Hi. We have a dx100 fabworld robotic welding cell in my workplace and we are planning to add an extra button on one of our station control panel. How are we going to configure/wire the button that will work just like the “light curtain reset” button? It’s for general purpose. Thanks!

You will have to get the wiring diagrams for the light curtains to see how the manual reset is wired. Some light curtains do not have this option. Some light curtains can be set for manual reset with "dip" switched while others require software.
You will need to find two spare wires in the control panel and connect them to a new button and the manual reset wiring of the light curtain.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi. I have another question. How do we latched the signal of the button? We connect a Normally open switch to IN16 and ground. Then when we press button, we can see the signal is turned on but our goal is to hold that signal for interrupt program. Do we need to use the ladder program to configure it?
Thanks!

Yes you can make a "latch" in the CIO but it would be easier to change your push button to a selector switch.
