Operating sequence
1 The TNC executes the part program up to the block in which a
subprogram is called with CALL LBL.
2 The subprogram is then executed from beginning to end. The
subprogram end is marked LBL 0.
3 The TNC then resumes the part program from the block after the
subprogram call.
Programming notes
„ A main program can contain up to 254 subprograms.
„ You can call subprograms in any sequence and as often as desired.
„ A subprogram cannot call itself.
„ Write subprograms at the end of the main program (behind the block
with M2 or M30).
„
If subprograms are located before the block with M02 or M30, they
will be executed at least once even if they are not called.
