The write input is invalid while T/P ON is selected on the teach pendant, or while operation or parameter transfer is being performed through the computer software (SF-98D).
Discontinue ■ 4.2.10 Error output (OUT2) Signal name: ERROR This signal is ON when an error occurs in the controller. For details on the error types and their troubleshooting procedures, refer to section ■ 6.2. The function of OUT2 is selected by the parameter M13. (Refer to section ■ 3.2.2.) Normal Error occurs Normal...
Discontinue ■ 4.2.12 Positioning complete output (OUT3) Signal name: POSI This is a signal that indicates that the target position was reached and positioning was completed. This is in the OFF state after the control power supply and drive power supply are turned on and before the origin return operation is completed.
Discontinue ■ 4.2.15 Torque limit operation output (OUT5) Signal name: TQCON This is ON during the torque limit operation. (Section A in the figure below) This output is valid only during torque limit operation. A different signal is output during normal operation.
Discontinue ■ 4.2.17 Limit output (OUT7) Signal name: TQLIM This is ON when the torque limit continues for the Torque limit judgement time or longer (section ■ 3.5.1 – (9)). This is set to OFF if the output torque drops below the torque limit value even after if it was set to ON momentarily.

Discontinue Movement is started when the start input (IN1) is received. At the same time, the completion point number outputs (OUT5 - OUT8) are all set to ON(=1111). Also, output during operation (OUT1) is set to ON, and the positioning complete output (OUT3) is set to OFF.
Discontinue ■ 5.2 Torque Limit Operation Torque limit operation moves the robot to the temporary target position without torque limit, and subsequently moves it to the final target position in the same direction, with specified torque limit. There are two methods to end torque limit operation: one method ends it through an external signal, and the other ends it automatically.

Discontinue Point table 3(=0010) is specified by command point number input (IN7 - IN10). Before setting start input (IN1) to ON, check that the output during operation (OUT1) is OFF and the error output (OUT2) is OFF. If OUT2 is assigned to READY/Error output, check that it is ON. Set start input (IN1) to ON after at least 10 msec has elapsed from (1).

Discontinue ■ 5.2.2 Ending torque limit operation automatically This is a method for ending the torque limit operation automatically by the controller. In the controller, detect that the torque limit operation has ended by setting the output during operation (OUT1) to OFF. Determine whether a workpiece is present using the status of the positioning complete output (OUT3), limit output (OUT7), and output during locking (OUT8).

Discontinue Movement is started when the start input (IN1) is received. At this point, the torque limit is not activated. At the same time, the output during operation (OUT1) is set to ON, positioning complete output (OUT3) is set to OFF, and the torque limit operation output (OUT5) is set to ON. After the output during operation (OUT1) is set to ON, return the start input (IN1) to OFF, or return it to OFF after at least 10 msec has elapsed after the start input (IN1) was set to ON.
