1.13 Program coordination (INIT, START, WAITM, WAITMC, WAITE, SETM, CLEARM)
: Predefined procedure for selecting the NC program that is to be processed in the
specified channel
:
<channel no.>
<path specification>
<acknowledgement mode>
: Predefined procedure to start the selected programs in the other channels
<channel no.>,...
Number of channel
Type: INT
: An absolute or relative path to the NC program
Type: STRING
Absolute path specification:
An absolute path must be formed along the following
pattern:
Current directory/_N_<name>_MPF
 "Current directory" stands for the selected
workpiece directory or the standard directory
/_N_MPF_DIR.
 The complete program name must be specified.
Relative path specification:
The same rules apply to relative path specification as
for program calls.
: Parameters of the type CHAR
Values: "N"
"S"
Note:
If the acknowledgement mode is not specified,
synchronous acknowledgement is the default
response.
: Enumeration of the channel numbers
Type: INT
Flexible NC programming
Without acknowledgement
Program execution is continued
when the command has been
transmitted. The sender is not
informed if the command cannot
be executed successfully.
Synchronous acknowledgement
The program execution is paused
until the receiving component
acknowledges the command. If
the acknowledgement is positive,
the next command is executed. If
the acknowledgement is negative,
an error message is output.
