Programming 5-5
The Begin Idle, During Idle, End Idle, and Periodic procedures are used in product or macro programs to
program idle and periodic behavior. They are executed by the Begin Idle, End Idle, and Periodic buttons
on the Operator and Edit Screens. See 5.6.1.1 Idle Behavior and 5.6.1.3 Periodic Behavior for additional
information.
Periodic1 to PeriodicN procedures execute based on their timers only. To use Periodic1 to PeriodicN
procedures, you must create procedures with the same names.
The Startup procedure executes when ECNT is started. To use this procedure, you must create a
procedure named Startup. In order for it to run, it must be in the macro or product program loaded when
ECNT is shut down.
Reserved procedures are included in the Macro1.ECM program included with ECNT. To open
Macro1.ECM follow the instructions under 5.3.4 Opening a Macro Program. Procedures in the
Macro1.ECM program are shown in Figure 5-3. To modify a reserved procedure, click on the procedure
name and insert the desired program instructions. See 5.9.5 Creating a Procedure for additional
information.
" NOTE The Go to Front and Z Home procedures are preprogrammed. They are activated by the
Go to Front button and Z Home buttons. They are included as programming aids only.
DO NOT use them in any product programs or attempt to execute them with a Call
Procedure instruction.
