What functionality does play mode provide?

Play mode is primarily designed to control the execution of jobs or tasks that have been programmed into the system. When the system is in play mode, it executes the pre-defined sequences or processes without allowing for any changes or alterations to the program itself. This functionality is crucial for ensuring that tasks are carried out in a consistent manner, as it adheres strictly to the instructions laid out in the programming.

During play mode, users can observe or monitor the execution but are not able to modify programming options, access system settings, or manually adjust controls like servos, which are typically managed in a different mode. This separation of functionalities ensures that the integrity of the programmed behaviors is maintained, allowing for reliable operation in environments where precision is key.
