Hey! Im working on a system with about 40 conveyors.
Now this system was originally designed to be controlled by switches on a control panel, and was later setup with a PanelView, then a control mode switch was added to switch between having the system in local control(switches) OFF and panelview control.
I want to make an AOI for the conveyers. And I would like to be able to reference what control mode the system is in as part of the AOI without creating an AOI variable that need to be referenced in the ladder logic.
Is there a way to do this? Basically an AOI with an unchangeable reference to a controller scope tag, I.E. checking an E-stop before allowing a conveyer to start?
