Executing the pallet file

Select the file manager in the Program Run, Full Sequence or
Program Run, Single Block operating modes: Press the PGM MGT
key.

To display all type .P files, press the soft keys SELECT TYPE and
SHOW .P.

Select the pallet table with the arrow keys and confirm with ENT.

To execute the pallet table: Press the NC Start button. The TNC
executes the pallets as set in MP7683.

Screen layout for executing pallet tables

You can have the TNC display the program contents and pallet file
contents on the screen together by selecting the screen layout PGM
+ PALLET. During execution, the TNC then shows program blocks to
the left and the pallet to the right. To check the program contents
before execution, proceed as follows:

Select a pallet table.

With the arrow keys, choose the program you would like to check.

Press the OPEN PGM soft key: The TNC displays the selected
program on the screen. You can now page through the program with
the arrow keys.

To return to the pallet table, press the END PGM soft key.

MP7683 defines whether the pallet table is to be
executed blockwise or continuously.

Provided that MP7246 is set so that the tool usage test is
active, you can monitor the tool service life for all tools
used in a pallet (see “Tool usage test” on page 683).
