General Information about the Interface
2.1 Standard Mode and Compatible Mode
The robot controller can be operated in two different modes – standard mode and
compatible mode. The default is standard mode. Select either mode before operating
the robot controller.
In the standard mode, all of the advantages can be expected from the new model of
the robot controller by simultaneously running two or more programs with
multitasking.
The compatible mode focuses on compatibility with conventional DENSO robots. Use
this mode whenever compatibility is required. For example, when replacing a
conventional robot with a new model. However, there are some restrictions on the
use of new functions, such as multitasking, in this mode.
2.2 Switching between Modes
Switch from one mode to the other using the teach pendant or the PC teaching
system.
Caution: After switching between those modes, restart the robot controller to
make the new setting go into effect.
