    Hello

    We have a case, where the robotic cell runs in ext automatic mode and it uses the KRC4 itself as the external PLC (some DO's connected to DI's to make it work) The logic is very simple and we need to run the cell with some external buttons without smartpad.

    Anyway, the real cell works pretty well, but I wonder if I can simulate the case like this in Office Lite? As I know, it is impossible to turn on the EXT mode in OL.

    Also, Is there a way to simulate input and output signals in OL in Auto mode?

    We are using the KRC4 with KSS 8.6.8 in this case.

    you can select EXT mode in OL without problem.

    you will have more difficulties with enabling drives and issuing start.

    did you check the rights for example?

    Yep. That was the first thing I did...

    Anyway, thank you. Now I know, that it is possible, so I'm pretty sure, that I will find the solution to make it work :smiling_face:

    note that i am using version 8.5 and cannot confirm if 8.6 behavior but it should be the same.

    There is the same configuration screen at V8.6.

    Just rechecked all user rights then made a cold start. So now the EXT mode works. And in case of someone interested in signal emulation too: I tried to use Y200. Seems to be not bad,despite the fact that there is no opportunity to comment the signals.
