Hello,
Is there anyway to control both the feed rate and the rapid rate from the WMPG-6 knob selector? The first rapid moves are often just as scary with new setups. I'd like to have the feed and rapid % be equal so I can ease into position the first time I run a part, from the comfort of my own WMPG.
Seems like programming the canned cycles in the WMPG-6 are not explicitly covered in the macro manual, and I fear that those options are out of reach. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: WMPG-6 Feed knob selector to also control Rapid
-You can use one of the ....rapid_link... VCP skins to link / unlink Feed Rate to Rapid Rate with a button on the VCP
-You can edit the PLC to link Feed and Rapid Rate with the WMPG permanently
- I have customized the PLC so Macro3 on the WMPG sets Rapid to 20% and Macro 4 to 100%
There are a lot different ways to modify the way CNC works to your liking.
