Start programs
The SPC200 allows the specification of start programs.
An SPC200 can control two work stations. It thereby supports
both the coordinated and the autonomous modes in both
work stations. Parallel program processing capability is not
used in co−ordinated mode. Only one start program is defined
(one active task). This program controls all
the axes. In auton
omous mode, two start programs (two active tasks) are de
fined. Each start program controls a different work station.
Further information on coordinated and autonomous opera
tion can be found in chapter 5 or in the system manual for the
SPC200.
In order to check the axes during commissioning,
define the
test program entered as a start program. This setting can be
modified later to reflect the design of your positioning sys
tem.
