Hi,

I’m wanting to change the parameter of a deviation alarm using Rapid code but I can’t find anything that covers this in the manual.

The parameter is - -path “A1FluidDev/Notify” -value 1

I’d like to be able to change it through a rapid program on the fly as the robot is running, I can do this through Robview no problem but I want the robot to be able to set the value to “1” incase it is manually set to “0” and forgotten about…

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Neil.

Have you tried this function - TestDI?!  
[http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/BlobProxy/manuals/RapidIFDTechRefManual/doc470.html](http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/BlobProxy/manuals/RapidIFDTechRefManual/doc470.html)  
After that you can write a small code to change the value from LOW to HIGH if your signal value was changed and forgotten to be put back…
