General Information about Machining Programs

The structure of the machining program generally corresponds to a subset of the representation
described inDIN66025, The programs consist of a sequence of ASCI I characters with a maxi-
mum length of 1023 characters.
Machining programs are packaged by COM247 in data blocks in keeping with the STEP 5 repre-
sentation, The blocks are distinguished by their data block number. A data block generated by
chining program header by COM247 as the machining program number. Numbers 0...255 are
possible.
For more information about machining programs, refer to Section 2,6 "Machining Programs and
their Structure".
Machining programs can be generated in two methods of representation:
representation according to DIN 66025
representation in text mode
It is also possible to generate machining programs using TEACH-1 N. The test mode of COM247
provides the necessary support. (See also Section 5.8 "Test" or Section 4.3.4 "Teach-in On/Off").

Generating Machining Programs

If you select "MACHINING PROGRAM" in the data block selection display, specify the block num-
ber and press one of the function keys <FI>...<F3>, the first display for machining programs
is output. The destination device (I P247, PG, FD) is now fixed and cannot be changed for this
input.
In the following machining program displays examples of data for machining programs have
been entered, The destination device is the drive (FD) selected in the presets display, The data is
stored in the set file as DB1 55.
