Block Skip
Any block preceded by a slash (/) code is omitted if the corresponding
block skip 'switch' is set "ON" in the program, previous to the (/) code.
The switch is set on by programming variable #1000 to the value of "1".
A value of "0" sets the switch "OFF".
block skip 'switch' is set "ON" in the program, previous to the (/) code.
The switch is set on by programming variable #1000 to the value of "1".
A value of "0" sets the switch "OFF".
In this example, the hole at N15 is skipped. If N11 read:
N11#1000 = 0
Then N15 would be executed.
The (/) slash code can be placed anywhere in the block, provided it
does not exclude code necessary to complete that operation. It is
recommended the (/) code be used as shown above.
