Automatic block building
10.2.10.1
Creating automated program blocks
With the "Automatic block building" function, you have a convenient option to automatically
split an existing program subsequently into the desired blocks.
Rules for creating the blocks
You define the rules for creating the blocks in the configuration file.
You can define the following program steps for better processing:
● Combine the tools used in the program into blocks
● Define cycle types
– A main block opens a new block at the top level. The block itself is entered as first
block in the block. The replacement text from the configuration file is taken as block
text.
– A subblock is inserted in the currently opened block of a main block. Blocks that are
not classified by the configuration file are combined in one block at the second block
level. This block contains the block text "Free DIN code".
– Two levels are available for the block building to structure the program.
Note
The automatic block building can only b
e performed once.
If you use the function a second time, a message is displayed that no blocks can be inserted
as some already exist.
In order to create blocks in the already converted program, use the "Build block" softkey in
the editor.
