What are the three cycle selections available in the system?

• A. Step, Cycle, and Auto
• B. Manual, Auto, and Run
• C. Play, Pause, Stop
• D. Single, Double, Auto

Answer: (A)

Cycle selection controls how the controller runs a program: you can step through the cycles, run a single cycle, or execute automatically.

In Step mode, you advance one cycle at a time, which is perfect for debugging and verifying each move, timing, and position before letting the robot proceed. It gives you deliberate control over every step.

In Cycle mode, you run a complete cycle of the programmed sequence, which lets you quickly test how the whole cycle behaves without stepping through every instruction. It’s efficient for validating the flow and timing of a single pass.

In Auto mode, the program runs from start to finish automatically, typically repeating as configured, which is ideal for production where continuous operation is desired without manual intervention.

These three options—Step, Cycle, and Auto—cover the typical ways you would want to execute a robot program: fine-grained inspection, one full-cycle test, or full automatic operation.
