Selection
Use the cursor keys to select the workpiece
in the workpiece overview and then
press the "Selection" softkey.
Cycle Start
• If only one main program (MPF) exists in this directory, it is
automatically selected for execution. If the directory contains
several main programs, the main program with the same name as
the directory is automatically selected for execution (e.g. if you
select workpiece SHAFT.WPD main program SHAFT.MPF is
automatically selected).
The program name is output along with workpiece information in
the "Program name" window at the top right.
You can start the part program you have selected by pressing the
"NC Start" key.
• If an INI file of the same name exists (e.g., SHAFT.INI), it will be
executed once at the first part program start after selection of the
part program. Any additional INI files are executed in accordance
with machine data 11280 $MN_WPD_INI_MODE.
Selection
When you select workpiece directory SHAFT.WPD you implicitly select
program SHAFT.
If a .JOB file with the same name is stored in the workpiece
directory, it is executed immediately.
See also Chapter "Job list" and "Sequence of operations" "Executing
job list".
Find path for program
call
If the call path is not explicitly specified in the part program when a
subprogram (or an initialization file) is called, the called program is
located according to the predefined search strategy.
Case 1: When a subprogram is called by
name with specification of the data type ("identifier" or "extension"),
e.g. SHAFT1.MPF
the system searches through the directories in the following sequence:
1. Current directory / name.type Workpiece/standard
directory MPF.DIR
2. /SPF.DIR / name.type Global subprograms
