Dear,

Is It possible to force a softkey pressed ( in may case the softkey TEACH IN) from PLC ?

regards,

fabio

Hi,

All of the signals are processed in the plc before being transferred to the NC in DB21 so you can do whatever you want.

I search in DB21, but no change to force the teachin function.It could be that i make a mistake but i search really in deep.

Are you sure?

HI,

Sorry must have brain fade this morning. Mode signals are in DB11

No, in db11 you can setup the TEACH mode but you cannot say "TEACH this position".

Hi,

I think I see what you want to do.

There needs to be some sort of signal even to the plc to tell the control to record the position so I assume the operator is not in a position to press the one on the HMI.

You don't say which system you are using but it probably doesn't matter.

It might be easier to either just store the positions in the plc as variables or write a user screen to mimic the TEACH operation and write the positions yourself to a part program.
