Had a quick search on here but haven't (yet) found my answer...
Is there a way in L5k/S5k to disable a user from forcing outputs...completely?
Reason: I have a machine that if two outputs are forced on simultaneously, then two pneumatic cylinders are going to crash into each other and bend stuff... not a danger to the operator as it's inside a chamber with safety guarding...
but if I had bubba willy nilly forcing stuff to try and solve a problem it might not end well..
In the logic I have interlocks (software) to prevent this from happening in auto mode, and I will be providing in the HMI a maintenance screen where they can toggle each cylinder (with logic that only one can be done at a time)
I can't do it via relay interlocks, because the signal is sent over E/IP to the pneumatic manifold header.
TIA.
