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

lected a workpiece directory in the NC memory.
