Parameters can be saved in CNC memory or a memory card as a data file
of program format. Specify the first digit of the registration program
number in parameter 8760. Programs with predetermined numbers are
created for individual slaves. When the parameters are saved in CNC
memory, a program having the specified program number is created.
When the parameters are saved in a memory card, a file is created, to
which the file name consists of the specified program number and an
extension PMM.
Example: When parameter 8760 is set to 8000
The program number for group n is 8000 + n*10.
The group number n is indicated in the title area of each slave.
CAUTION
In case that the parameters are saved in a memory card, If
the specified program number already exists on memory
card, the corresponding program is overwritten with new
data.
Specify a desired input device in the MD1 and MD2 bits (bits 1 and 2 of
parameter 960). Connect a memory card. Alternatively, check the free
