Function
With the function "Teach In" part programs (main programs and
subroutines) for motion sequences or simple workpieces can be
created, modified and executed by approaching and then storing
positions in combination with the function "MDI".
There are two possible methods of writing programs with
"Teach-in" and "MDI":
1. Manual positioning.
2. Manual input of coordinates and additional information.
Both entry of blocks (input, delete, insert) and automatic insertion by
manual approach of positions are possible only at points that have not
yet been executed.
1. Manual positioning
