2.3 Operational modes

AUBO SCOPE is designed with four operational modes: Manual, Automatic, Link and Local, which can be selected by operating the [Mode Switch]// button in the [Status Bar].

*: This function is only supported by some controller models. For details, see the Hardware Manual.

2.3.1 Manual mode

In Manual mode, all the functions of the software are available for your use, but you cannot control the robot to execute a program through I/O. This mode is usually suitable for applications with one robot only.

2.3.2 Automatic mode

In Automatic mode, you can neither edit and set programs and installation configuration files, nor move the robot. That is, functions including [Program], [Configure] and [Move] are disabled, and the robot only executes the defined programs.

2.3.3 Link mode

In Link mode, you can neither edit and set programs and installation configuration files, nor move the robot. That is, functions including [Program], [Configure] and [Move] are disabled, but you can control the program through I/O. Link mode can only be switched from Automatic mode.

2.3.4 Local mode

The Local mode is activated when neither mode safety input I/Os nor mode switching password is set for the system.

Local mode is not available when the authority is Advanced.
