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.
