    Hello all, I am looking for information regarding controlling Step Mode. I have a robot (R30ib -HandlingTool 7.7) that will not enter step mode while in automatic cycle. When the teach pendant is enabled it will allow step mode.

    I have compared all of the step settings to other identical robots and they are the same. Any ideas? I have gone through the system variables and step mode settings I could find in the manual.

    I am starting to think there is a Karel program blocking it.

    I can't think of a reason why to put a production robot actually producing, in step mode during auto instead of just pressing hold :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: but this is propably the variable you need to check: $RSMPRG_SV.$no_step.

    When in AUTO mode check the status of this variable. Check any KAREL routines or BG LOGIC that mess around with this variable.

    Also check $SSR STRUCTURE and specificaly $SSR.$singlestep.

    Those are the variables I compared to the other robots and they are identical. I personally don't use the step function in that manner, but the people on the floor do when they want to stop the robot right before a point they want to touch up.

    I have no idea whether it was solved or not, but at least some of us uses search engine from the forum :smiling_face:

    I'd presonally check in Prog Select -> Production checks -> Single step. Look at the attached screens.

    Hope this helps.

    If the problem is that step mode is forced to disable in auto, you may need to set the system variable $EXT_DI_STEP.$ENABLE = FALSE
