Figure 103: Program Parameters
8.2.1 Program Name
The user can enter a descriptive name up to 12 characters
for the specific user program.
8.2.2 Program Number
Each program has an associated Program Number. The
number helps to keep the programs organized.
8.2.3 Task Number
The Task Number parameter determines which task the
program runs on. Default Task Number is 0. Users can
select Task Numbers from 0 to 3. Programs assigned to
different tasks can run simultaneously due to the
multitasking capabilities of the SM-EZ Motion module.
Programs assigned to the same task cannot run at the
same time.
For more information on Multitasking, refer to “Program
Multi-tasking” on page 74.
