Smart Pendant - Manually Changing Variables

  • Currently wrapping up a depalletizing project for a customer which is using a Yaskawa Smart Pendant. YRC-1000 controller. The customer had requested post-runoff that only management security level or higher is allowed to change variables (byte,integers) just in case operators have to manually remove rows or layers of the product off the incoming pallet. Currently, default is the pendant has to be in Teach Mode and that's it. Is there anyway to assign security levels to manually adjust variable data?

  • Nope. Anyone in Editing or higher can change variables. A solution may be to use the password protect software option. Only select few could then access Editing or higher.

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.

    Crap. I reread the post. I have not tried that on Smart Pendant. May or may not work with Password Protect.
