See page 11 of 2004-programming-reference-guide-12-apr-2004.pdf (at the bottom of Perform Operations Example)for an example of how to reference a digital input. In this case, they use rc_dig_in01 to decide what to do (will the roller stop or go?).

You would need to connect your switch to digital input #1 on the robot controller for this to work.

Does this help?
