Title: Pins and Jogging
Post by: Keith on April 28, 2006, 01:34:44 PM

Hi,I know it's possibelt to use the pins to control jogging; is there a way to use a pin to change the jog mode('continuous' versus 'step')?
Also,is there a way to use the alloted input pins for such things as this and other things like limit switches ,in a binary mode so 5 inputs could become 32?-Keith

There is a way to make the cycle the jog types and you are going to have to use an input pin and a macropump...

There is no way to use the pins the way you were thinking... Sorry

There is also a way to do that with an OEM input that triggers a Macro... I have done that one time (I think), so if you et stuck I am here to help.
