13.13 MACRO COMPILER/MACRO EXECUTER
Overview
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
- Since the program is stored in executable form program, the
execution speed is high. Machine time is then reduced, and
precision is improved.
- Since the program is stored in FLASH ROM, there is no lost of
data of battery failure or corruption. Reliability is improved.
- The stored program is not displayed on a program screen.
- The custom macro is stored in FLASH ROM.
- The user can call the macro without knowing the stored program.
A custom macro can be created and executed in the program edit
memory.
- 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
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.
