What distinguishes AUT (automatic) mode from other modes?

In automatic mode, the system operates independently without continuous manual input, focusing on executing pre-programmed tasks. One key distinction is that jog mode is typically disabled in this mode, which prevents the operator from making manual adjustments or fine-tuning the movement of the machinery during operation. This ensures that the system follows the exact programmed path and timing, fostering a reliable and consistent execution of tasks without interference.

In configuring these modes, considerations like safety and compliance with operational standards are paramount, necessitating the exclusion of manual intervention. This significantly differs from modes that allow manual adjustments or require operator involvement, thus emphasizing the importance of automation in achieving efficiency and performance in complex tasks.
