Set Utility
The PROGRAM command displays a menu of commands to develop and execute programmes.
Activate
The effect of the ACTIVATE command depends on the holdable/non-holdable programme attribute of the
programme specified as parameter:
·
Activating a holdable programme places it in a ready state. The START button must be pressed to place
the programme in a running state.
·
Activating a non-holdable programme places it in a running state directly.
If a holdable programme is already active on an arm and one of the programmes has the DETACH attribute
specified, a prompt is shown asking whether two or more programmes should stay active on the same arm. If
a holdable programme is still active and the DETACH attribute is not specified, a message is displayed say
-
ing that the arm is already “DETACHed”.
The programme must be loaded into the memory before it can be activated. The asterisk cannot be used.
This command can be used with the memory protection on, but not when system or programme protection is
on. The controller must not be in a FATAL status.
The following options can be used to activate the programme with a different step mode than the default
mode. Refer to PROGRAM TEST STEP command for the meaning of each step.
Options: /Cycle
/Disable
/Fly
/Move
/Routine
/Statement
Syntax: PA <programme_name>
Deactiv

GRAM ACTIVATE command.
The programme to be deactivated is specified as a parameter. The asterisk can be used in the parameter to
deactivate more than one programme. This command can be used when memory protection is on, but not
when system or programme protection is on. The controller must not be in a FATAL status.
Options: /Confirm prompts for confirmation before deactivating a programme.
Syntax: PD <programme_name>
All active programmes can be deactivated using PD * or CTRL Y (^Y). CTRL Y can be issued from any ac
-
tive menu level and it is only valid while in PROG mode and with no protection active.
Protected programmes cannot be deactivated using this command. To deactivate protected programmes, it
is necessary to use the PDL2 DEACTIVATE instruction or action.
