OPERATOR’S MANUAL
series  Robot Controller
8.3  Selecting Run Mode 
 (1) Function 
Changes over the run mode of automatic operation. 
 (2) Procedures 
  (a)  External control signal mode: 
When the cycle operation mode signal is turned on, the cycle operation mode 
is selected.    When the same signal is turned off, the continuous operation 
mode takes effect. 
For the cycle operation mode signal, see the Interface Manual. 
  (b)  "EX. 232C" or "EX. ETHER" mode: 
Specify the run mode by sending the MODE command as an internal 
command for data communication (EC). 
For details of sending the internal command, see the Communication Manual. 
 (3) Cautions 
•  In the external control signal mode, the run mode is selected by the cycle 
operation mode signal. 
•  In the "EX. 232C" mode and "EX. ETHER" mode, the cycle operation mode 
signal is ineffective. 
•  If the external automatic mode has replaced the internal automatic in the "EX. 
232C" mode and "EX. ETHER" mode, the operation mode effective then is 
maintained.    To specify the run mode in the host mode, send the MODE 
command as an internal command through data communication. 
•  In the external automatic mode, you cannot specify the run mode, using the 
command through the teach pendant. 
•  EX. ETHER function is provided as standard in TS3000 and as an option in 
TSL3000.
