You can execute programs stored on external data media directly via
the RS-232 interface, i.e. it is not necessary to read in these programs
before you can machine a workpiece with them.
If a program needs more memory space for execution than is
available in the NC main memory, for example, the program contents
are continuously loaded via the RS-232 interface.
The RS-232 interface of the control and the external data medium
must be compatible, i.e. you must make the same settings for each
RS-232 interface.
Open the Program Manager.
Select the "Continue" and "Execute RS-232" softkeys.
Press the "RS-232 settings" softkey to set up the interface.
Enter the desired settings.
Press the "Back" softkey.
The settings for the interface are saved.
On the partner system, select the program that you want to
execute.
Start the transfer on the partner system.
Press "Start" softkey.
ShopMill switches to "Machine Auto" mode and uploads part of the
program.
Then press the "Cycle Start" key.
Workpiece machining is initiated (see also Sec. "Automatic mode").
The program contents are loaded continuously to the NC main
memory while the program is being processed. When the program
has been executed via the RS-232 interface, the program remains
stored on the external medium.
