Batch File
The controller is provided with a function executing a series of commands in the
pack, which is called the "batch processing." To execute the batch processing,
commands should be written in the file in the order of execution. This file is
generally referred to as the "batch file." The batch file extension is ".BAT".
A file executed automatically just after the controller power is turned on is called the
"automatic start file." The name of this file is "AUTOSTR. BAT."
The automatic start file can be used for file selection in the external automatic mode.
For the file editing operation, see Para. 4.5.
Example: When executing files to be executed just after the power ON in the
external automatic mode:
File names :
AUTOSTR. BAT
SELECT PRO1
Save the above automatic start files in the controller RAM drive
beforehand. When the controller starts up after its power is turned on,
the file PRO1 is selected as the file for execution.
The commands which are effective in the automatic start file are SELECT, OVRD,
DATE, TIME, and SVON.
Notes:
• SVON is a command that is effective in internal automatic (INTERNAL)
and external automatic (EXT) modes.
1.5.3
Backup
Though programs using the robot language, positional data, changed user
parameters, etc., are saved in the RAM drive, it is recommended to back them up to
prepare for the worst. For this purpose, connect the serial port HOST and personal
computer and use our personal computer support software. This is also applicable
when loading the programs and data in the RAM drive.
For the personal computer support software refer to the separate manual.
