When ”Working from external” or from the hard disk, the part program is read into a circular
buffer which executes the program at the same time. The circular buffer is part of the part
program memory. The size of the circular buffer is defined in NC MD 30 as number sectors
(1 sector = 507 bytes).

If the specified sectors are not available to the circular buffer on NC Start (either occupied by
part programs or part program memory too small), the circular buffer is reduced to the
maximum possible number of sectors by the control.

If processing is to take place from more than 1 interface, an appropriate area is reserved for
each of these interfaces.
