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.
