Using the Direct Drive Technology Demonstration Machine Chapter 2

Using the Application to
Control the Machine

Once the machine is initialized using the hardware buttons it can be
controlled with the computer touch screen. The machine must be
connected to the computer via the ethernet cable and the computer
must be running the RSLogix Software application.

There are two virtual buttons displayed on the touch screen: Run and
Pause. Run will start the motion immediately. Pause will stop motion
after the current motion cycle.
