I'm trying to find a quick easy way to simply change the value of a register from the HMI. We have a timer in a glue line purge program that will dictate how long glue will flow during purge but the customer wants to be able to adjust the time from the HMI. Quick fix would be to have the plc track the timer and just send the robots an input when purge is done but I'd like to be able to set it up either way. Mainly for future reference for myself.

You could set up 8bit or 16bit "Group Inputs". Write a value to it from PLC.
Have BGLOGIC in fanuc program which copies GI value into Register. I think this will work.I have never done karel programming> I dont know if its easier/possible in karel.

You can use explicit messaging to write a register directly from a PLC. Section 7 of the Ethernet IP manual. MAROC77EN01101E REV F is the manual i have.

The HMI option works well for direct access to robot registers, see this post. https://www.robot-forum.com/robotforum/fan…98354/#msg98354
