The control can save all of the information that is entered in the
interference tables as a backup. This is done by the control generating a

program consisting of G10 blocks. These G10 blocks contain the

boundary numbers and their respective interference boundary values. Any

time you run this program, the set of values contained in these G10 blocks

replaces the current values in the interference tables. See page 30-27 for

details on the format of this G10 program.

The interference table program can be saved in control memory as a

program, or it can be sent to a peripheral device. The interference tables

can be easily setup again by executing this program in the appropriate

process.

To back up the interference tables, follow these directions:
