4.3.8 Executing a program in 8055 MC/TC language.
A program edited in 8055 MC/TC language may be executed at the CNCin two ways.
• Keep the program extension (.pim or .pit) and enable at the editor the compatibility with
8055 programs. Before executing or simulation the program, the CNC translates
(converts) it. The CNC always simulates and executes the converted program, which is
also the one shown on the screen during the execution.
• Change the program extension (.pim or .pit) or disable at the editor the compatibility with
8055 programs. In either case, the CNC tries to execute the program as if it were in its
own language. The CNC will interpret the programmed canned cycles (PCALL
instructions), but it will issue an error message if there is any instruction in 8055 language.
The conversion of the part-program.
The CNC translates the program is only converted one; the first time it simulates the program
or the first time that it selects the program in automatic mode. The CNC keeps both programs;
the one written in 8055 format (the one edited) and its equivalent translated. If when selecting
the program, a file with extension .pit or .pim is selected, the CNC opens the converted file
and displays it on the screen. The converted (translated) program is saved in the following
folder with the same name but with the extension m55 (milling program) or t55 (lathe
program).
C:\Cnc8070\Users\Prg\PRG_8055_TO_8070
When modifying the program edited in the 8055 CNC language, the CNC converts it again.
When modifying the converted program, the CNC does not update the one written in 8055
CNC language.
If any error occurs during execution, the CNC will display the block that caused it. The block
will be in the language of the CNC, but it will be easily identified due to the translation format.
Considerations for program execution.
• The tool offsets programmed in 8055 language are always interpreted as D1 at the CNC.
• At the 8055 MC, 3D pockets are defined in several files (plane profile and depth profiles).
Only import into the CNC the file generated by the cycle editor which already contains
the geometry of all the profiles. The name of the filel will be 995###.pim, where ### is
the value of the CAJ.3D field on the editing page of the cycle.
• Some cycles of the 8055 TC are not available at the CNC, such as the Y-axis cycles
(profiles, rectangular pockets, circular pockets and 2D pockets in the YZ and XY planes)
and the rectangular, circular and 2D pockets in the ZC and XC planes. The CNC will also
execute these cycles even if they are not available at the cycle editor.
• If the 8055 program contains work zones, when executing the original program (.pim or
.pit) without translating, the CNC will issue an error message because they are missing
at the CNC. When executing the translated program (.m55 or .t55), the CNC will ignore
the work zones and will not issue any error message.
• To change a program in 8055 language by adding blocks in the CNC's own language,
you need to change the extension of the file (.pim or .pit) to prevent the translator
(converter) from issuing an error.
• The CNC accepts numerical block labels (N9999) in 8055 format, programmed in RPT
and GOTO instructions, but it can only find them if there are in blocks after the calling
instruction. If the block is in a previous line, it must have the format of the CNC label adding
the ":" character.
