Ees - Execution From External Storage (Nc Extend) - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Manual

General information on workpiece production

2.4.3 EES - Execution from External Storage (NC Extend)

Using function EES - Execution from External Storage (as of SW 4.7 SP2) you can call and
execute part programs by the NC directly from all connected data storage devices (e.g. local
drive, PCU50, USB global and at the TCU, network). The behavior is the same as that for
processing from the NC part program memory without the restrictions that apply to "processing
external".
With this function, there is practically no longer a restriction regarding the part program size. This
is only limited by the capacity of the external data storage. There is a standard syntax for all
subprogram calls, independent of where the subprogram is archived. Program compensation for
NC stop is possible.
The EES function makes EXTCALL calls superfluous. If required, existing EXTCALL calls
can be converted.
Syntax example for a call with/without option EES
Without EES
