What makes you think we would be anything else?

I know you can change the ladder and other diagnostic functions, but I don't recall ever seeing a force function on the 18?
This has been a feature on Mitsubishi controllers for a while, which is handy.
Did you see it somewhere that you could?

no never seen it.I mainly work on mazak machine tools and automatically thought the fanuc outputs could be forced as well.The problem im having is a keep signal is not output and really cant find the problem, im currently looking for a M code list for this machine its a johnford vmc 630 which i think will solve this.Not 18m 16m can you explain how to change the ladder .

Is the m/c a 16M then?
What Fanuc manuals do you have?

sorry mate yes its a 16M,management bought the machine so as usual manuals dont exist and it was purchased through a third party so have no contact with the original owner.
