11. PROGRAM COMMAND
1499
The macro executor function converts custom macros created by machine
tool builders to executable programs, registers them in the flash ROM
module, and executes them to solve problems as described below.
NC programs are divided into two types: Programs that are hardly
modified after created (programs created using custom macros) and
programs that differ depending on the workpiece (machining programs).
Since different types of programs are processed in the same way, a custom
macro may be destroyed due to a battery failure or operator error.
Features
(1) Since the program is stored in executable form program, the execution
speed is high. Machine time is then reduced, and precision is
improved.
(2) Since the program is stored in FLASH ROM, there is no lost of data of
battery failure or corruption. Reliability is improved.
(3) The stored program is not displayed on a program screen.
(4) The custom macro is stored in FLASH ROM.
(5) The user can call the macro without knowing the stored program. A
custom macro can be created and executed in the program edit
memory.
(6) An original screen can be created by using the graphic display or by
selecting screens by the soft key. The machine tool builder can extend
the control function by using such functions as machine program
creation and edit control, reader/punch interface control, and PMC
data read/write functions.
NOTE
1 When the macro executor is active, the order-made macro
cannot be specified.
2 The macro executor requires the graphic display option, to
display graphics.
