3.

Use the String Browser to modify or set the
State_Name.

The new state name should match the updated state
set by the MachineSTATE_AOI instruction. For
example, if the MachineSTATE_AOI instruction
places the machine into the
Machine.State.PRODUCING state, then the
corresponding State_Name tag should be set to
PRODUCING.

Each instance of any MachineSTATE_AOI needs to
be set or updated based on changes to the machine
states.

Bypass Idle State Modifications

By default, the state machine transitions from STOPPED to IDLE when Start is pressed on the HMI terminal.
While in IDLE, typically all of the modules are reset and ready to run. Sercos and CIP Motion axes, for example,
are enabled and holding position at this point. When Start is pressed a second time, the machine transitions from
IDLE to RUNNING and motion begins. If your machine is not required to dwell on the IDLE state, but instead
transitions to the RUNNING state, then make this edit:

1.

Navigate to rung 5 in the R03_Control routine for the machine module.

2.

Delete the XIC and ONS instructions.

The IDLE state was not removed. Instead, the state machine transitions instantly from IDLE into
STARTING without requiring a second start request. To you, the operator, it will appear as if the IDLE
state was removed or bypassed altogether.
