Title: Inhibit Jog
Post by: polycut on October 16, 2015, 07:07:40 AM

Hi
Has anyone got an example of how I can inhibit the Jog function under a certain condition?

For example, I have a knife cutting machine. When the knife is down, I want to ensure that the machine cannot be manually jogged.

I have tried using the OEM buttons: Inhibit X or Y and Toggle Y Jog++ but these don't seem to be working as I expected.

Many thanks
Mark

Why not just turn off jogging via the button?
or call a Macro to turn it  on or off in the program?

Yes, that is what I tried but the button didn't seem to make any difference. The axis continued to be joggable.

I thought I could add a macro into the macropump that would disable the jog buttons if the knife was down, but I don't know what the code for the would look like...
