Fanuc start problem

What you need is to configure and enable your CSTOPI input. Once enabled, energizing this input will immediately abort the currently running program.

I have CSTOPI for ABort set to True
I have Abort all prgrams by CSTOPI set to true
and my cycle stop is configured to UI4, and I have verified that the signal sent from the plc does in fact toggle UI4, but I still get locked by other task.

Having CSTOPI for Abort Set to TRUE should be it. That's been all I've had to do.

So, just to be 100% clear, with a running program, you can toggle UI4 and there is no change, correct?

One more thing - is it safe to assume that UI1, UI2, and UI3 are TRUE also?

Yes, UI1, 2, 3 are all on, as is Enable UI8. I send UI4 (cycle stop) for one second, then I pulse, fault reset for one second, then I strobe the PNS, the teach pendant switches to PNS0002, the I set the Prod Start (UI18) and I get the locked by other task error.I confirmed that UI4 (cycle stop is going high then low), the pns and sno line up. I don't know what else to do.It's like I've terminated the first prgram with the CSTOP but something else is running. If I press FCTN ABORT ALL on the pendant, it works like a charm, but I don't want to have to do that. I know this can be done because I've done it before, but I must be missing something.

Just a couple of pointers
1. Make sure Enable(UI8) is off when you send CSOPI(UI4)
2. Make sure CMNDENBL(UO1) is on when you send PNSTROBE(UI17)
3. Make sure CMNDENBL(UO1) and SNACK(UO19) are on when you send PRODSTART(UI18)

CMNDENBL is on when
1.The remote conditions are satisfied and
2.The operation conditions are satisfied and
3.The mode is continuous operation.(not in step mode)

I assume you have Enabled PNS and Remote in config.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have the problem fixed. I was stepping the program to a point, then turning step off, and it would not run without abort all. If I run the program in continuous mode, I have no issue.
