5.7 Program Sequence (PS) Up to 6 individual programs can be linked in a program sequence. After activation of a program sequence, the controls work through the individual programs in proper order. A total of 6 independent program sequences (No.2-7) can be stored (Illus. 5.7-1). The program sequence 1 is an exception here. All 15 programs are stored, but only the currently selected program is displayed.
5.7.2 Changing a Program Sequence The programming or changing of a program sequence is conducted as follows. Select the program sequence to be changed with the procedure already described (see Chapter 5.7.1). Enter a two-digit program no. via the numeric keypad. (Attention: The old program sequence is completely overwritten with a single entry). After the entry of a 6th program no. or by pressing the OK key, the entry is ended and the newly generated program sequence is saved.
5.7.3 Automatic Execution of a Program Sequence The possibility of turning an automatic working-through of the program sequence on or off exists with the aid of the ‘F5’ soft key (Illus. 5.7-2). Entry : on / off Automatic sequence advance ON / OFF The designation of this function occurs through an appropriate arrow symbol between the program numbers of a program sequence. 4 Illus. 5.7-2: Selection screen for the program sequence with designation of the automatic execution.
