Write access without mastership request

Hi All,
I'd like to transmit sensor data from a pc to a robot program. That should be working in automatik and manual mode without any response of an operator. Is it possible to get write access to a numeric ProgrammData without "grant"-ing write access to the PC for example in a background task?
Hope to find a solution.
Happy hackng

    You can send digital and group inputs to the controller as a remote client, in manual and without mastership. So you can make your background task wait for a certain input and set your numeric variable according to the group input.

  • Pavel,

    (1) Can you define group inputs? (2) Can you provide an example of this using the PCSDK and manual mode? I'm working on a project wherein my targets will be continuously modified by sensor data, meaning each target will be offset (XYZ) based on what my sensor is telling me about its context. I have multi-tasking and pc-interface installed.

    Thanks,

    Nick
