The most common use for continuous motion is in dispensing applications, or when "MOVE L" commands are being used. Below is an example line of code on how to use the continuous motion.
MOVE L, P10, CONT 'Move linearly to point 10 without waiting for the moving axes to arrive in the tolerance range
MOVE L, P11, CONT 'Move linearly to point 11 without waiting for the moving axes to arrive in the tolerance range
The continuous movement looks at 3 parameters within the controller to change how it behaves. It looks at the "Out position", the "Tolerance", and "CONT pulse." When using the CONT move once the robot reaches the OUT Position range the robot will begin to arc towards the next point in the path. Increasing the "Out position" will increase the rounding of corners. The CONT move also disregards the tolerance range set. When not moving with continuous moves the robot has to enter into the tolerance range before it can begin to arch to the next point in the bath. The document attached shows a visual example of how the CONT move works.
