8.2.4 Run Anytime Enable
The SM-EZ Motion programming environment has been
designed to automatically stop all user programs when a
fault occurs (regardless of what type of fault), or when the
drive is disabled. Some applications require the ability to
run a program as soon as a fault occurs, or continue
running a program even through a fault is active. In order
to do this, the program must be classified as "Run
Anytime". To configure the program to be able to run during
a fault or while the drive is disabled, the "Run Anytime"
checkbox must be enabled in the Program view. Figure
103 shows an example of the "Run Anytime" checkbox
after it has been enabled.
When a fault occurs, the drive will still be disabled, and no
motion will be possible. For this reason, it may be
necessary to reset the fault in the "Run Anytime" program
prior to initiating motion again. If a motion instruction is
processed while the drive is disabled, the program will stall
on that particular line of the program, but the program will
not be stopped.
Certain conditions will still cause a program designated as
"Run Anytime" to stop. These conditions are listed below:
• Stop Function is activated
• "Run Anytime" program has a Program Fault
Multiple programs may be configured as "Run Anytime"
programs. "Run Anytime" programs can be called from a
user program just the same as any other program. If a "Run
Anytime" program calls another program which is not
configured to as "Run Anytime" while the drive is faulted or
disabled, the task will be stopped.
Resetting Errors in "Run Anytime" Programs
To reset an error from a "Run Anytime" program, use the
Error.Reset = ON command in the user program. The
Error.Reset command does not clear all types of errors.
Some errors require power to be cycled in order to clear the
error. For more information on the method used to clear
individual errors, see “Diagnostics” on page 117.
After using the Error.Reset command in a user program,
use a Wait For Time 0.100 ’seconds command to give the
drive time to clear the error and re-enable the drive before
initiating motion. If this is not done, the motion will be
initiated before the drive is enabled, and the instruction will
be ignored.
