Hello all. I am trying to get my Fanuc M900iA to run only 1 program when the cycle start pb is pressed on the controller so operators don't accidentally load a program from the TP that could cause problems. I am thinking I might need to use a PNS or RSR, as I do have a PLC directing traffic over EthernetIP? I am trying to avoid "Load Program" pbs on the HMI also, just to run the same program every time the "Run" pb or cycle start from the RC is pressed. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

PostRE: Single-program operation
In that case you could set the Program Select Mode to OTHER. It is very simple and the controller will then run an explicitly defined program with the start signal. The methods to start the program can be set to either UOP or OTHER.
This specific program can be set by the system variable $SHELL_WRK.$CUST_NAME.DS186July 21, 2023 at 4:45 PM -
That was easy! Thank you
