Figure 89: Motion Program Example
The program count determines how many times the program will be executed. In this example
the program count for Program 1 is 10. This means everything within Program #1 will repeat
10 times including Program #2. If the program count is set equal to zero (Ø), the program will
not execute. If the program count is set equal to 65535, the program will execute indefinitely.
The program function codes determine the actual moves to be executed. Each function will
be performed in the sequence that is shown in the program screen. Once you have entered the
sequence, download the new program data to the FX drive by pressing the <Esc> key, or by
moving the cursor up to the Program Number position using the arrow keys. The upper left
corner of the screen will display a “BUSY” message during the download.
