Well, both mpg units are working as planned. But one of the lead operators is requesting that when in auto and mdi modes the mpg for feedrate operates the feedrate override and when in manual it operates the jog speed. Having a hard time finding the halui signal to control jog speed. Is there one? They also want to disable the keyboard jog and use panel push buttons for jog. I had the jog buttons working before I hooked up the mpg but now they don't. I clearly have some issues to work through and any help would be appreciated.
