2.1.12 Set-up workpieces with job lists
Requirements
The option "multiple channel sequential programming" and a multiple channel machine with
20 channels are prerequisites. An offline mode is possible; the channels cannot be checked
in this case.
Function
The templates for work pieces offer a simple possibility of creating new program sequences
in the form of workpieces with job lists. These templates can be adapted for an existing
workpiece.
In the program operating area, a workpiece is processed using "Edit workpiece." If no joblist,
part program or DAT file with the workpiece name exists, an error message appears stating
that the workpiece cannot be opened. If an automatic adaptation of the workpieces is
activated by an entry in the MMC.INI file, an attempt is made to finish the workpiece instead
of an error message.
Parameterizing
The following parameters must be specified in the [Program] section in the MMC.INI file:
[Program]
; 1=finished workpiece via workpiece template,
; if cannot be opened with MCSP (default)
; 0=outputs an error message:
; UpdateWorkpiecesBasedOnTemplates=1
There is only one workpiece template under templates with JOB/DAT file. The contents of
this template are then automatically copied into the selected workpiece. Files that already
exist in the current workpiece are not overwritten. If a JOB/DAT file with the workpiece name
exists after this, the sequence editor is opened, otherwise an error message appears.
If there are several workpiece templates under templates with JOB/DAT files, a "Finish
workpiece" dialog appears which allows the desired workpiece template to be selected.
If a part program that does not contain an INIT instruction is selected when "Edit workpiece"
is activated, the "Finish workpiece" dialog is called up, which allows a selection to be made
from the JOB/DAT files (if available) under templates. If a JOB/DAT file is selected, it is
copied into the workpiece under the part program name and opened with this file of the
sequence editor. Workpiece templates are not offered at this point, but only when a
workpiece is selected.
The files and messages stating that the template files are already contained in the workpiece
are displayed in the log window.
