Restarting autostart.pc

Absolutely, determine which slot it was it operating in? 1-5 for D/E/F Con or 1-3 for C Controller?

Via keyboard, or KCWin you need the PCEXECUTE command, followed by the 'slot' no. you wish to execute it in:
PCEXECUTE 1:autostart.pc (this is for slot 1)
PCEXECUTE 2:autostart.pc (this is for slot 2)

Or go to Aux 0810 on D/E/F Controller and use the PCEXECUTE function in there, again choosing the relative slot no.

Whilst were on the subject too:
PCABORT 1:
PCABORT 2: for Aborting the PC Program in the slot no.

PCKILL 1:
PCKILL 2: for removing the PC Program from the stack (PC Program window)

PCEND 1:
PCEND 2: for stopping a PC Program when it gets to the last step (ie 1 cycle, but ONLY if you are not running in any go to label or conditional loop)

There are some others, but these are the usual ones...…….

You can also check during the motion program if the background programs are running.

You can create a program something like this:

.PROGRAM autostartcheck ()

IF TASK(1001)<>1 THEN
PCABORT 1:
PCEXECUTE 1: autostart.pc
END

.END

This program you can call it in motion program on a certain steps, depends how you want. The autostart.pc is a nutshell and 1001 is the first background program.
