Override user selected speed or turtle mode

Is there a command or some trick I can use to ignore an operator's deviance or turtle mode button selected.
  • In manual or DCC mode? Once in DCC the routine dictates the move speed.
  • except for turning the speed controller on the jogbox, and there is no super-duper-override for that. If the operator turns it down to 10%, then the machine will only move at 10%.

    I don't know how hard or easy it would be to take the jogbox apart and disconnect the speed dial. If the operator is doing that to milk a job, then show them the door and let it hit them HARD in the backside as they go through.
  • in 2022 at the conference thing, I asked about a virtual e-stop and speed over-ride knob (so I could run something at another physical location while watching it on a camera).

    At that time, I was told no, the jog box and PC were communicating with different sections of the controller and there was no way to emulate the jog box from a PC while simultaneously ignoring the actual jog box.

    This was primarily so I could prove out a program from home (due to prolonged illness/quarantine), it seemed like I was the only one that had ever asked (at least to the people I actually asked), and I don't really need it anymore (I hope) so while interesting as an exercise to the guys I was talking to, expenditure of monies to make it actually occur was not something they had any interest in and I didn't feel like pitching a fit.

    Would have been nice once every 5-7 years, but not something I cared to fight over.

    I presume the answer to still be no.
