11. PROGRAM COMMAND

There are two types of NC programs; those which, once created, are
scarcely changed, and those which are changed for each machining type.
The former are programs created by the custom macro, and the latter are
machining programs. If programs of these types are executed
simultaneously, a battery may run out or the custom macro may be
destroyed by error operation.
Such problems can be solved by this function. The custom macro created
by a machine tool builder is converted to an execute-form program, be
stored in the FLASH ROM module, and be executed.
Features
(1) Since the program is stored after converted to an execute-form
program, the execution speed is high. The machining time is then
reduced, and the precision is improved.
(2) Since the program is stored in FLASH ROM, there is no problem of
battery extinction or custom macro destruction by error operation.
The reliability is improved.
(3) Since the stored program is not displayed on a program screen, the
know-how of the machine tool builder is protected.
(4) Since the custom macro is stored in FLASH ROM, the program edit
memory can be used efficiently.
(5) The user can call the macro easily without knowing the stored
program. A custom macro can be created and executed in the program
edit memory as usual.
(6) An original screen can be created by using the graphic display or
selecting screens by the soft key. The machine tool builder can extend
the control function by using such functions as machining program
creation and edit control, reader/punch interface control, and PMC
data read/write functions.
