Here is an example of how the PST would be used with a program. Pallet 2 is scheduled to be processed first followed by Pallet 4 and then Pallet 3. Pallet 1 is not scheduled. Program number O 04990 will be run on the part on Pallet 2 Here is some of the sample Code: O 0001 M 50 (Pallet Change to next scheduled pallet) G 188 (Calls the parts program based on the PST entry for the Pallet) M 99 (Loop to top of main program) O 01245 (Part Program for pallet 3). . . M 46 Q 3 P 300 (Jump to line 300 in the current program if pallet 3 is loaded) M 99 (Return from subroutine)

Here is another example of how the PST would be used with a program. In this sample, Pallet 1 is not scheduled, Pallet 2 is the next scheduled, Pallet 3 is currently loaded, and Pallet 4 is complete. The following code shows some other options: O 0001 (Main program). . . P 46 Q 2 P 200 (Program will jump to line 200 if Pallet 2 is loaded) P 46 Q 3 P 300 (Program will jump to line 300 if Pallet 3 is loaded) P 46 Q 4 P 400 (Program will jump to line 400 if Pallet 4 is loaded). . . N 300 M 49 Q 5 (Sets status of Pallet 3 to the string in #5, e. g. ”LAST PALLET”)

M-CODES • • These are M-codes • that are • used with the Pallet Scheduler. • • • M 14 - Move APC Table to pallet 1 load position M 15 - Move APC Table to pallet 2 load position M 36 - Flash “Pallet Ready” Light M 46 Qn Pmm - Jump to line mm in current program if pallet n is loaded, otherwise go to the next block. M 48 - Validate that current program is correct for loaded pallet. M 49 Pn Qmm - Sets the status of pallet n to value of mm. If no P, then this effects current pallet. M 50 - Pallet Change M 50 Pn - Load pallet n M 90 - Unload pallet
