hey all,

we have the problem. that operators are changing the speed of the robot (irc5) while he is in automatic mode.

I have found how to bring the speed back to 100% if you are switching from manual to automatic mode… but I don’t know if it is possible to block a “speed - change” while the robot is in automatic mode…  
anyone an idea?

thx,

bart

hey all,

I’ve figured out that this is relatively easy to do with the UAS (user authorization system).

there is only one more problem I have:

In order to get the robotstpeed to 100% if the robot is switched from manual to automatic, I have set following in the sys.cfg file:

# 

AUTO\_COND\_RESET:

-name “AllDebugSettings” -reset “No”

problem is now that beside getting the speed again on 100% the program pointer also returns to the main module… and this is something I don’t want…

Anybody an idea how I can solve this?

thx,

bart
