1 Introduction 9 1 Introduction 1.1 The Part Program The Part Program is a set of instructions that can be interpreted by the control system in order to control the operation of the machine. The Part Program consists of blocks which, in turn, comprise words. Word : Address and Data Each word is made up of two parts - an address and a data. The addr[...]

1 Introduction 10 Block A block is made up of words. The blocks are separated by characters s ( L ine F eed) in the memory. The use of a block number is not mandatory in the blocks. To distinguish the end of block from the beginning of another block on the screen, each new block begins in a new line, with a character > placed in front of it, in [...]

1 Introduction 11 return from the sub-program to the calling program. DNC Channel A program contained in an external unit (e.g., in a computer) can also be executed without storing it in the control's memory. Now the control will read the program, instead of the memory, from the external data medium through the RS232C interface. That link is r[...]

1 Introduction 12 Fig. 1.2 -1 Fig. 1.2 -2 Fig. 1.2 -3 1.2 Fundamental Terms The Interpolation The control system can move the tool along straight lines and arcs in the course of mach- ining.

1 Introduction 13 Fig. 1.2 -4 Fig. 1.2 -5 Reference Point The reference point is a fixed point on the machine-tool. After power-on of the machine, the slides have to be moved to the reference point.

1 Introduction 14 Fig. 1.2 -6 Fig. 1.2 -7 Absolute Coordinate Specification When absolute coordinates are specified, the tool travels a distance measured from the origin of the coordinate system, i.e., to a point whose position has been specified by the coordinates.

1 Introduction 15 Fig. 1.2 -8 the code of G90 (absolute data specification) and the value of F (Feed), specified in block N15, will be modal in blocks N16 and N17. Thus it is not necessary to specify those functions in each block followed. One-shot (Non-modal) Functions Some codes or values are effective only in the block in which they are specifie[...]

1 Introduction 16 Fig. 1.2 -9 Cutter Radius Compensation Machining a workpiece has to be done with tools of different radii.
