Creating a Joblist

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 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>
● <Channel number>
● [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.
