Configuration file
16.10 Configuration file
The configuration file is a CNC file written in high-level language (configuration language) that
describes the operating characteristics of the various screen elements.
There is a configuration file for each screen. P999001 corresponds to screen 001, P999002 to 002
and so on up to P999200 that corresponds to screen 200.
The general characteristics of the configuration language are:
• All instructions are preceded by ";" and enclosed in parenthesis.
• The comments must be alone and preceded by ";;"
• The configuration file must begin with the line ";(PRGSCRIPT 1)"
It indicates that it is a configuration file corresponding to the version being used (in this case "1").
• The configuration file should end with the line ";(END)"
• It is recommended to use the ";(DEBUG)" instruction for the CNC to check the configuration file.
If an error occurs, it will log it in program 999500.
The configuration language has the following key words:
;(PRGSCRIPT 1)
Header of the configuration file and version used to edit it (in this case "1"). It must always be defined.
;(DEBUG)
It is optional. It indicates on which line program 999500 starts giving out information of the errors
that have come up when debugging the configuration file.
The debugging of the configuration file begins on the first line ;(PRGSCRIPT 1) and ends on the
;(END) line.
;(DISABLE 1)
It indicates that the blue frame at the top right must not be displayed; it shows the current status
of the machine (coordinates and machining conditions).
;(DISABLE 20)
It indicates that the "CYCLE START" icon must not be displayed when pressing [ESC].
To exit the screen, press [ESC] twice. The first time, it displays the "CYCLE START" icon at the top
right of the screen offering the chance to either execute or simulate the associated program.
Some screens are merely informative and no associated program must be executed.
In these cases, it is recommended to program ;(DISABLE20) to exit the screen when press [ESC].
;(DISABLE 21)
It indicates that the spindle is not to be stopped at the end of the cycle.
By default, if ;(DISABLE21) is not programmed, the CNC adds the M5 instruction at the end of the
associated program to stop the spindle at the end of the cycle.
;(HOTKEY W4,88)
It permits associating a key to the (W) data.
In this case, pressing the X key (ASCII value 88) selects the W4 data.
