28.1 READER/PUNCHER INTERFACES
The following can be input/output via the reader/punch interface.
- Part program registration/output
- Tool offset amount, work zero point offset amount, input/output
- Tool life management data input
- Custom macro common variable input/output
- Pitch error compensation data input/output
- Parameter punch input/output
Usually, the screen is switched according to the type of data to be
input from or output to an external device; for example, a parameter
screen is used for parameter input/output, and a program screen is
used for program input/output. However, a single RS-232C screen
can be used to input and output programs, parameters, offset data, and
macro variables.
The following Input/Output devices are prepared, which are
connectable to the reader/puncher interface.
