6.5 Task Monitor
This section explains how to display motion program execution conditions in the Task Monitor.
The Task Monitor will work properly only when PGM automatic generation is enabled in the Group
Definitions. Do not use the Task Monitor otherwise.
6.5.1 Outline
With task monitoring, the Machine Controller displays, task by task, the program currently
being executed, and shows their execution status.
The following diagram shows four processes four groups with four tasks under the first
group and four processed under the first task. The execution status for all tasks and pro-
cesses under one group can be monitored in the Task Monitor at the same time. MP900-
series Machine Controllers, however, support only one group.
6.5.2 Opening the Task Monitor Window
Open the Task Monitor Window from the Engineering Manager. Select File (F), Open (O),
Motion Program (M), and then Task Monitor (T) from the menu.
The Task Monitor Window will be opened.
