Thank you Robo_Eng_13 .... that's what i was trying to do and you reminded me that i needed to change the group masking. My only thought is how do i set up the group outputs/ inputs?

Need help on programming my turn table (group2) by itself rather than at the end of motion with CTV. I keep getting a fault 0V alarm G2 when the robot speed slows to < 6mm/sec. So for now since it runs by itself I'm hoping to program them running the table in the background.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
I tried to look in the history to get the exact alarm but there were a couple of others working on it before i was brought in. Axis 4 loses its pulse count during operation. If you go to single axis master it shows zero. The cables are never unplugged from the encoder. So the last times i have worked on this same problem i went through controlled start menu and loaded sysmast.vr, then went to variables and changed mastering to true, calibrated it and ran a program just fine. this time having a couple others work on it before me not knowing exactly what all they have done for sure... I tried my same process and now the program wants to run like it's going to go in the opposite direction. I'm at a loss for that reasoning.

It lost it's mastering but was never unplugged from the encoder so i am able to just load sysmast.vr and get it going right away. Yes i could and others have used that option of single axis mastering and come up with the same result but to me sometimes that's more of a risk to be slightly off and throw off programming. In any case we did try both options and still came up with same result this time as the robot wants to go in the opposite direction.
We can run programs for months to a year or so in between this happening. It's just now it's get more and more frequent with every few months.
Replacing the harnass was our next thought just to see if there might be a short somewhere?!
I was just wondering if it running in the opposite direction right now that there might be something that someone has seen that is similar or come across maybe in the variables or something with configuration.... I'm just stumped -
BTW our robot is an M10iA controller is R30iA

For some reason we randomly keep losing axis 4 mastering. we've replaced the encoder and a whole new arm at one point. When this happens i reload sysmast.var and calibrate then we're back up and running until the next time. This time was a little different after reloading everything to our robot and testing a program, it wants to run in the opposite direction. I also tried loading the image backup to the robot to maybe reset anything that was done and it's still not working properly. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
