I did get that far yesterday and wondered a moment or three how that worked so I just pressed it to see. I assume it is an effort to save real estate on the screen and some clever programming too. I do use the power button on my BP to turn off the power to the drives when not in use but not the estop. It's been my understanding over the years that the estop is an emergency stop and start/stop or power off/on should be a separate function. On machines we build the estop will kill all outputs including air but leave the PLC and the inputs on.
I need to create a config for my BP today to get any further with testing. John On 11/10/2012 10:13 AM, Kent A. Reed wrote: > > 4.
