CAUTION
In the above example, the NC program is divided
into files so that any block is not divided. You can
divide a program at a point in a block. When
dividing a program at a point in a block, be careful
so that any unnecessary character is not inserted
at the end of each file.
If an unnecessary character is inserted at the end
of a file, the NC program may perform unexpected
operation when executed. Be very careful when
preparing and editing an NC program on the host
computer.
NOTE
1 Divide an NC program into files so that each file
size is about 20 to 30 MB. If the file size is too
large, it takes time until DNC operation starts. If the
file size is too small, data transmission may stop
between files and operation may stop.
2 Although you can divide an NC program at a point
in a block, divide the program in block units
whenever possible and retract the tool at the end
of each divided file. This prevents data
transmission from stopping at the end of a file and
cutter marking from being made.
3 Store the file list and relevant divided files in the
same directory on the same host computer.
