Stand Alone Capable?

Just curious if the needed PLC things like Emergency/SV_Stop is incorporated can we run the Hickory app we build and not start CNC12? One clean app by itself.

Hi Rob,

CNC12 and your custom app must be running at the same time, 'Headless' operation is not possible with how CNC12 and the CentroidAPI interact.

There are a few ways you can trigger and react to an E-Stop. The PLC can be interacted with, as can Inputs and Outputs, and you can also simulate 'skin events' like how the VCP is able toggle it's own Reset button, acting like a Cycle Stop and triggering the relay. I will say there isn't a simple PLC.TriggerEStop() method or anything like that but using the current documentation and the VCP manual, it is possible to do.
