Hi everybody, I’m currently installing an IRB2600 Keyless robot, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to make the change of mode frome MANUAL to AUTO by setting an Input? Thanks ---

Hi everybody, These options are installed in the system : ![image.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/d/da965838c1f65fd63492423b0413f0cdcd835069.png) I tried with configuring this SysInput : -Signal “diPN\_Bit\_6\_AckAutoMode” -Action “AckAutoMode” -Arg7 “T\_ROB1” But nothing happens when activated. any idea? ---

The only controllers that I have seen without keys still had a switch, just no key. ---

Hi, finally we found the solution, by using the following SysInput : -Signal “diPN\_Bit\_5\_AckAutoMode” -Action “AckAutoMode” -Arg7 “T\_ROB1” -Signal “diPN\_Bit\_7\_RemoteOpModeEnable” -Action “RemoteOpModeEnable” -Arg7 “T\_ROB1” -Signal “diPN\_Bit\_6\_OpModeReqAuto” -Action “OpModeReqAuto” -Arg7 “T\_ROB1” -Signal “diPN\_Bit\_8\_OpModeReqManual” -Action “OpModeReqManual” -Arg7 “T\_ROB1” But now, I’m facing the problem with the Emergency stop reset. I configured this SysInput : -Signal “diPN\_Bit\_9\_ResetEmergencyStop” -Action “ResetEstop” But I get this error message when I set it : 20148: Confirm rejected Description Emergency Stop reset confirm, via System IO, was rejected. Any idea? Thanks ---

Ensure that the runchain has been reset first. ---

HI, now everithing’s ok. We were just trying to reset the ES and set the MotorOn while the robot was in Manual mode. It needs to be in Auto mode ! Thanks anyway. ---

I hope you have high safety standards. An accidental switch to auto could harm someone.
