ITEM DESCRIPTION
In-cycle measured by This item determines how the program “RUN” time statistics is measured. The choices are:
  • BUSY – Robot is deemed to be in-cycle when program running.

  • MOTION – Robot is deemed to be in-cycle when moving.

Cycle Count by This item determines how the robot cycle count is measured. The choices are
  • PROGRAM START – Every time a program is run in AUTO, the cycle counter is incremented. If the program does not lock any group, it will not be counted as a cycle. If a program uses RUN_TASK, other method should be used.

  • UOP PROD_START – Every time a program is run by the “Prod_start” UOP input, the cycle counter is incremented.

  • INPUT PORT – The cycle counter is incremented when a pulse is input on a digital input port.

  • USER PROGRAM – Use a register to store the cycle count. The user program is responsible for updating the value.

Cycle count input This item is only used when the previous item is set “INPUT PORT”, and indicates the index number for the input port to monitor for a pulse.
Register Index This item is only used when the previous item is set “USER PROGRAM”, and indicates the index number for the register for the cycle counter.
Current cycle count This indicates the accumulated cycle count value. The operator may modify this value here in this screen.
