I got my external cycle start button to work. (thanks Chris) Now I am working on the external pause button. I would like to get it to work exactly like the pause button on the AXIS panel. push button to pause-push same button to resume. Right now when I press the external stop button it sure enough stops the program and the pause button on the AXIS panel depresses but that is as far as I can get it to go. I just can't get it to resume with the external button, but it will resume is I press the AXIS button.

Thanks Jerry

You could use some hal or CL logic, using the halui.program.is-paused bit, direct the signal from your button to the halui.program.resume bit when in program.

Ok I got it to work, not exactly like the AXIS panel but good enough. thanks for the help guys.

Jerry,

So, what did you end up doing?

Mark, bulk of this was gleaned from a thread that I found on this forum, I had to add the pause part to get it to work on my machine.
The way it works is when I press the remote FEED HOLD button, motion stops and when I press the remote CYCLE button the motion resumes from where it stopped.

Glad I could help out, I am still mystified by most of the hal stuff also.
