Running a Program
Chapter 7
7-5
Before selecting a part program it is necessary to tell the control where this
part program is currently residing. The program can reside:
in the control’s RAM memory
on a peripheral device attached to port A such as a tape reader (refer to
system installers documentation)
on a peripheral device attached to port B such as a tape reader (refer to
system installers documentation)
Important: If selecting a peripheral device attached to one of the two
communication ports (A or B) that port must have previously been
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 port A or B is never selected, the input device should remain at
its default of control memory and the following procedure should be
unnecessary.
To select the part program input device:
