Ignition HMI as pendant replacement?

Safety isn't a huge concern

(e.g. moving a motor a specific distance by holding a button down.)

I would say that these two statements are contradictory.

It is difficult to create a true "momentary" button for "jog" operations.

See here:

Perspective Jog Button On Touch Screen

That would be a "Momentary" button. (Did you mean "jog" instead of "job"?) It is very difficult to make reliable momentary buttons on any platform, though it is possible (not easy) with Vision. IA doesn't offer a built-in momentary button on Perspective because they probably haven't found a reliable way to do it, yet. Consider other control schemes.

Also, do a search for stuck momentary button to learn about the difficulties such a control scheme can present.
