PROGRAM EDITING
Editing a program means the procedure to change a part of the program, already stored in
memory, into the most appropriate one to meet the intended operation, using the data entry keys,
soft-keys, and program edit keys.
<Alteration>
This operation is used to change a word in the program to a new word or block.
<Insertion>
This operation is used to insert a new word or block between words in the program.
<Deleting>
This operation is used to delete a block or word in the program.
Before deleting the data, make sure that the words, blocks, or programs to be deleted may
be deleted. Once the
(DELETE) key is pressed and the words, blocks, or programs
are deleted, there is no way to restore them.
<Cautions on editing a program>
1.
Before editing a program, select foreground or background editing.
Page D-1 (1-1) for foreground editing
Page D-2 (1-2) for background editing
2.
Program editing is possible only when the PANEL key-switch is placed in the
(PANEL/EDIT) position, program editing can be done.
3.
When a program is input in the foreground edit mode using the
(INSERT) key,
(ALTER) key, or
(DELETE) key, press the
(RESET) key after
completing program entry.
If the
(RESET) key is not pressed, the program input cannot be registered to the
memory.
WARNING
Always place the PANEL key-switch in the
(ON) or
(OFF) position
after completing program editing. Be aware that the program will be
updated if program editing operations are carried out with the PANEL key-
switch at the
(PANEL/EDIT) position. If the program is executed after
being accidentally updated in this way the machine could operate
unexpectedly, causing serious injuries or damage to the machine.
