11. PROGRAM COMMAND

There are two types of NC programs; those which, rarely changed, and
those that changed with every execution. These programs are created by
the custom macro.
The custom macro is an executable form of a part program created by a
machine tool builder that is stored in the CNC’s flash ROM. It is executed
from the flash ROM.
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
When the macro executor is active, the order-made macro
cannot be specified.
