hi. that's simple and covered in the VCP manual,TSHcnc wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 7:38 pmKeith, you are right I am using the free version since I don't own a pro license, I am not planning on having an ATC on this mill so you are saying that these set of variables won't be available for me to use.
so in my case What would be the recommendation then to do this simple operation: " have a button on VCP that energizes one of the 8 relays and I can call it whatever I want in the button graphics without needing to have specific plc output name"

i'd start with the "hijack" method and take over an existing pregrogrammed VCP button. see page 31.
or start fresh.. page 18
you should also read over the Macro programming manual which compliments.
