• Restart MLX-R - when pressed, a confirmation box will pop-up
confirming that the user wants to restart MLX PLC Interface Software
(MLX-R). This functionality is not part of “normal” robot operation and
should only be used if the continued operation requires a restart of
the MLX PLC Interface. Setting the Home Offsets and changing the
operating mode are examples of operations that require the MLX200
process to restart. Prior to using this functionality, the user should
press [ABORT] first.
