To activate the single block function, press the

<SINGLE BLOCK>

button.

The light inside the button lights up when active.

ATTENTION: Single block execution is not possible during
reciprocation.

If you press the

program in the automatic or MDI mode, the control activates the single
block function after it completes the commands in the currently executing
block.

The

button is a toggle switch. If you press it again while

the single block function is active, the control cancels the function and the
light inside the button turns off. The remaining program blocks can be
executed normally by pressing the
