Input monitoring while the program is running

ollitap

I have IRC5. I want to monitor inputs and set output while the robot is running its program. How do I multitask?  I have a PLC that I am utilizing. I also want the robot to stop when the light curtain is broken.

There is a system output for program executing.  Read the system parameter manual for that.  You must have the multitasking option in order to use multitasking.  A light curtain ought to be wired into the panel board auto stop circuit.  It is a dual channel circuit.  You can probably find that in the manual for IRC5 electrical diagrams or something like that.
