4. PROGRAM EDITING
This CNC offers three program editing modes as described in this chapter and they are:
Regular editing. Press to access this mode.
Teach-in editing. Press to access this mode.
Play-back editing. Press to access this mode.
4.1 EDITING MODE
Press to access this operating mode. The CNC will display the following type of
information:
The upper display shows the number of the block
currently selected.
The lower display shows the functions programmed
in this block.
The CNC memory may store up to 900 part-program
blocks (000/899).
A program starts at a specific block and it ends at the one containing the M30 function
indicating the end of the program.
Each block may have up to 5 ISO-coded functions. These functions may be:
G Preparatory functions. Up to a maximum of 4 per block.
X X axis coordinates
Y Y axis coordinates
I Arc center's X coordinate of a circular interpolation.
J Arc center's Y coordinate of a circular interpolation.
F Feedrate of the axes.
S Spindle speed (r.p.m).
T Tool number of zero offset.
M Auxiliary functions. Up to a maximum of 4 per block.
N Jump or Call functions (G25 through G29).
P Parametric programming.
When using parametric programming, the block cannot have any more ISO-coded data.
The parametric programming may use the following functions:
X Assign the X axis coordinate value to a parameter.
Y Assign the Y axis coordinate value to a parameter.
F Parametric function.
P Reference to another parameter.
K Assign a constant value to a parameter.
E Assign the status of inputs E1 to E5 (of connector I/O1) to a parameter.
