Removing Objects from System Memory Which Program Should I Execute? Normally, a disk file containing programs will have one main program that uses the other programs in the file. All program files delivered by Omron Adept follow these conventions: l There is only one main program per disk file. l The name of the main program is the name of the disk file (without any extension) preceded by "a.". For example, the disk file that holds the program could be named "MYSAMPLE.V2". The main executable program in that file is "a.mysample". These conventions are not requirements: Programs that are not supplied by Omron Adept may follow other conventions.
See the documentation provided with the files for details on which program to execute. To Halt Execution of a Program Emergency Stop To immediately halt a robot or motion device and halt execution of a program, activate any remote emergency stop connected to the system (such as the red panic button on the optional remote front panel). This will immediately turn off power to the motion device and stop the execution of any program currently attached to the robot or motion device. Early Program Termination To halt a program in a non-emergency situation, enter the command: ABORT ↵ ABORT can be entered even though the normal system prompt (".") is not displayed during program execution.
When you type the first letter, an "*" will appear where the dot prompt would normally appear. This special prompt is displayed when commands are being entered while a program is executing. NOTE: If a robot is in motion when the ABORT command is entered, the robot will NOT halt immediately, but will complete the current motion. The only time you cannot enter the ABORT command is when the system is waiting for input from the keyboard. For example, suppose the following message is displayed in the Monitor window: Are you sure Y/N? The typing cursor at the end of the line tells you the system is waiting for you to enter a response at the keyboard.
To halt program execution at this point, press CTRL+Z. Program execution will halt with an "unexpected end of file" error message. Removing Objects from System Memory eV+Operating System User's Guide, v2.x, 18320-000 Rev A Page 50
