Running a Program
Chapter 7
7-5
Before selecting a part program, you must tell the control where this part
program is currently residing. There are 3 options here:
the program can be resident in the control’s memory
the program can be resident on a peripheral device attached to port A
such as a tape reader (refer to system installers documentation)
the program can be resident on a peripheral device attached to port B
such as a taper reader (refer to system installers documentation).
Important: If you select a peripheral device attached to one of the two
communication ports (A or B), that port must have been previously
configured to communicate to that specific peripheral device. Refer to
chapter 9 for details on communications setup for ports A and B. Selecting
a program from the control’s memory is the default configuration of the
control. If do not select port A or B, the input device should remain at its
default of control memory and the following procedure should be
unnecessary.
