Automatic operation
3Explanation of operation methods
(2) Starting from the T/B
With T/B software version 1.7 or later, the program’s automatic operation can be started from the T/B. (With
R57TB, version 3.0 or later)
Operations are carried out from the <OPERATION> screen opened by selecting <MENU>
→
<RUN>.
This function can be disabled by setting parameter: TBOP.
In "AUTOMATIC" mode, the T/B has the operation rights while displaying the
<OPERATION> screen. (The T/B’s status display lamp [ENABLE] blinks)
Note that operations which require the controller O/P (operation panel) or exter-
nal signal to have operation rights cannot be executed. (Refer to
for details.)
The functions which can be executed from the T/B <OPERATION> screen and the operations which can be
executed while the <OPERATION> is displayed are shown below.
