Changing a program number using point job: setProgNo
The program number being selected can be changed by the point job. It is available in the following
cases.
If you set a program number by the point job after the power is turned ON, the same program
number will always be activated when the power is turned ON.
If you set a program number by the point job at the end at the work home, you can switch it to
the next program number. This fuction is useful for executing a series of programs in order.
For example, a series of point jobs such as [Program 1
Program 2
Program 3] is executed
repeatedly. If [SET ProgNum2] is executed by the point job at the end at the work home in
Program 1, the program changes to Program 2 after running Program 1. You can also set
the programs to change from 2 to 3 and to 1 repeatedly.
You can set a program number according to input from COM using the point job at the work
home. You can connect a barcode reader to COM and change the program according to the
value of the barcode.
If you change the number while running a program, the running program or sequencer program will
not be changed instantly. After changing the number, the running program will be changed when
the robot restarts from the standby state.
If you want to execute another program while running the program, use the [callProg] command.
