6.2.9 Running a program via the RS-232 interface
You can execute programs stored on external data media directly via
the RS-232 interface, i.e. it is not necessary to read in these programs
before you can machine a workpiece with them.
If a program needs more memory space for execution than is
available in the NC main memory, for example, the program contents
are continuously loaded via the RS-232 interface.
The RS-232 interface of the control and the external data medium
must be compatible, i.e. you must make the same settings for each
RS-232 interface.

The program contents are loaded continuously to the NC main
memory while the program is being processed. When the program
has been executed via the RS-232 interface, the program remains
stored on the external medium.
