Configure the initial command

You can control the way the step program is run after any of the following:

• the Sequencer object is deployed

• the attribute ExecutionStateCmd is set to Reset

• the attribute PrgSeqConfigCmd is set to Load and completes successfully

• the attribute PrgSeqConfigCmd is set to Upload and completes successfully

After deployment, resetting, loading or uploading, Sequencer can either

• run the program: Start

• not run the program: Stop

• run the program in RunningSingleStep mode: Single Step

• start the program but initially hold processing: Hold

  Note: At run time, the Program flow can be stopped and controlled in other ways. For more information, see Set initial and final steps.
