3.3 Blockwise Transfer: Executing Long Programs
Part programs that occupy more memory than the TNC provides can be
“drip fed” block by block from an external storage device.
During program run, the TNC transfers program blocks from a floppy disk
unit or PC through its data interface, and erases them after execution. This
frees memory space for new blocks.
To prepare for blockwise transfer:
• Prepare the data interface.
• Configure the data interface with the MOD function (see page 11-3).
• If you wish to transfer a part program from a PC, adapt the TNC and PC
to each other (see pages 10-4 and 12-2).
• Ensure that the transferred program meets the following requirements:
- The highest block number must not exceed 65534. However, the
block numbers can repeat themselves as often as necessary.
- All programs called from the transferred program must be present in
TNC memory
- The transferred program must not contain:
Subprograms
Program section repetitions
Digitizing cycles (TOUCH PROBE 5.0 to 7.0)
The function FN 15:PRINT
- The TNC can store up to 20 TOOL DEF blocks.
