A.1.2.3 Starting an Automatic Program
Once a program has been downloaded to the MCT, two control parameters must be set in order to start the
program. These are the program start step (14) and the program control (15) registers. The program start step
register must first be set to the step number that the program is to start on. Note that this must be a value from
1 to the last step of the program.
Once this parameter has been set, the program can be started by setting the program control register to a value
of eight (8). This will put the program into run mode and it will begin operation on the step number designated
in the program start step parameter. Note that once the program is started, the program start step register (14)
will reset to zero. This forces you to set it each time you want to start a program. A program will not start unless
this parameter is set. This ensures that each time a program is started; it is starting on the proper step number
that you designate.
