currently i have 3 reference positions that I can use.
I need one more. is there a way to increase the amount of ref positions.
thanks

the batteries are not designed to last forever. eventually they start to loose their capacity and will take 48 hours to charge but will discharge in a day. refer to your service manual and in there it tells you when the servicing periods are for the battery in the SMB. I believe that they recommend replacing the battery after 1 year.
I can connect to the device fine from my computer. I can also control the Valve bank as an IO device from an Allen Bradley PLC no problem. I just cannot connect the ABB robot to the valve bank and control it from the robot!
I am using an Ethernet switch with patch cables.
I have the eds file and I created the unit type according to the steps outlined in the Ethernet m/s manual.
The status LEDs of the device are showing that there is no connection to the irc5.
I don't really see what is going wrong with the setup of this device. And even when I called abb they didn't see anything wrong with it or any other devices I tried to configure.

there is no error. if you check the IO units it shows my connection as running. but its not
has anyone successfully configured a Numatics valve bank with an Ethernet I/P G3 module to work with an IRC5 controller that has the Ethernet master/slave option?
I am currently trying to get it to work an I am getting a connection error.
here is my EIO Config in short.

Hello y'all
I am trying to figure out how i can use a background routine that i will run at start up of my IRC5 controller to rewrite the system config parameters for the arm software limits. i am using a IRB6620 manipulator for training for the company i work for and they have mounted the robot in close proximity to a wall, and we are afraid of someone scuffing the paint on the wall. i have set software limits in the robot, but seeing as this robot is to be used for training, various people of diffrent skill levels will be playing with the configuration of the robot. so my thoughts were to write a routine to run in the background at each start up (changing system config requires warm start and routine running after start will effectively rewrite arm config changes)
any thoughts would be appreciated
thanks
