8. SETTINGS NEEDED TO MAKE A RUN
Before running a point or program, match up the following settings to the methods and environment
with which you will use the robot.
8.1 External Run Mode Settings
If using the robot in External Run Mode, set the source from where the entered start signal becomes
valid.
The start signal can only be made valid in one place. If sending the start signal from I/O-SYS, a run
start from COM 1 is not recognized. If you want to direct a run start from COM1, set to COM 1.

• I/O-SYS
Turn ON #sysIn1 (I/O-SYS) and the run starts.
• Fieldbus
Turn ON #fbIn1000 (Fieldbus) and the run starts.
For details regarding Fieldbus, refer to External Control (I/O / Fieldbus).
• COM1
Send a run start command from COM1 and the run starts. For command details, refer to the
operation manual Communication Control (COM/LAN).
• User Definition
When set to [User Definition], the robot cannot be started up from either I/O-SYS, Fieldbus or
COM1.
With system programs you can expect to use this setting not for performing program starts and/or
axis movements, but for performing programs and/or axis movements according to Run Mode jobs
set by the user.
In this situation, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure there is only one start channel. Once set
to [User Definition], callProg and movement commands are recognized in Run Mode operations.
