1.1 OVERVIEW
MANUAL GUIDE 0
i
was developed to aid in the generation of part
programs for Series 0
i-MB control systems. A part program consists
of a set of machining instructions that the operator wants to execute.
A part program uses alphabetic text for its instructions and numeric
information as the target values for those instructions. In this way, a
CNC program can be developed as a series of instructions, each of
which performs a machining operation. Complex machining tasks can
be accomplished by combining machining operations.
Part program development can be difficult if the operator is not
familiar with the programming language used by the CNC. MANUAL
GUIDE 0
i
is a “lead-through” programming aid that helps the
operator to develop a CNC part program. MANUAL GUIDE 0
i
provides assistance as text and graphical information that is presented
on the CNC screen. The software prompts the user to enter data and
utilizes the user’s response to create a part program instruction.
MANUAL GUIDE 0
i
also allows users to edit existing part programs.
By highlighting the desired part program line, the user can make
changes in the same way that they originally developed the program.
On-line help is also available during program development or as a
handy programming reference.
There are two MANUAL GUIDE 0
i. Software series of them are as
follows.
1) MANUAL GUIDE 0i (Current version)
Series DX31, DX32
2) MANUAL GUIDE 0
i (Operation Improved version)
Series DX35, DX36
Improved items of MANUAL GUIDE 0
i (Operation Improved version)
are as follows.
1) MANUAL GUIDE 0
i (current version) is operated on CUSTOM screen.
But, MANUAL GUIDE 0
i (Operation Improved version) is operated
on CNC program screen. So, MANUAL GUIDE 0
i (Operation
Improved version) can be used with CNC program screen which has
the powerful edit function.
2) Guidance figures are displayed on each Menu screen. And, the menu
can be selected by depressing the soft key.
3) Plural figure blocks can be inputted continuously in canned cycle
programming.
