Map Physical Button Input to Macro or Aux Key

Post by ozarkwoodworker »

I've searched through all the manuals and post on here, but I can't seem to find any information that explains what to edit to map a input to a macro.

I have a physical button that I would like to use to index a turret (M21).

You can map an input to an AUX key in the PLC, and this AUX Key to an macro in the Wizard.

what specifically do you want to accomplish? often no plc programming is needed, but can advise you unless we know what you want to do.
