Run/Hold Function
Adept T2 Pendant User’s Guide, Rev D 35
CMD1 and CMD2 When CMD1 is pressed, the system attempts to load the file
CMD1.V2 from the default disk, and COMMAND the program CMD1. The program file
CMD1.V2 must reside on the default disk, and it must contain a command program
named “cmd1”. If the file does not exist, or does not contain a correctly named program,
the operation will be aborted and the appropriate error message will be displayed on the
pendant display window. If CMD2 is pressed, the file CMD2.V2 will be loaded and
“cmd2” will be COMMANDed.
4.11 Run/Hold Function
The RUN/HOLD button is used to enable a “hold-to-run” mode. When the RUN/HOLD
button is initially pressed, it will stop the robot and pause the executing program (in task
0). If you then press and hold down the button, the program proceeds until the button is
released. When the button is released, the robot stops and the executing program pauses
until the button is pressed again.
To return to normal operation, use the system computer to do one of the following:
• If the program was paused during a robot motion, at the V+ dot prompt, type:
RETRY

• If the program was paused outside of a robot motion, at the V+ dot prompt, type:
PROCEED

For more details on the RETRY and PROCEED monitor commands, see the V+ Operating
System User’s Guide.
4.12 Program Set Function
The PROG SET (program set) button is used to select a new program to execute, set the
starting step number, set how many cycles of the program to perform, set the monitor
speed, and start a memory-resident application program.
