OCI Data Server CNC Commands

Publication 8520-6.6 - August 1999

MODIFYING_AMP (no argument)

Use this command to open patch AMP. You must send this
command before the control will allow you access to patch AMP
parameters. The control must be in E-STOP before this command is
issued.

For example:

[MODIFYING_AMP]

opens the AMP image on the control for editing.

RESTORE_AMP (no argument)

writes into RAM the AMP file currently stored in FLASH memory.
It is necessary to cycle power on the control when AMP is restored.
Use the command BACKUP_AMP to store an AMP file into flash.

TRANSFER_AMP_FROM_PORTA (no argument)

Use this command to restore an AMP configuration that was backed
up to a peripheral device attached to the control’s portA. This will
restore the AMP configuration to RAM.

For example:

[TRANSFER_AMP_FROM_PORTA]

reads the AMP configuration from the device connected to the
control’s port A. This command will overwrite the AMP file
currently in the control’s RAM. This will not affect the AMP
configuration stored in the control’s flash memory. It is necessary to
cycle power on the control when AMP is restored.

Use this command to restore into RAM the AMP file currently in
flash memory. This command will overwrite the AMP currently
residing in RAM. Refer to your AMP reference manual for details
on when and why AMP should be restored from flash.

For example:

[RESTORE_AMP]

Important: This command does not apply to the 9/PC CNC.
