Part programs
1.1.2 Execution
Part-programs stored anywhere may be executed or simulated.
The user customizing programs must be in RAM memory so the CNC can execute them.
The GOTO and RPT instructions cannot be used in programs that are executed from a PC connected
through the serial line.
Only subroutines stored in the CNC's RAM memory can be executed. Therefore, to execute a
subroutine stored in a PC or in the hard disk, it must be copied into the CNC's RAM memory.
From a program in execution, it is possible to execute another program located in RAM memory,
in a PC or in the hard disk using the EXEC instruction.
Execution of high level instruction EXEC
A part program may be executed using the number or the name of the program.
Part program execution using the number:
When using the program number, the program needs to be in the PRG folder of the hard disk.
Example:
(EXEC P1234, HD)
Program execution using the name of the program:
When using the name of the program, the program needs NOT be in the same PRG folder of the
hard disk. In this case, the path must be specified. Also, the name of the program (including the path)
must be between quotation marks.
The following characters may be used to indicate the path:
If the path is not specified, it will be HD:/PRG by default.
The high level instruction RPT cannot be used with programs identified with letters.
./
It indicates that the program that contains the EXEC is in the same folder.
../
It indicates that the program that contains the EXEC is in a folder at a higher level.
../../
Writing ../ several times means that it is that number of levels up. In this case, it would
be two levels up.
