Hi,

When pushing the stop button while running in auto mode with a MPC20 r2, the engine status will go to cool down mode. But if you press again the engine will stop immediately. This is unwanted for our purposes.

How can I disable this?

I took the Key repeat function away already and prevented the display from going to manual mode as well, found in AP "User Stop Button Press" in "Engine_Control".

  Hi Mario,

  Here is the answer from the developer:

   

  He will have to remove this from the running loaded state.  It checks for auto mode in there and then goes to cooldown.  If he changes the state as shown below it will get him what he is wanting.

  Thanks Boyce,

  I guess I worded my question slightly wrong. I wanted the engine to go to Cooldown_ECS, but not allow it to stop until finished.

  When the stop button is pressed the User Stop Button Press AP sets the Engine Action Current to Stop, but while in Running_Loaded_ECS it gets reset back to No Action. It will still go to Cooldown_ECS, which is good for my purpose.

  I overlooked the Stop_Check_Generic, this has a decision (Engine_Action_Current = Engine_Action_Current_Stop) in it that will cause the engine to immediate stop as it doesn't get the reset action from Running_Loaded_ECS. I just added an additional decision (Current_Engine_State = Current_Engine_State_Running_Cooldown) to check if the engine is running in cooldown state and that works.

  Thanks for the help!
