5.1 General notes on operation
Operating modes of the SPC200
Start/Stop In the operating mode Start/Stop the SPC200 can control
positioning tasks independently. Any necessary synchroniz
ation with externally controlled processes is supported by
the Programmed Stop" (command M00).
Record Select The Record Select operating mode supports the close
coupling of the SPC200 with a higher−order PLC/IPC. If con
trolled by an I/O module, 32 NC
records of the fixed starting
programs can be accessed via 5 digital inputs. In this oper
ating mode, only positioning commands, positioning condi
tions and commands for setting the positioning quality class
are supported (see chapter 5.3).
In both operating modes the SPC200 can process two paral
lel−running programs. Coordinated and autonomous oper
ation
of two work stations can therefore be achieved with one
SPC200.
Setting the operating
mode

ing program in the menu CONFIG SYSTEM on the control
