Processing a part program
10.3.1
Program mode and part program selection
Definition
Program mode applies if a part program is processed in the AUTOMATIC mode or program
blocks are processed in the MDA mode.
Channel control
The Program mode can be controlled even while being executed via interface signals from
the PLC. These can be either mode groupspecific or channelspecific interface signals.
The channel reports its current program operation status to the PLC with interface signals.
Selection
A part program can be selected only if the relevant channel is in the Reset state.
The part program can be selected via:
●
operator input (Machine operating area) / Program manager
●
the PLC
–
Selection of a program via the program number in "Program list" (see Manual
"Operation and Programming...", Chapter "System")
–
Reselection of an active program via the PLC-HMI interface (see Section "Signals
from HMI to PLC (A2)")
10.3.2
Start of part program or part program block
START command, channel status
The channel-specific IS "NC start" (V3200 0007.1), which is usually controlled from the
machine control panel key "NC Start", starts program processing.
The START command can only be executed in AUTOMATIC and MDA modes. For this
purpose, the channel must be in the "Channel status reset" (V3300 0003.7) or "Channel
status interrupted" (V3300 0003.6).
