How to continue cycle in automatic mode

MakomoJT

Hello
I have a code that is getting coordinates from MATLAB for a pick and place operation. I switched to continous mode on the controller, I run the codes from MATLAB and coordinates are given to the robot but the robot does that one cycle alone. When new coordinates are found and sent, the robot is nolonger moving to the object, neither are the new coordinates written on the flex pendant. I request help on why it is not going continuously. Below is the code:

MODULE Module1

CONST robtarget home:=[[234.80,469.37,226.34],[0.0195519,-0.951851,0.0534726,-0.301227],[-1,0,-3,1],[9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09]];

CONST robtarget home_2:=[[234.80,475.28,226.35],[0.0194946,-0.95184,0.0535081,-0.301259],[-1,0,-3,1],[9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09]];

So there are no errors?  One very useful debug strategy is to use the step forward button, you can see line by line how the logic is being evaluated, what data values are changing.

You can change between single cycle and continuous Run Mode on the Flexpendant:


There is also a system parameter that determines which run mode to use when switching between auto/manual modes, see "3.13.1 The Run Mode Settings type" in the Technical reference manual -System parameters document.
