1) PLC sets "servo ON H" when it detects "turning servo ON L." The robot turns the servo power supply on and
sets "turning servo ON H." PLC acknowledges "turning servo ON H" and sets "servo ON L."
2) PLC sets "program reset H" upon receiving "program selectable L." The robot returns to the beginning of the
program and sets "program selectable H" when the program becomes ready to be started. PLC sets
"program reset L" when it detects "program selectable H."
3) PLC acknowledges "turning servo ON H," "program selectable H" and "operating L" and sets "start H."
The robot sets "program selectable L" and "operating H" when it detects "start H." PLC confirms "operating H"
and sets "start L."
4) If a stop signal is input, the following processing is performed.
Upon receiving "stop H" from PLC, the robot sets "operating L."
