18.1 SETTING A MAXIMUM PROGRAM SIZE THAT CAN BE
HANDLED
In parameter No. 14795, specify a maximum allowable memory size
to be used for program management.
Parameter
<1> No.14795#4 = 0 & No.14795#5 = 0
Set the maximum allowable program size to 250K bytes.
<2> No.14795#4 = 1 & No.14795#5 = 0
Set the maximum allowable program size to 500K bytes.
<3> No.14795#4 = 0 & No.14795#5 = 1
Set the maximum allowable program size to 1M bytes.
<4> No.14795#4 = 1 & No.14795#5 = 1
Set the maximum allowable program size to 2M bytes.
* A size of 200K bytes represents about 100,000 characters (4,000
blocks) when one block consists of 25 characters on average.
CAUTION
To specify a maximum allowable memory size
greater than 250K bytes in parameter No. 14795,
set an appropriate value in parameter No. 8781
(DRAM size that can be used by a C language
application).
To increase the DRAM size, the custom capacity
option is separately required.
* If the DRAM size is increased by 1M bytes by
using parameter No. 8781, about 500,000
characters (about 20,000 blocks) can be
increased as a guideline when one block consists
of 25 characters on average.
Restrictions
<1> If a large program is selected, the time required for switching
from the NC screen to MGi screen increases.
<2> If a large program is selected, a longer time is required to move
the program cursor as the program number increases.
