3.11 Program Management
MANUALplus differentiates between the following
program groups:
„ Cycle programs
„ ICP contours
„ DIN programs
„ DIN macros
Program information
„ Program number
The program number (1 to 8 characters) serves to
identify the program within a program group.
Completing zeros are part of the program number.
„ Program description
You can describe a program by a short text of up to
35 alphanumeric characters. This text is displayed in
the program list.
„ Date, time
The control stores the time the program was last
changed and displays this in "Sort by date."
„ Program length
With this information you can estimate the size of a
program. The program length is given in bytes. By
rule of thumb, one cycle or ICP contour element
needs about 165 bytes, and each character of a DIN
program or DIN macro takes up 1 byte.
