Chapter 3. Multi-tasking
5. Program Switching
There are several ways to switch programs depending on the program operating application but the typical methods are
described below.
External Start
Program Switching
Program Single task EXIT Command
Multi task EXPG Command
(1) External Start
Refer to Chapter 2 Part 3.
After the power is turned on, input a program No. and execute the designated program by external start input.
After the first program, another designated program can be executed by inputting the program No. and external start
input.
(2) Program
• Single task
Executing the EXIT command (program end) after each program, completes programs and returns the controller
to the original status (the time power was turned ON). However, home position is maintained. Another program
No. can be designated, and the program can be switched by external start input.
• Multi-task
Execute the EXPG command (start up other program) within the management program and programs are executed
one after another in parallel.
