File and Program Management
3.1 Program memory
Creating workpiece directories on an external PC
The steps described below are performed on an external data station. Please refer to your
Operator's Guide for file and program management (from PC to control system) directly on
the control.
;$PATH statement
The destination path $PATH=... is specified within the second line of the file.
Example:
;$PATH=/_N_WKS_DIR/_N_SHAFT_WPD
The file is stored at the specified path.
Note
If the path is missing, files of file type SPF are stored in /_N_SPF_DIR, files with extension
_INI in the working memory and all other files in /_N_MPF_DIR.
Example with the path for the previous example:
SHAFT: _/N_WELLE_MPF is stored in /_N_WKS_DIR/_N_WELLE_WPD
%_N_SHAFT_MPF
;$PATH=/_N_WKS_DIR/_N_SHAFT_WPD
N40 G0 X... Z...
•
M2
SHAFT: _/N_WELLE_SPF is stored in /_N_SPF_DIR
•
%_N_SHAFT_SPF
•
M17
Select workpiece for machining
A workpiece directory can be selected for execution in a channel. If a main program with the
same name or only a single main program (MPF) is stored in this directory, this is
automatically selected for execution.
Example:
The workpiece directory /_N_WKS_DIR/_N_SHAFT_WPD contains the files _N_SHAFT_SPF
and _N_SHAFT_MPF.
