4.5.4 Run Anytime Programs
The programming environment has been designed to automatically stop all programs when a fault occurs (regardless of what type of fault).
Some applications require the ability to run a program as soon as a fault occurs of continue running a program even through a fault condition.
In order to do this, a program must be classified as “Run Anytime”. To define a program to be able to run during a fault or while the drive is
disabled, the “Run Anytime” check box must be selected in the Program view. Figure 141 shows an example of the “Run Anytime” check box
after it has been selected.
