there is no Y/N prompt and the program will be immediately deleted.
Select ALL at the end of the list and press the ERASE PROG key to delete all
the programs in the list. There are some important programs that are included
with the machine; they are O02020 (spindle warm up), O09997 (Visual Quick
Code), and O09876 (engraving font file). Save these programs to a memory
device or PC before erasing all programs. Turn on Setting 23 to protect
O09XXX programs from deletion.
NOTE: The UNDO key will not recover programs that are deleted.
Renaming Programs
A program number can be changed by entering a new number in Edit mode
and pressing the Alter button. Take care not to accidentally overwrite important
programs such as those listed in the previous section.
Maximum Number of Programs
If the maximum number of programs (500) is in the control’s memory, the mes
-
sage “DIR FULL” will display and new programs cannot be created.
Program Selection
Enter the program directory by pressing “List Prog”; this will display the stored
programs. Scroll to the desired program and press “Select Prog” to select
the program. Entering the program name and pressing “Select Prog” will also
select a program.
Once “Select Prog” is pressed, the letter “A” appears next to the program
name. This is the program that will be run when the mode is changed to MEM
and CYCLE START is pressed. It is also the one displayed on the EDIT display.
When in MEM mode, another program can selected and displayed quickly by
entering the program number (Onnnnn) and pressing the Up/Down arrow, or
F4
.
The selected program will remain selected after the machine is turned off.
Loading Programs to the CNC Control
Numbered programs can be copied from the CNC control to a personal com-
puter (PC) and back again. It is best if the programs are saved to a file that
ends in “.txt”. That way, they will be recognized by any PC as a simple text file.
Programs can be transferred by many different methods such as USB, RS-
232 and floppy disk. Settings, offsets and macro variables can be transferred
between the CNC and a PC in a similar manner.
Corrupted program data, if received by the CNC, is converted into a comment,
stored in the program, and an alarm is generated. However, the data will still be
loaded in to the control.
