Creating a job list

For every workpiece, you can create a job list for extended workpiece selection.
In the job list, you specify instructions for program selection in different channels.
Syntax
The job list contains the SELECT instructions.
SELECT <program> CH=<channel number> [DISK]
The SELECT instruction selects a program for execution in a specific NC channel. The selected
program must be loaded into the working memory of the NC. The DISK parameter enables the
selection of external execution (CF card, USB data carrier, network drive).
• <Program>
Absolute or relative path specification of the program to be selected.
Examples:
– //NC/WCS.DIR/SHAFT.WPD/SHAFT1.MPF
– SHAFT2.MPF
• <Channel number>
Number of the NC channel in which the program is to be selected.
Example:
CH=2
• [DISK]
Optional parameter for programs that are not in the NC memory and are to be executed
"externally".
Example:
SELECT //remote/myshare/shaft3.mpf CH=1 DISK
Comment
Comments are identified in the job list by ";" at the start of the line or by round brackets.
Template
You can select a template from Siemens or the machine manufacturer when creating a new job
list.
Executing a workpiece
If the "Select" softkey is selected for a workpiece, the syntax of the associated job list is checked
and then executed. The cursor can also be placed on the job list for selection.
