Custom Ipendant HMI

  • Hello,


    I just learned how to setup a custom HMI on the teach pendant. I created a simple screen that can start the robot using a system variable, stopping the robot using a digital output, and changing the speed using a register. My problem is, I tried to add a button that will reset the robot alarm. I double mapped my UI 5 (Reset) to DI 120. My button is pretty straight forward, the data type is DI, data index is 120, and the Type is Logical. My understanding is that this would turn on DI120 but i get a alarm "Write Error" FRIPToggleButton2: DIN[120]=1.

    Any thoughts or help on how to setup a button to turn on a Input through the custom HMI on the teach pendant would be great.

    Thanks.


    Update: I mapped my UI 5 to a flag register and then had my button turn on a output. Then i had to run a background logic program to monitor that output and then turn on/off the flag. This way works but i feel there should be a better way to handle this.
