Description:

Initiates a command to load a plate from bay <bay #> onto the drum. All necessary steps (pick, load, etc) will be executed in turn. This is a high level command which does more error checking. Plates in the way of the one to be loaded (eg., an exposed plate on the drum) will be unloaded before the new one is loaded.

If there is an active plate in the way of the new plate, then this command will queue up the required steps to load the new plate. For example, if there is an active plate on the drum, then the new plate will be picked, but not loaded. The load will be queued up, waiting for the plate on the drum to be unloaded with a "plot unload" command.

If there is a suspend error during the loading of the plate, the "plot resume" or "plot clear" commands must be used instead of the reguler "resume" or "clear" commands.

This command is only available on Thermal machines.
