Startup

Description

The Startup screen contains settings for automatically loading and starting a default program, and for auto-initializing the Robot arm during power up.

  1. When autoload, auto start and auto initialize are enabled, the robot runs the program as soon as the Control Box is powered up as long as the input signal matches the selected signal level. For example, the edge transition to the selected signal level will not be required in this case.

  2. Use caution when the signal level is set to LOW. Input signals are low by default, leading the program to automatically run without being triggered by an external signal.

  3. You must be in Remote Control Mode before running a program where auto start and auto initialize are enabled.

 
Loading a Startup Program

 

A default program is loaded after the Control Box is powered up. Furthermore, the default program is auto loaded when the Run Program screen (see Run Tab) is entered and no program is loaded.

 
Starting a Startup Program

The default program is auto started in the Run Program screen. When the default program is loaded and the specified external input signal edge transition is detected, the program is started automatically.
On Startup, the current input signal level is undefined. Choosing a transition that matches the signal level on startup starts the program immediately. Furthermore, leaving the Run Program screen or tapping the Stop button in the Dashboard disables the auto start feature until the Run button is pressed again.
