Programming the T2 Pendant
Many of the features of the pendant are accessible to V+ programs. For example, a
program can receive button-press input, read the setting of the Speed Bar, turn LEDs on
and off, and display text to the Pendant Display Window (see
). For
a comprehensive overview of these functions, refer to the
V+ Language User’s Guide
.
The T2 pendant sends the setting of the Speed Bar when one of the following buttons is
pressed: YES/+, NO/-, or one of the +/- Joint/Axis buttons at the right-hand side of the
pendant. (The MCP4 pendant sends the speed whenever the Speed Pot is pressed.) In
addition, the T2 pendant sends the setting of the Speed Bar if it is pressed along with the
STEP button. In that case, the T2 pendant continues sending the Speed Bar value even
after STEP button is released, until the Speed Bar is released.
