Hello everyone. I am new to experience ABB robot. I have one question. In the system I am working, PLC is working as a master and robot is acting as a slave. Communication between the robot and the PLC is established by DeviceNet communication protocol. Now when the system is required to run in auto mode, mode selector switch on the robot controller is set to auto mode, motors are swithched ON by pressing the push button on the robot controller. Now the operator needs to tap on PP to Main option in the production window. How to make the PP jump directly to main program when robot is set in auto mode and motors are switched ON?
Program execution in auto mode

The better option is probably to have the PLC reset it through a system input (system parameters, I/O) so you have some control over it.
If you truly want it to reset to main every time you turn it to auto (very annoying IMHO) you can also set that in the system parameters under controller... Auto Condition Reset.

You just need to configure your Start button (on HMI) with the System Input (Action: Start at main) ===> when you press Start button, robot will automatically PP to main and Start

Auto Condition Reset.I wholeheartedly agree! I don't like StartAtMain either, can make the robot crash and you have to develop a homing strategy to prevent that.

I implemented it and it worked. Thank you very much for the solution and regret for the late reply.

Interlock of robot home signal is provided for starting the robot cycle to avoid crashing. Thank you
