3.2.3 Influencing ”AUTOMATIC” operation

Using the softkey functions in this display, you can load files from the diskette into the NC as
well as create, extend or delete them on the diskette (remote operation functions). Besides
that you can call for the directory of the diskette (“DIRECTORY”).
The "Data type" field indicates the program currently being transmitted via the RS232C (V.24)
interface.

Remote operation functions:

The remote operation functions are used for program saving and program management on
diskettes and they support the preparations for program sequencing (OPS). They are designed
in such a way that the ordering principle required for OPS
"1 file = 1 main program + an unlimited number of subroutines" and
"file name = main program name"
must inevitably be adhered to.

This means: When a main program is transferred, a new file with the same name is opened
on the diskette and when subroutines are transferred, they are appended to an existing file.

The same general rule applies to all remote operation functions: First fill in the input
fields required, then press the softkey for the desired function.

Creating a new file:

NEW
FILE

Using the "NEW FILE" softkey, you open the NC-xxxx file (xxxx = 4-digit
number) on diskette.
The main program "%xxxx" is transferred from the NC part program
memory into this file on diskette.

You can only enter the file number, the main program number is
automatically set to the same value. Entering subroutine numbers is not
affected by this.

Note:
If there already exists a file with the same name on the diskette, an
error message is given by the disk drive unit and the command is not exe-
cuted (see also Section 4.6, Alarm 33 “Different programs same No.
(RS232C (V.24))”).

Example: File = 10

The file NC-0010 is opened on diskette, the %10
main program is transferred from the NC part
program memory into this file.
