HW0482008 1 Search Function The search function moves the manipulator to a specified position and stops it when a speci- fied direct input signal comes ON. Position data at the point the manipulator stops can be taken-in. This information can be used with other instructions, for instance, to obtain the distance from a goal position and modify operation accordingly.
