ABB "NOSTEPIN" equivalent for Yaskawa

Since this is Motoman forum, can you tell us what the ABB's "NOSTEPIN" declaration is for?

The NOSTEPIN is declared in a module and makes all subroutines in it, a no step in.

If you are steeping through the code,say in the Main, the call to the subroutine would seem like a single command. In other words it would not step into the Sub. It would act like a single line command, but would run all the code in the Sub.

Maybe MACRO? I think that is a purchased option though.

What do you mean by steeping(?) through the code?
Reading the code on the teach pendant without execution or executing program in Step mode?

step mode...steeping is a typo

If you call a function and its nostepin, it will not step through the function. It will execute as if you had stepped through one instruction.

I don't believe macro will perform the instructions. I could be wrong but we use touch sense macros and it skips over the instruction if you're stepping through the program.. I've never created any so I could be wrong. You can always read up on macros here:

Macro Function – Yaskawa Motoman

Add the following in the beginning of the subroutine
(use any desired flag and register number):
F[1:STEP MODE MEM]=($SSR.$SINGLESTEP) ;
IF (R[1:NOSTEPIN]<>0), ($SSR.$SINGLESTEP)=(0) ;

And this at the end of the subroutine.
$SSR.$SINGLESTEP=(F[1:STEP MODE MEM]) ;

Non-zero value in the register will be the equivalent of NOSTEPIN declaration, but the first two lines shown will be stepped through.

That sure ain’t Yaskawa instructions.

Forget what I wrote. It's for Fanuc.

Forget what?

No, but you can at least write protect your *.jbi file in the job header. This would be the same as ABB Rapid "MODULE Yaskawa(READONLY)" You don't have NOSTEPIN/NOVIEW/VIEWONLY argument

We use macro to actuate a tool a distance set by argument, and they do fire as one instruction while teaching / going through the job step by step.
