Escape Sequences 6-17
ESC.Wn;v: Write Variable Value
This escape sequence allows a value to be written to a variable while the machine is
performing a downloaded program that is repeating forever, such as a conveyor controller
routine. This allows the downloaded program to include a test for a variable value in its
program loop. If the value is equal, it can execute another downloaded procedure such as
turning on the red error lamp on an A-600. The downloaded program continues to monitor
the same variable until it changes back to 0, at which point the error lamp can be turned off.
If both tests are included in the same downloaded procedure this can be done without
significantly affecting how the downloaded program is running.
ESC.Z Programmed Off
The Programmed Off command puts the System into the Programmed Off state; in this state,
the machine ignores all incoming data (including other escape sequences) until an
ESC.( or
ESC.Y occurs.
