Appendix 4 Registering/Editing the Fixed cycle Program
The subprogram for the fixed cycle can be input, output and edited.
CAUTION
Do not change the fixed cycle program without prior approval from the machine maker.
4.1 Fixed Cycle Operation Parameters
To input/output or edit the data of each fixed cycle subprogram, use the IN/OUT and EDIT screens in
the same way as when creating usual user-created work programs. In this case, the parameters must
have been set. Set "1" in parameter "#1166 fixpro" on the BASE SPEC. PARAM screen. If this
parameter is valid, the IN/OUT and EDIT screens are usable only for operating a fixed cycle control
subprogram. During this period, PROGRAM FILE displays only fixed cycle programs. Thus, after fixed
cycle program operation, return parameter to "0".
(Note) Parameter fixpro will be set to 0 when the power is turned OFF.
4.2 Inputting the Fixed Cycle Program
Input the fixed cycle program from the DATA INPUT screen. Before input, check that fixed cycle
operation parameter "#1166 fixpro" is valid.
The operating procedure is the same as a user machining program. It is desirable that the data can be
input consecutively.
After the data is registered, check proper registration on the PROGRAM FILE and EDIT screen.
4.3 Outputting the Fixed Cycle Program
Output the fixed cycle program on the DATA OUTPUT screen. Before output, check that fixed cycle
operation parameter "#1166 fixpro" is valid.
The operating procedure is the same as a user machining program. The registered fixed cycle
programs can be output one by one or at a time.
If the programs have been output at a time, they can be input consecutively by one operation.
After the data is output, be sure to collate it with the data on tape. At this time, make sure that there are
no data output mistakes (punch mistakes, etc.).
4.4 Erasing the Fixed Cycle Program
Erase the fixed cycle program on the PROGRAM ERASE screen. Before erasing, check that fixed
cycle operation parameter "#1166 fixpro" is valid.
The operating procedure is the same as a user machining program, except set 4 in # ( ) to designate
the fixed C program.
