Hello,

Not sure if this is the right section but I could not find a FlexPendant topic so here goes:

Is it possible to create a sub category of my own in flexpendant debug, call routine section? Or add my own routine into service routines? I would like to define some maintenance routines - moving robot to a certain maintenance possition and returning from it reliably for the average operator.

Hello,  
You can add it in **MMC.cfg** file in **MMC\_SERV\_ROUT\_STRUCT:** section

Thank you this worked. I now see all my procedures along with service routines. This is much better then before but to be ideal I’d like to define a custom category so that flexpendant would show:

All Routines  
**My Routines**  
Service Routines

Is this possible?
