Program Timer not running

Hi,

I have a program that I use to manage a conveyor. The program is used as a background logic. When I put the Flag 9 ON, it run the conveyor for 4 sec. Once it is done, the conveyor turn OFF.

This program ran for a while and now when I put the Flag 9 at ON, the conveyor is running indefinitely.

What can I do to make it work again?

Didn't find what you were looking for?

    Hi Sylvain,

    There is two possible cause if the program is in Running mode in the background logic section:

    1. The value in the register R[10] is very high

    2. The Timer[1] is not running

    Go in Status - Prg Timer and see if the Timer[1] increment when you put F[9] ON

    the Timer[1] is at 0 when F[9] is ON.

    How can I start it?

    Hi Sylvain,

    A good way is to have a program that start this timer at the power up of the robot. This program should look like this:

    To make it run at the boot of the robot, Go to MENU - NEXT - SYSTEM - Config

    Put the program at the line 3: COLD START Autoexec program:

    Power cycle the robot and the timer should run.
