Switches Summary of Basic System Switches The default switch settings at system power-up are given in the following table. (The switch settings are not affected by the ZERO command.) Optional enhancements to your eV+ system may include additional system switches. If so, they are described in the documentation for the options. Basic System Switches eV+Language User's Guide, v2.x, 18318-000 Rev A Page 97 Switch Use AUTO.POWER.OFF When this switch is enabled eV+ will treat software errors as hard errors and disable HIGH POWER. Normally these errors stop the robot and signal the eV+ program, but DO NOT cause HIGH POWER to be turned off. The soft errors are:
(-624) *force protect limit exceeded (-1003) *Time-out nulling errors* Mtr (-1006) *Soft envelope error* Mtr BELT Used to turn on the conveyor tracking features of eV+ (if the option is installed).This switch must be enabled before any of the special conveyor tracking instructions can be executed. When BELT is disabled, the conveyor tracking software has a minimal impact on the overall performance of the system. Default is disabled. CP Enable/disable continuous-path motion processing (see "Continuous-Path Trajectories"). Default is enabled.
DECEL.100 When DECEL.100 is enabled for a robot, the maximum deceleration percentage defined by SPEC is ignored and a maximum deceleration of 100% is used instead. This maximum deceleration value is used to limit the value specified by the ACCEL program instruction. For backwards compatibility, by default, DECEL.100 is disabled for all robots. DRY.RUN Enable/disable sending of motion commands to the robot. Enable this switch to test programs for proper logical flow and correct external communication without having to worry about the robot running into something.
(Also see the TRACE switch, which is useful during program checkout.) The manual control pendant can still be used to move the robot when DRY.RUN is enabled.
