Jon, I have a pulse generator tied to the slider bar. When I turn the feed down the slides stop. I want the feed hold button to stop the feed immediately (like it does when running the program). I have the feed hold button working through a classic ladder program. I will work to incorporate that for the MDI also. I have feedback from the spindle drive to tell the machine when the spindle drive has an error. I need to incorporate that into ladder also. I want the machine to go into feed hold when the spindle drive errors. thanks Stuart
