Pallet counter (corresponds to pallet 1 to 100)
#palletFlag (1 to 100) does not become “1” (true) even if a value which fills the counter is
assigned to #palletcount (1 to 100).
e.g.) Perform a pallet job by skipping a given pallet.
Pick up a workpiece at P1, places it on the pallet (set at P2) and advances to the next point (P3) where the
pallet becomes full. However, there are 2 points (P2-5, P2-11) on the pallet where a workpiece is not
placed.
The pallet becomes pallet number 3, and the tool is connected using the following settings.
“Pick up workpiece” (pick up): #handOut1=ON
”Place workpiece” (place): #handOut1=OFF
