5.3 Initial Operation and user programming in CNC-mode
Creating user programs for 4-axis-controller iMC-S8 is realized with the software
PALPC.exe
. The implementation method is simple and described in “/2/ PAL-PC
programming instruction“:
Analyze technological problem definition:
Layout program algorithm (solve problem definition)
Implementation of the control algorithm into a PALPC source program *.ppc; edit
code with text editor
Compile PALPC source file with PALPC compiler; on faultless translation an
output file *.out is created by the compiler
Download output file *.out into the flash memory of 1-axis-controller MC1
Start program and check control behavior regarding technological problem
definition
5.3.1 Install programming software PALPC.exe
To install PALPC software do the following:
1. Insert PALPC 2.1 installation medium (delivered CD or USB stick) with the control
computer.
2. Following Auto-start-window will be shown (when installing from CD):
If Auto-Start-window is not shown start the Windows Explorer and
open the root directory of the CD/DVD- or USB-drive. Double click on
the file “Autorun.exe“.
