To activate a part program, it must be selected as described on page 8.3.
To select a program for automatic execution, follow these steps:
Important: Consider the following when selecting a program:
The control cannot select a program for execution if that program file is
still open for editing. See chapter 5 to learn how to exit the edit mode.
Your system installer may have written PAL to allow some other
method of part program selection. Refer to the documentation prepared
by your system installer for additional information.
Before selecting a part program to activate, the input device must have
been previously selected as described on page 7-5. The default
condition selects the part program out of control memory.
If a program was previously activated and not deactivated, the control
cannot select a different part program. If you want a different part
program, you must first deactivate the active program as described on
page 7-8. You can use a different method to select a program; it is
described in chapter 7.
