Operating Mode Summary
There are four operating modes in the Super SEL Controller System. Of these, two are primarily used for program debug-
ging/trial operation and the remainng two are used in general applications at the factory site. The first two modes are: 1)
operation from a teaching pendant and 2) operation from the PC interface software. These are used for simple operating
checks. For the PC interface software mode, please read the operating manual that comes with the software. The latter two
modes are: 3) automatic operation based on parameter settings and 4) operation based on selection of external signals. In
the following sections, we will explain the operating modes except for 2, the PC software mode.
1. Automatic start using the parameters
Enter the number of the program you wish to start automatically in the controller parameter named "Automatic Start
Program." After doing this, the program that was entered will start running automatically when the controller is reset
or when it is powered up again after an emergency stop. This parameter can be set with the teaching pendant or the PC
interface software.
! Things to remember when using the automatic start program
When you use an automatic start program, the sudden startup of the servo actuator can startle the operator. As a safety
precaution, always use an interlock such as inserting a check signal at the beginning of the program so it will only
start up after it receives the signal.
If you wish to run several programs at the same time, write the command to run the other programs using the [EXPG]
command signal at the start of the primary automatic program.
