<About parameters related to task slots>
The parameters SLT1 to SLT32 contain information about the name of the program to be executed, opera-
tion mode, start condition, and priority for each of the 32 task slots (set to 8 slots at the factory default set-
ting).
Please refer to Page 438, "5 Functions set with parameters"
*Designation format
Parameter name = 1. program name, 2. operation format, 3. starting conditions, 4. order of priority
*Various setting values and meanings
Item of parameter Default value
1. Program name SLT1: Program
selected on the
operation panel.
SLT2 to 32: Name
of the program to
be specified with a
parameter.
2. Operation format REP
3. Starting conditions START
4. Order of priority 1
(number of lines exe-
cuted in priority)
Note1) The start operation conducted from the operation panel or by sending the dedicated input signal
START will start the execution of programs of all the task slots whose start conditions are set to
"START" at the same time.
To start the program independently, start in slot units with the dedicated input signal (S1 START to
S32START). In this case, the line No. is preassigned to the same dedicated input/output parameter.
Refer to Page 552, "6.2 Sequencer link I/O function"
the dedicated input/output.
*Setting example
An example of the parameter settings for designating the following items in slot 2 is shown below.
Designation details) Program name: 5
Operation format: Continuous operation
Starting conditions: Always
Order of priority: 10
SLT2=5, REP, ALWAYS, 10
Setting value
Possible to set a registered
program
REP : Continuous operation If REP is specified, the program is executed again from the
CYC : One cycle operation
START : Execution of a pro-
gram using the START but-
ton on the operation panel
or the I/O START signal
ALWAYS : Execution of a
program when the control-
ler's power is turned on
Error : Execution of a pro-
gram when the controller is
in error status
1 to 31: Number of lines
executed at one time at mul-
titask operation
for details.
Explanation
Use the parameter to specify the execution of predeter-
mined programs in multitask operation. If the programs to
be executed vary depending on conditions, it is possible to
specify the program using the XLoad and XRun instructions
in another program. The programs selected on the opera-
tion panel are set if SLT1 is specified.
top after the program ends when the final line of the pro-
gram is reached, or by execution of the End instruction.
If CYC is specified, the program ends after being executed
for one cycle and the selected status is canceled. Change
the SLOTON setting of the parameter if it is desired to keep
the program in the selected status. Please refer to the sec-
tion for SLOTON in Page 438, "5 Functions set with param-
eters" for details.
Select START when it is desired to start normally.
Use ALWAYS when it is desired to execute the program in
constant execution mode. Note, however, that it is not pos-
sible to execute movement instructions such as Mov during
constant execution of a program. Programs in constant exe-
cution mode can be stopped via the XStp instruction. They
cannot be stopped via the operation panel and external
input signals, or emergency stop.
Specify Error when it is desired to execute a program in
case an error occurs. It is not possible to execute instruc-
tions for moving the robot, such as the Mov instruction. The
operation mode (REP/CYC) is one-cycle operation (CYC)
regardless of the setting value.
If this number is increased, the number of lines executed at
one time for the task slot is increased. For example, if 10 is
specified for SLT1, 5 for SLT2, and 1 for SLT3, then after 10
lines of the program specified in SLT1 have been executed,
five lines of the program specified in SLT2 are executed,
and then one line of the program specified in SLT3 is exe-
cuted. Afterward this cycle will be repeated.
