Restore the system as soon as possible
Operation halts due to unknown reasons at an unknown location.
Using the One-Touch Ladder Jump Function in combination with
operation flow diagrams helps you quickly search the problems cause.
【Benefit】
During automatic operation, the process may stop without any warning alarms
(e.g. sensor positioning error). when this occurs, just touch the operation flow
diagram which will show you the root cause of the problem. Since there is no
need to use personal computers or ladder programs, the downtime of the
system is reduced.

When manually restoring the system after tooling change or emergency stop,
just press a switch to check the interlock status. This also reduces the
downtime.
