Aux 1 Button behavior (resolved)

Post by RGSparber »

I defined Aux 1 as XYZ ABS 0 and it works fine. However, when I press Aux 1 which is marked "RAPID MOVE", I see the message "OVERRIDE IS ENABLED FOR RAPID MOVES". Is Aux 1 supposed to be off limits to redefinition by users?

No Aux key is necessarily "off limits", but it does sound like the particular PLC program you are using is written to use the Aux1 key to toggle the Rapid Override setting.

If you don't need to turn Rapid Override on and off, you could remove that part of the PLC program.

If you do want Rapid Override control, but you want to use Aux1 to set part zero via Parameter 188, you could modify your PLC program to use a different Aux key for Rapid Override control.

There is currently no facility for a user to change aux keys LABELS in the VCP. Yes, you can change parameters 178-199 to have aux 1 call a macro that sets XYZ0 but that change the functionality assigned to the key by the Virtual Control Panel/PLC.

This Label change functionality will be available in a future release.

Understood. I will not use any AUX key that has artwork on it.

Thanks,
