry to getting a bit off topic here...

Yes, it works fie with axis so any method to trigger a pin value in hal would work.

the risk on this might be to get a loop and the pendant stands out
as you may turn the switch in undifined cases
