I'm trying to set up a cross connection for feedback on PLC speed override. we have it set up with a GI populating a num value and then speedrefresh to that num data. it works great other than the fact it does not feedback the new value to the TP (which I'm told is how it's supposed to operate). so, in order to get some sort of feedback that the robot received the correct number on the GI I'm trying to set up a cross connection so when GI=25 -> DO25 will go high, GI=50 -> DO50 will go high, GI=75 -> DO75 will go high and GI=100 -> DO100 will go high. I thought about suggesting DI's from the plc instead of a GI but for homing and maintenance purposes we want the ability to put any number 1-100 in that GI. when in its normal auto cycle, it will be restricted to 25, 50, 75 or 100 by this feedback I'm trying to set up.
the problem is when I set up the cross connection between the GI and a DO I can't set a value for the GI. it just links the GI to the DO with no other input.
