I have experimented with the following scenario:
My program is running. Then I switch the pendant from ON to OFF. Next I switch the pendant back to ON and press the Auto Start button on the panel mate. In some cases I have noticed that the program resumes from that line it left off on. In other cases, the program resumes from the beginning (calls the main start program). What governs how the program resumes in this case?
Thanks very much.

On my RJ3iB, R30iA, and R30iB controllers with Handling Tool a 'paused' robot picks up where it left off or presents a confirmation dialog asking how you want to continue. The only time I've seen a robot go back to 'main' is when you abort execution or restart the controller (cycle power...). You can also run into trouble if you edit a paused program and delete the active line.
