11. PROGRAM COMMAND
1363
In this function, the macro programs, which are made by the machine tool
builder (MTB), are stored in flash ROM. The macro programs, which are
stored in flash ROM, are loaded to the program memory area for the
embedded macro (DRAM) when the power supply is turned on. And an
operator can call the macro programs from the CNC programs in a usual
tape storage memory area. The macro programs on DRAM can be edited
as well as a usual CNC program. It is possible to store the edited macro
programs to flash ROM (FROM) by softkey operation. And it is possible
to prohibit editing the embedded macro programs by an arbitrary
password setting.
Normally, all CNC programs are stored in the tape storage memory area.
Therefore, the capacity of the program, which an operator can use,
decreases when the programs made by the MTB are large size. The MTB
can make the programs without decreasing the capacity of the user
program because the macro programs made by MTB are stored in another
tape storage memory area by this function. (The macro programs that are
corresponding to 225m in tape storage length can be registered.) And
because the macro programs are stored in flash ROM, the macro programs
are not deleted by the miss–operation etc. such as mistaken all clear
operation.
