Workpiece main directory (_N_WKS_DIR)
The workpiece main directory exists in the standard setup of the program memory under the
name
_N_WKS_DIR. The workpiece main directory contains all the workpiece directories for the
workpieces that you have programmed.
Workpiece directories (..._WPD)
To make data and program handling more flexible certain data and programs can be
grouped together or stored in individual workpiece directories.
A workpiece directory contains all files required for machining a workpiece. These can be
main programs, subprograms, any initialization programs and comment files.
The first time a part program is started, initialization programs are executed once, depending
on the selected program (in accordance with machine data MD11280
$MN_WPD_INI_MODE).
