OPERATIONB–63664EN/02 8. DATA INPUT/OUTPUT
571
The value of a custom macro common variable (#500 to #999) is loaded
into the memory of the CNC from a floppy or NC tape. The same format
used to output custom macro common variables is used for input. See
III–8.7.2. For a custom macro common variable to be valid, the input data
must be executed by pressing the cycle start button after data is input.
When the value of a common variable is loaded into memory, this value
replaces the value of the same common variable already existing (if any)
in memory.
Inputting custom macro common variables
1 Register the program which has been output, as described in Section
III–8.7.2, in memory according to the program input procedure
described in Section III–8.4.1.
2 Press the MEMORY switch on the machine operator’s panel upon
completing input.
3 Press the cycle start button to execute the loaded program.
4 Display the macro vriable screen to check whether the values of the
common variables have been set correctly.

The common variables #500 to #531 can be input and output. (When the
option is added as the common variables, #500 to #999 can be input and
output.)
When the option for adding a common variable is specified, values from
#500 to #999 can be input and output. #100 to #149 (When the option is
added as the common variables, #100 to #199 can be input and output.)
can be input and output when bit 3 (PV5) of parameter No. 6001 is set to
1.
