A program stored in the memory of the CNC unit is output to a floppy or
NC tape.
Outputting a program
1 Make sure the output device is ready for output.
When using the Power Mate i–D2, select a path whose programs are
to be output, with the path selection switch or MDI keyboard.
2 To output to an controller tape, specify the punch code system (ISO or
EIA) using a parameter.
3 Press the EDIT switch on the machine operator’s panel.
4 Press function key
PROG
, then the program contents display screen or
program check screen appears.
5 Press soft key [(OPRT)].
6 Press the rightmost soft key (next–menu key).
7 Enter address O.
8 Enter a program number. If –9999 is entered, all programs stored in
memory are output.
To output multiple programs at one time, enter a range as follows :
O∆∆∆∆,Ojjjj
Programs No.∆∆∆∆ to No.jjjj are output.
When bit 4 (SOR) of parameter No.3107 is set to 1 for sorted display
on the program library screen, the programs are output in ascending
order of program numbers.
9 Press soft keys [PUNCH] and [EXEC]
The specified program is output. If steps 7 and 8 are omitted, the
currently selected program is output.
When output is conducted to the floppy, the program is output as the new
file after the files existing in the floppy. New files are to be written from
the beginning with making the old files invalid, use the above output
operation after the N0 head searching.
When P/S alarm 86 occurs during program output, the floppy is restored
to the condition before the output.
When program output is conducted after N1 to N9999 head searching, the
new file is output as the designated n–th position. In this case, 1 to n–1
files are effective, but the files after the old n–th one are deleted. If an
alarm occurs during output, only the 1 to n–1 files are restored.
To efficiently use the memory in the cassette or card, output the program
by setting parameter NFD (No.0101#7, No.0111#7 or No.0121#7) to 1.
This parameter makes the feed is not output, utilizing the memory
efficiently.
