I have a position register and a reference position for home that I want as a DO of 7. But on this robot on the line the output will notturn on. If I switch the output to lets say for example 40, it turns on. All the other robots on the line have the output of 7 for home and it works. I have searched all programs and macros to.see if 7 is being called and cannot find it. When it is set at 7 the output flickers on and off but will not stay on. Any advice?

Something is forcing it off from either a program or an I/O configuration that is overlapped like uop or interconnects and DO. Check int he system/configuration and see if any of the avaliable DO's are being used for special functions.
Keep us informed.

If you're using UOPs, usually DO1 - DO20 is used for those. For reference positions, program calls, etc you would have to use DO21+.

If using UOPs than DO7=@ perch pos and is tied to ref pos #1 only. Is your home position ref pos 1 or 2 and up? Also, check the +/- tolerance. Should be at least a degree.
