There is no direct command for cycle start.
Cycle start button will start whatever program and step is currently primed.
Therefore you have to use variation of:
- PRIME (to prime program and from what step no).
- EXECUTE (to execute program and from what step no).
MC PRIME program, cycles, step no
MC EXECUTE program, cycles, step no
Most common is:
MC EXECUTE main,,1; (program, no stipulation on cycles, step no 1)
All of the above references are available in AS Manual.

Also "MC Continue" reapplies Cycle Start if certain conditions are met!

You can also use Dedicated input signals --> Aux 6.Input/output Signal -->1. Dedicated Input Signals EXT. MOTOR_ON and CYCLE START
