Running a Program
This chapter describes how to test a part program and execute it in
automatic mode. Major topics include:
selecting special running conditions
program selection options
starting and stopping test and automatic operation
program checking modes
automatic operation mode
interrupted program recover {RESTRT PRGRAM}
jog retract
block retrace
The following subsections describe some of the available functions on the
control that affect how the control executes a program. The use of these
“special running conditions” is optional. They are activated either through
the MTB panel, through programming, through the {FRONT PANEL}
softkey, or some combination of the three.
When programming a slash “/” followed by a numeric value (1-9)
anywhere in a block, the control will skip (not execute) all remaining
programmed commands in that block if a corresponding softkey, or
optionally installed switch on the MTB panel, is activated. If the “block
delete type” parameter in AMP is set to “delete whole”, then the entire
block will be deleted regardless of the position of the block delete
character. For details on the block delete feature see chapter 10.
To activate the block delete feature the system installer may have installed
a switch corresponding to a block delete number (refer to documentation
prepared by the system installer), or use the {FRONT PANEL} softkey. If
using the {FRONT PANEL} softkey, only block delete 1 (/ or/1) is
available.
