3 NC COMMAND
3-2
3-1-2 Control out, control in
The entire information in the area from Control Out “(” to Control In “)” will be ignored in regard to
machine control, while they will surely be displayed on the data display unit. Thus, this area can
be used to contain information which is not directly related to control.
The NC unit will enter the Control In status when power is turned on.
3-1-3 Optional block skip
Optional block skip is a function that selectively ignores that specific block within a machining
program which begins with the slash code “/” or slash & number code “/1” to “/9”.
Any block beginning with “/” will be ignored if the [BLOCK SKIP] menu function is set to ON, or
will be executed if the menu function is set to OFF.
3-1-4 Program end
M02, M30, M99, M998, M999 or % is used as program end code. If these commands exist in the
process of the programming, the machine will stop in that block.
3-1-5 Program file name
Program file is designated as directed below. The file names here serve as the work numbers to
be searched for in an automatic operation.
Assign a work number.
Any string of up to 32 characters can be used as a work number. For the use of numerals only,
however, the work number can be only up to eight digits (from 1 to 99999999).
Characters available are letters (capital and small: A to Z and a to z), numerals, and the following
symbols:
“+” “–” “_” and “.”
It should be noted here that no distinction is made between capital and small letters. That is, a
new program cannot be named “aBC” if a program with the name “ABC” already exists in the
storage area concerned. Moreover, the program name must not begin with a period (.).
The work number which is composed exclusively of numerals must begin with a numeral other
than zero. The leading zeros of the file name are always ignored.
Identification of an EIA/ISO program
All EIA/ISO programs must have this extension assigned.
