I'm not trying to do anything special, or use any thing special, That was just what I managed to cobble together to get those m-code functions together, they worked, so I left them alone,
All I am trying to accomplish is when the operator enters a M41 (or whichever of my remapped codes ), it puts out a signal that I can then use however I need, ( in classicladder, directly to my 7i71 as an output,,,,,,) If there is more proper way to handle those remapped m-codes I'm all ears, as I have always said, I know just enough to be dangerous :) As for the python task, same thing, it's been on every INI file from the start of me doing these machines, I pretty much copy and past sections onto my new builds. It is way easier than using pncconfig to get things going, because we always have options that aren't available thru the config utility, Resolvers, 7i80HD cards for example. I will remove that straight away from what you are saying.
