TP reset button to D0 for fault reset.

    dose anyone know of a way to map the TP reset button to any DO? or how to monitor that it has been pressed.


    sure it will fault reset the robot, but not send a signal to a plc to reset other faults, in this case an area scanner.

    Havent't found a way to do it yet, but it is possible to write some code in the PLC to reset all the components if there is a negative edge of the Fault UO.
    This could also work with the scanner if you use it with the DCS Speed Check (R-30iA/B). If the scanner's fault state is somehow connected with the robot's E-Stop or Fence, this won't work though, because the robot's fault state won't be released...

    If you have access to Karel, you can monitor for the occurence of TPIN[153] wich is the Reset key on the TP.

    I took the document from the Karel reference manual in Roboguide and it says that TPIN[153] is the Reset key. TPIN[145] should be the EDIT key. I double check with 2 other manual i got and they all agrees on that.


    Wich manual do you got and what version ?

    I like the DCS idea.


    Currently I was just using the scanner to drop my standard over ride down to 10% in the warning zone then external estop in critical zone.


    For now I just mapped jog button J8- to a DO for fault reset. monitoring system variable $DMSW_CFG.$KEYIMAGE=66
