Inputting and Outputting a Program

8.2.1.1

Inputting a program

The following explains how to input a program from an external
device to the memory of the CNC by using the program editing screen
or program folder screen.

Inputting a program (for 7.2/8.4/10.4-inch display unit)

Procedure

Make sure the input device is ready for reading.

2 Press the function key

to display the program editing

screen or program folder screen.

Press the EDIT switch on the machine operator’s panel or enter
state emergency stop.

Press the soft key [(OPRT)].

5 Press the continuous menu key

until soft key [READ]

appears.
Press the soft key [READ].

Type the name of the file that you want to input.
Press the soft key [F SET]. To specify the program name to input,
type the program name and press the soft key [P SET].
If the input file name is omitted, default input file name
“ALL-PROG.TXT” is assumed.
For an explanation of the operations to be performed if an input
file name [F SET] and an input program name [P SET] are
omitted, see the table below.

Press the soft key [EXEC].
This starts reading the program, and “INPUT” blinks in the lower
right part of the screen. When the read operation ends, the
“INPUT” indication disappears.
To cancel the input of the program, press the soft key [CAN].

Once read, the program is registered in the currently selected
foreground folder.

NOTE

Foreground folders are displayed on the program
folder screen. For an explanation of foreground
folders, see II-12.1.3, and for how to change
foreground folders, see III-11.6

8.2.1.2

Outputting a program

A program stored in the memory of the CNC unit is output to an
external device.

Outputting a program (for 7.2/8.4/10.4-inch display unit)

Procedure

Make sure the output device is ready for output.

2 Press the function key

to display the program editing

screen or program folder screen.

Press the EDIT switch on the machine operator’s panel or enter

Inputting and Outputting Parameters

8.2.2.1

Inputting parameters

Parameters are loaded into the memory of the CNC unit from an
external device. The input format is the same as the output format.
When a parameter is loaded which has the same data number as a
parameter already registered in the memory, the loaded parameter
replaces the existing parameter.
