Mid-program startup (block scan)

With the RESTORE POS. AT feature (block scan) you can start a part
program at any block you desire. The TNC scans the program blocks
up to that point. Machining can be graphically simulated.

If you have interrupted a part program with an INTERNAL STOP, the
TNC automatically offers the interrupted block N for mid-program
startup.

The RESTORE POS AT feature must be enabled and
adapted by the machine tool builder. Refer to your
machine manual.

Mid-program startup must not begin in a subprogram.

All necessary programs, tables and pallet files must be
selected in a Program Run mode of operation (status M).

If the program contains a programmed interruption before
the startup block, the block scan is interrupted. Press the
machine START button to continue the block scan.

User requests are not possible during mid-program
startup.

After a block scan, return the tool to the calculated position
with RESTORE POSITION.

Tool length compensation does not take effect until after
the tool call and a following positioning block. This applies
if you have only changed the tool length.

The TNC skips all touch probe cycles in a mid-program
startup. Result parameters that are written to from these
cycles might therefore remain empty.
