2.3.Converting an Excel sheet to a memory card file
Guidance tables on an Excel sheet is need to be converted to a memory card file which
CNC can reads. A procedure of conversion is as follows.
A procedure of conversion
(1) Finish to making both guidance tables (1) and (2), and then push [Convert] button on a
guidance table (1).
- In PC, a sub folder (directory) named "GUIDEDAT" is made in the folder where an
Excel sheet is installed. And text type files are made in this sub folder.
(2) Execute "TXT2MEM.BAT" at MS-DOS prompt. "TXT2MEM.BAT" is also installed in
the same folder as an Excel sheet.
Ex.) In case that an Excel sheet is installed in a folder "D:\FLOW\"
Type "TXT2MEM" and push an enter key.
D:\FLOW>TXT2MEM[Enter]
(3) A file named "GUIE_USR.MEM" (for English) or "GUIJ_USR.MEM" (for Japanese) is
made in the same folder as an Excel sheet.
(4) Load "GUIE_USR.MEM" or "GUIJ_USR.MEM" into a CNC via a memory card by the
boot function. Then it is possible to diagnose the machine alarms.
It is possible to load both of "GUIE_USR.MEM" and "GUIJ_USR.MEM". In this case
one of them can be selected by a parameter JPN (No.13110#0). When this parameter
is set, power must be powered off.
When only one of them is loaded, loaded file is available irrespective of a parameter
JPN (No.13110#0).
