PROGRAM EXECUTION
This CNC offers 2 program execution modes. The Automatic mode to run the whole
program all the way through the last block and the Single Block mode to run it block by
block requiring the pressing of the
key to execute each block.
Press
to select the "Single-Block" mode.
Press
to select the "Automatic" mode.
Depending on the setting of machine parameter "P23(3)", the execution will be either
Automatic, "P23(3)=0", or Semi-automatic, "P23(3)=1".
When operating in Semi-automatic mode, whenever the CNC runs into a block which
contains a movement, it interrupts the program execution and waits for the
key to
be pressed or for the external Cycle Start input to be activated (pin 17 of connector I/O1)
before resuming the execution of the program..
All three operating modes, Single Block, Fully Automatic and Semi-Automatic, are
described next.
5.1 PROGRAM EXECUTION
To execute a program, follow these steps:
1.- Select the desired operating mode, Single Block or Automatic.
2.- To select the first program block do the following:
* Press [CL] twice to clear both displays.
* Enter the desired block number.
* Press [RECALL].
3.- Press
or activate the external Cycle Start input, pin 17 of connector I/O1, to
begin running the program.
4.- During the execution of the program, it is possible to vary the feedrate of the axes by
using the external operator panel "JOG100" or, when not available, the "Feedrate
override" inputs (pins 10 and 11 of connector I/O1).
While the program is running, it is also possible to change the execution mode from
Automatic to Single-Block and vice versa.
