9.2.3 Executing a G-code program from the USB-network-drive
If the capacity of your NCK work memory is already close to being
exhausted, you can also have G-code programs executed from the
USB/network-drives (e.g. memory stick).
In this way, instead of the entire G-code program being loaded into
the NCK memory, only the first part of it is loaded. Subsequent
program blocks are then continuously reloaded as the first part is
executed.
The G-code program remains stored on the USB/network-drive while
executing from it.
Sequential control programs cannot be executed from the
USB/network-drive.
îš¾ Open the Program Manager.
…
îš¾ Via the softkey, select the USB/network-drive or local USB
connection.
îš¾ Place the cursor on the directory that contains the G code
program you want to execute.
-or-
îš¾ Press the "Input" or "Cursor right" key.
The directory opens.
îš¾ Place the cursor on the G code program you want to execute.
Continue
>
Exec. from
hard disk
îš¾ Select the "Continue" and "Exec. from hard disc" softkeys.
ShopTurn now switches to "Machine Auto" mode and loads the G-
code program.
Cycle Start
îš¾ Press the "Cycle Start" key.
The machining of the workpiece is started (see Sec. "Machining a
workpiece".) The program contents are continuously reloaded into the
NCK work memory as the machining progresses.
