DCS Tool Mismatch: Is it possible to disable tool safety dcs when T1 is enabled?

    If a tool is used in a dcs definition and its value changes, dcs complains and has to be re-applied and confirmed. But I'm trying to imagine how that is connected to the AUTO/T1 switch. Can you provide more details?

    Lets imagin that the robot have 2 tools defined in dcs, so if there is any change or missing tool, the robot do not receive the right CSI and goes fault. this is ok for me so far. but now, I need to test a third tool that is not yet defined in dcs, I need to test it only on T1 mode before validating it and adding it in dcs tools definition. is this possible? or do I need to add it, apply dcs, test it and if test is not successful, remove it from dcs tool definion and so on...?

    Thank you very much

    If I'm understanding you correctly, if your new tool 3 is not defined in DCS then there shouldn't be any complaints from DCS when you select and use it. Add it in later after you've validated it.

    Back to your original question, you could connect the Auto/T1 switch to a SIR and use it to disable a CPC, JPC, etc.

    T1 is SSI[8]. It can be used directly as a disabling input or connected to a SIR.
