Finally, for backward compatibility with the MCP4, pressing the STEP button and the Speed
Bar simultaneously will also send the speed signal. This is useful when the Front Panel key
switch is in "Manual" position (described in the next section).
Using the STEP Button
When the Auto/Manual key switch is set to Manual, V+ programs cannot initiate motions
unless High Power is enabled, the pendant is set to COMP mode, and you press the STEP
button and the Speed Bar on the pendant. To continue a motion consisting of multiple MOVE
instructions once it has started, you must continue to press the STEP button and the Speed
Bar. Motions started in this mode have their maximum speeds limited to those defined for
Manual control mode.
If a program attempts to initiate a motion when the STEP button and Speed Bar are not
pressed, the following error message is displayed on the pendant and on the system Monitor:
*Speed pot or STEP not pressed*
Once a motion has started in this mode, releasing the Speed Bar immediately terminates the
motion as well as any belt tracking or motion defined by an ALTER program instruction. The
error message shown above is displayed on the pendant and on the system Monitor.
If a motion is in process, and you release the STEP button while still pressing the Speed Bar,
the robot will finish the current MOVE instruction and stop. After that, the error message
shown above is displayed on the pendant and on the system Monitor.
As an additional safeguard, when High Power is enabled and the keyswitch is set to Manual,
the pendant is initially set to Off mode, not COMP mode or Pendant Control mode.
Note for V+ programmers: application programs designed to move the robot in Manual mode
should read the status of the STEP button and the Speed Bar before starting the move. The
program should prompt the user as required.
