Bit #10 = 1: Track delay configured by simulate_ext_start,
set_ext_start_delay or set_ext_start_delay_list is counted
beginning with the most recent externally (but not with
execute_list_pos etc.) triggered or simulated External Start.
The interval between subsequent External Starts (in encoder
pulses) is thus constant, see also Section ”Regular (Periodic)
External Starts”, page 293. For stop_execution or an
external stop signal, Bit #10 gets reset to “0”.
= 0: Track delay configured by simulate_ext_start,
set_ext_start_delay or set_ext_start_delay_list is counted
beginning with the time point an External Start has been
requested (that is, with the corresponding
simulate_ext_start or simulate_ext_start_ctrl command
or external start signal). The interval between subsequent
External Starts (in encoder pulses) can thus vary.
Bit #12 Reserved.
… …
Bit #31 Reserved.
Comments • If execution is aborted by stop_execution, then Bit #0 and Bit #10 gets reset to zero,
thus deactivating external start input ports and the counting of track delays with
respect to a the triggering event.
• If Bit #9 = 0, then there is generally a small (random) time offset (10 µs jitter) between
the start signal at /START, /START2 and the actual execution start. If Bit #9 = 1, then
this 10 µs jitter is not present because the encoder reset then occurs synchronously
with the start signal.
• Bit #9 = 0 is useful, when several separate Processing-on-the-fly Sessions are to be
started within a list.
• See also Section ”External Stop”, page 289 and Section ”External Start”, page 290.
RTC4RTC6 Bit #8 cannot not be used to lock or unlock the upper 8 bits of the 16-bit digital
output port for I/O commands. The RTC6 automatically reserves these bits for
varioSCAN FLEX control by move_to. It is not possible to explicitly release these bits
(release automatically occurs by load_program_file).
Otherwise: unchanged functionality for the bits that are also used on the RTC4.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
Version info Available as of DLL 600, OUT 600, RBF 600.
Last change DLL 605, OUT 605: Bit #4.
