3.1 Starting a Program by Auto-Start via Parameter Setting
Other parameter No. 7 (Auto program start setting) = 1 (Standard factory setting)
Set the number of the program you wish to start
automatically in other parameter No. 1 (auto-start
program number).
Set the controller mode to AUTO.
Reconnect the power or execute a software reset, and
the controller will be reset.
Once the controller is reset in the above step, the
program of the set number will start automatically.
*
Caution
[Note on starting a program by auto-start]
The automatic operation will begin immediately after the controller is reset, so the user may be surprised
by unexpected movements of the equipment, particularly those caused by a sudden activation of the servo
actuator. To ensure safety, always provide an interlocking function, such as allowing the program
execution to proceed only after receiving a confirmation signal at the beginning of the program.
If you wish to start multiple programs at the same time, write multiple “EXPG” commands at the beginning
of the main program to start the remaining programs. Provide safety measures for each program to be
started.
* If the following setting is performed, the program of the selected program number will start automatically at the
ON edge of the signal received by the selected input port. The program will be aborted at the OFF edge.
You can set a desired input port for receiving the auto program start signal (dedicated function).
Set the input function setting value “5” in the I/O parameter corresponding to the desired input port number (Nos.
30 through 45, 251 through 258).
(Refer to “I/O Function Lists” and “I/O Parameters.”)
