Running a Program

Chapter 7

CAUTION: When you exit a program restart operation (search

with memory), M- and S-codes are sent to PAL. If, during

normal execution, that program activated a spindle,

mid-program start may also start it.

Press the

{EXIT}

softkey if the block selected is the block to begin

program execution from. If it not the desired block, it will be

necessary to disable the program or perform a search with memory

operation to locate the desired block manually.

(softkey level 3)

EXIT

When the

{CYCLE START}

button is pressed the control resumes program

execution from the block selected with the program re-start feature.

Use the jog retract feature to allow for inspection or change of the cutting
tool during automatic program execution. It allows the cutting tool to be

jogged from the workpiece in multiple steps, and then returned to the

workpiece automatically by having the control retrace the jogging steps

that were used.

The control remembers up to 15 jog retract moves. The actual number of

moves retained can vary from 0 to 15 as determined by an AMP parameter

set by your system installer. The control returns the tool along the jog

retract path at a feedrate specified in AMP.

Important: If the same axis is used in succession during a jog retract

operation, the control assumes that only one jog retract move has been

executed on that axis.

Only simple single axes jog moves can be performed during the jog retract

function. You cannot perform multiple axis jogs, arbitrary angle jogs and

jogging offset.

Tool offsets can be changed at any time during jog retract. See page

NO TAG. The control does not make these offsets active until the

execution of the first block after the tool has been returned from jog

retract.
