Running a Program
Chapter 7

A message is generated telling the operator to check that all generated
modal codes are correct. This message reads “WARNING - VERIFY
MODAL CODES”. These modal codes should be checked on the G- or
M-code status screen.
The control begins program execution from the selected block when you
press the
<CYCLE START> button. If you have pressed the {EXIT & MOVE}
button the control first executes the generated block to place the wheel at
the proper location. If you do not want the control to execute this
generated block you can perform a block reset to abort the generated block.
Program interrupts that are enabled in blocks prior to the searched block
(M96L__P__), are active and available for execution once the active
program begins execution. Interrupts can not be executed while the
mid-program search operation is taking place.
After a program is written or loaded into the control, it should be
thoroughly tested before a part is mounted and ground. The control offers
three distinct testing modes in addition to fully automatic operation.
These modes are briefly described below in the order that they would
normally be implemented.
QuickCheck (see page 7-18) ---- This mode is a basic syntax checker for
a part program. It checks that proper format and syntax have been
followed. If you purchase QuickCheck with the graphic option, you can
use it to determine if the proper paths are being generated (see page
8-24 for QuickCheck graphics). QuickCheck does not produce actual
axis motion; however, it does perform offsets and coordinate system
shifts.
Axis Inhibit (see page 7-20) ---- The axis inhibit mode allows the
execution of a program to take place without moving a selected axis or
axes. Programmed feedrates are active and the program executes in
approximately the same time as normal program execution. Axis motion
is simulated for any of the non-moving axes by all of the position
displays changing at the programmed feedrate. Graphics are available on
the active program graphics screen, see page 8-24 for details.
Dry Run (see page 7-21) ---- Dry run simply replaces all F word
feedrates in a program with a special feedrate determined by your
system installer in AMP. Graphics are available on the active program
graphics screen, see page 8-24 for details.
Part Production/Automatic (see page 7-22) ---- In automatic mode, all
of the axes are active and all of the programmed feedrates are in effect.
