Running a Program

Chapter 7

7-2

When the MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION LOCK is made active, the
control displays M-, second auxiliary functions (B-codes), S-, and T-codes

in the part program and activates the corresponding Tool Wear Offset,

except for M00, M01, M02, M30, M98, M99, and M100-M199.

M100-M199 are process synchronization codes for dual-process systems.

To activate the MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION LOCK feature, your

system installer may have installed a switch corresponding to the

MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION LOCK feature (refer to documentation

prepared by your system installer), or use the

{FRONT PANEL}

softkey

(chapter 3.3).

Use this feature to cause automatic program execution to stop after a
specified block. This block is determined by assigning its sequence

number (N-word) as the sequence stop block. This sequence number may

be entered before or after part program execution begins. If this sequence

number is entered after program execution begins, it must be entered

before the control has executed that block. If it is not entered before the

block is executed, it is ignored and execution continues as normal.

Automatic execution stops after the sequence stop block is completed. The

control is placed in cycle stop. To resume execution from the current

position in the program, press the

<CYCLE START>

button.

Important: Once you enter a sequence stop number for a program, it

remains active for all programs that are executed until it is replaced with a

different sequence stop number, or power is lost. Not entering a value for

the sequence stop number or entering a value of zero results in the

sequence stop function being canceled.

If you call a subprogram or macro that also contains a sequence number

that corresponds to the sequence stop number, program execution stops in

the subprogram or macro at the corresponding sequence number.

To enter a sequence number to stop execution:

1.

Press the

{PRGRAM MANAGE}

softkey. A program must already have

been selected for automatic execution as described in chapter 7.
