1.1 Part programs
The operating manual describes the different operating modes. Refer to that manual for further
information.
Editing a part-program
To create a part-program, access the –Edit– mode.
The new part-program edited is stored in the CNC's RAM memory. A copy of the part-programs may
be stored in the hard disk (KeyCF) at a PC connected through the serial line or in the USB disk.
To transmit a program to a PC through the serial, proceed as follows:
1. Execute the "WinDNC.exe" application program at the PC.
2. Activate DNC communications at the CNC.
3. Select the work directory at the CNC. It is selected from the –Utilities– mode, option Directory
\Serial L \Change directory
In –Edit– mode, it is possible to modify part-programs residing in the CNC's RAM memory. To modify
a program stored in the hard disk (KeyCF), in a PC or in the USB disk, it must be previously copied
into RAM memory.
Executing and editing a part-program
Part-programs stored anywhere may be executed or simulated. Simulation is carried out in the
–Simulation– mode, whereas the execution is done in the –Automatic– mode
When executing or simulating a part-program, bear in mind the following points:
• Only subroutines stored in the CNC's RAM memory can be executed. Therefore, to execute a
subroutine stored in the hard disk (KeyCF), in a PC or in the USB disk, it must be first copied
into the CNC's RAM memory.
• The GOTO and RPT instructions cannot be used in programs that are executed from a PC
connected through the serial line.
• From a program in execution, it is possible to execute another program located in RAM memory,
in the hard disk (KeyCF) or in a PC using the EXEC instruction.
The user customizing programs must be in RAM memory so the CNC can execute them.
–Utilities– operating mode.
The –Utilities– mode, lets display the part-program directory of all the devices, make copies, delete,
rename and even set the protections for any of them.
