AUTO_T status (Automatic in programming mode)
This status can only be enabled if the AUTO/MAN key (optional) exists on the programming terminal. The
conditions for entering this status are the following:
·
status selector at programming .
·
programming terminal fitted with the optional AUTO/MAN selector and this selector at AUTO.
This status is similar to the normal AUTO status but it allows movement control at full speed from the pro
-
gramming terminal when the START and enable button are both kept pressed by the operator to perform the
movement.
The system passes from AUTO_T to HOLD following:
· release of the enable button by the operator. This also causes the movement to be stopped which can

requires the programming terminal to be placed in the cabinet before enabling the automatic status.
ALARM status
