Searching the program
While in MDI, EDIT or MEM mode, the cursor up and down keys can be used to search the program for specific
codes or text. To search for particular character(s), enter the character(s) on the data entry line (i.e. G40) and
press the cursor up or down keys. The cursor up key will search for the entered item backwards (towards the start
of the program) and the cursor down key will search forward (towards the end of the program).
Deleting Programs
To delete a program, press LIST PROG. Use the cursor up or down keys to highlight the program number (or type
in the program number) and press the ERASE PROG key.
Highlighting ALL at the end of the list and pressing the ERASE PROG key will delete all the programs in the list.
There are some important programs that are included with the machine; they are O02020 (spindle warm up) and
O09997, O09999 (Visual Quick Code). Save these programs to a floppy disk, or PC before erasing all programs.
Note: The UNDO key will not recover programs that are deleted.
Renaming Programs
The program number can be changed by entering a new number, in Edit mode and pressing the Alter button.
Another method of changing the program name is to enter the list of programs (press List Prog) cursor to the
program, type the letter “O” followed by a five-digit number, such as O12345, and press the Alter button.
Maximum Number of Programs
If the maximum number of programs (500) is in the control’s memory, the message “DIR FULL” will display and the
program 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, an asterisk (“*”) 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 that you will see 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 computer (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.
USB
The USB memory device is plugged into the port and the directory is shown in the Program menu of the control.
The Haas control incorporates a device manager which shows the available memory devices on the machine.
Enter the Device Manager, by pressing “List Prog”. The screen has two windows; the Device window, on the left,
and the Directory window, on the right. The left and right arrows change between the Device and the Directory
windows. The Up and Down arrows scroll through the selections in the active window.
Pressing “Enter” selects the highlighted program. There is no need to press “Enter” in the Device column.
