Is there a way to return the Robot speed to 100% if the Operator has set the speed to 50% from TP? If an operator changes the speed override from the TP, I want it to default back to 100%. The “SpeedRefresh” instruction works to lower the speed, but only works to increase the speed up to the speed set from the TP (i.e., if TP speed = 70%, SpeedRefresh 100; will not return the robot to 100%).

I have done something similar before without any problem.

First I read the current speed override, then slowed the robot down if necessary:  
**nNormalSpeed** := **CSpeedOverride** ();

\*\*!\*\*If slow speed less than current speed reduce to slow speed

If **nNormalSpeed\>nSlowSpeed** THEN

**SpeedRefresh**  **nSlowSpeed** ;

ENDIF

Later I would return to the normal speed with  
**SpeedRefresh**  **nNormalSpeed** ;

This worked fine with the normal speed being 100%

I don’t know the answer to this question, but from a safety perspective I think it would be a safety risk if the RAPID code can override the speed reduction defined on the FlexPendant. I doubt that this is possible.
