Operator Panel can be switched to each of these screens at any time.
(1) Program Execution screen

(4) System History screen
(5) Application screen
(1) Program Execution screen
This screen displays various robot states (e.g. Emergency Stop, Safety Door, etc.).
When the robot controller can be started up from the Operator Panel*, the program
selection, program startup and shutdown, and reset from Emergency Stop and error
state can be performed.

(2) Task Monitor screen
This screen is for monitoring task states. If you confirm the current state of each task,
you can gain hints as to which signal the robot is waiting for (i.e. why the robot has
stopped when it has stopped due to a signal standby).
(3) I/O Monitor screen
This screen is for monitoring the I/O input, I/O output and memory I/O states. If you
confirm these signals, you can gain hints for specifying the cause when the robot has
stopped due to a signal or interlock standby.
(4) System History screen
This screen displays the past system history (errors, warnings, and events) that is saved
on the controller.
(5) Application screen
This screen provides the robot application programs and operator interface. The
application program can be displayed on this screen by executing the Print command in
the application program. Data can be input from this screen by executing the Input
command in the application program.
