Summary of Basic System Switches
The default switch settings at system power-up are given in the following table. (The switch
settings are not affected by the ZERO command.)
Optional enhancements to your V+ system may include additional system switches. If so,
they are described in the documentation for the options.
Switch Use
AUTO.POWER.OFF When this switch is enabled V+ will treat software errors as
hard errors and disable HIGH POWER. Normally these errors
stop the robot and signal the V+ program, but DO NOT cause
HIGH POWER to be turned off.
The soft errors are:
(-624) *force protect limit exceeded
(-1003) *Time-out nulling errors* Mtr
(-1006) *Soft envelope error* Mtr
BELT Used to turn on the conveyor tracking features of V+ (if the
option is installed).This switch must be enabled before any of
the special conveyor tracking instructions can be executed.
When BELT is disabled, the conveyor tracking software has a
minimal impact on the overall performance of the system.
Default is disabled.
CP Enable/disable continuous-path motion processing (see
"Continuous-Path Trajectories"). Default is enabled.
DECEL.100 When DECEL.100 is enabled for a robot, the maximum
deceleration percentage defined by SPEC is ignored and a
maximum deceleration of 100% is used instead. This
maximum deceleration value is used to limit the value specified
by the ACCEL program instruction. For backwards compatibility,
by default, DECEL.100 is disabled for all robots.
DRY.RUN Enable/disable sending of motion commands to the robot.
Enable this switch to test programs for proper logical flow and
correct external communication without having to worry about
the robot running into something. (Also see the TRACE switch,
which is useful during program checkout.) The manual control
pendant can still be used to move the robot when DRY.RUN is
enabled.
