8.2.2 Editing a program in the 8055 CNC language
Part-programs may be edited in the CNC's own language and in the 8055 language. The
8055 CNC programming language is enabled at the part-program editor using the
"Customize" softkey of the horizontal menu. Within this option, activate the softkey of the
8055 editor. When this option is deactivated, the CNC always works with its own language.
Even when this option is active, programs may also be edited in the CNC language. The CNC
assumes one or the other language depending on the name assigned to the part-program.
Once a programming language has been selected, it does not admit instructions of the other
language; i. e. Both languages cannot be cobined in the same part-program.
Even when this option is active, it is possible to edit and execute part-programs at the CNC
that have been written in the 8055 CNC language. The CNC does not allow executing
instructions of the 8055 CNC from the MDI mode.
Editing a program in the 8055 CNC language
Having set the editor to accept the syntax of the 8055 CNC, the CNC assumes that this
language will be used in the following cases. In the rest of the cases, the CNC interprets that
the 8055 CNC language will not be used and assumes its own syntax.
• When the program name has the extension
pit (lathe program) or pim (mill program).
These are the native extensions of the 8055 CNC.
• When the program name is a number with no more than 6 digits (999999) like the program
names at the 8055 CNC. In these cases, the CNC automatically adds the extension
pim
(for a mill) or pit (for a lathe).
Once the program has been opened, edit it using the 8055 CNC language; the CNC will not
admit instructions of the CNC.
Program editing limitations
It is not possible to program calls to subroutines that are contained in other programs.
The syntax check is not available for programs written in 8055 CNC language. The softkey
to run the syntax check of the program will be disabled.
Executing and simulating a program edited in the 8055 CNC
language
To execute or simulate a program written in the 8055 CNC language (those with extensions
pim or pit ), the CNC converts it into its own language. The CNC always simulates and
executes the converted program, which is also the one shown on the screen during the
execution.
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.
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.
The conversion of the part-program
The CNC keeps both programs; the one written in 8055 format (the one edited) and its
equivalent translated. 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
The program is only converted one; the first time that is simulated or the first time that the
program is selected in automatic mode.
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.
