Hi,

I’m having a problem running the program continuously in PROC main ( ). When the controller is switched to Automatic Mode it executes the program in the PROC main ( ) but it stops after the program finishes and does not run continuously as it should.

Is the run mode (middle of RAPID tab) in continuous?
