Start-up
The start-up section encompasses
block 3-6, 10, and 31. It is responsible for 
startup. Block 31 is executed only once 
(upon power up) and can be useful for 
setting user variables, or outputs that need 
to be reinitialized at power up, but may be 
variables themselves. Block 3 has the 
condition “False” in and provides a point to 
loop back the end of the flow chart, and 
ensures that all blocks have connections. 
The balance of the blocks regulates a 
normal start up. 
Block 4 must see the rising edge of
Local_Input1, this assures that input was 
activated to enable system, rather than just 
left on all of time. Block 5 enables the servo. 
Local_Output1 and (user variable) 
[SystemOk] is set in Block 6. The [System 
Ok] variable is used by the two other main 
programs a signal that it is Ok to execute. 
The last block (10) starts the other main programs (Manual and Automatic). Lastly 
Local_Output4 is set if the system had been previously homed. Only a power cycle will clear the 
[Homed] bit indication.
