FANUC Run Command Parallel Processing

Adam with FANUC introduces the concept of parallel processing, demonstrating how FANUC robots can run multiple programs and tasks simultaneously without interrupting the main motion. Using the 'Horizontal' motion program and a light-flashing 'Blink' program as examples, Adam shows that a standard 'CALL' instruction causes the robot to stop while the sub-program executes. To achieve true parallel operation, he reveals a two-part solution: first, the 'Blink' program is removed from the motion group (Group 1) in the program details, and second, the 'CALL' instruction is replaced with the 'RUN' command from the multiple control options. This allows non-motion tasks—such as firing a vision camera, sending status updates, or other I/O control—to run concurrently, ensuring the robot's production speed is never compromised.
