5.4 Random Line

Scanning mode

Before running program, the system scans all modal information above a

random line. The specified line inherits the coordinates, tool

compensation and other information of the previous lines. There are two

scanning modes: scanning without Z axis return, scanning with Z axis

return. If the program is large, it may take a long time for scanning the

modal information. Sub program scanning is supported.

Non-scanning mode

The system does not compute the previous modal information of a

random line. The mode is the default system status.

Parameter settings

Parameter settings related to random line operations:



040113: The order of axis motion for random line.

Parameter No.

Example:

….

M30

When 040113=1, and the random line is specified as N1; only X/Y

axes are moved.

When 040113=2, and the random line is specified as N1; X/Y/Z

axes are moved.



040114: The order of axis motion for random line.

5. Program Editing and Management

The relationship between the parameter value and axis is as below:

The value from 1 to 9 corresponds the axis X/Y/Z/A/B/C/U/V/W

respectively. The 0 indicates that the axis is not configured.

For milling machines, when 040114=211, firstly the X/Y axes move

in place, and then the Z axis moves.

For lathe machines, when 040114=101, the X/Z axes move in place

simultaneously.

 For channel parameters 040115-040124, M code group can be

identified by random line.

The type is BYTE[8], supporting up to eight numbers, which must

be separate by the "," or "." symbol.

Only the M command in parameters can be restored. Therefore, a

maximum of 10 M command groups is supported, and each group

has eight M codes.

For example: Set M command group 1 to 3, 4, 5, which indicates

that M3/M4/M5 are in the same group.

Attention

For the M commands of the same group obtained in the scanning

mode, only the last M command is valid.

For the T commands obtained in the scanning mode, only the last T

command is valid for lathe machines.

5.8 Craft File

Craft file is used to provide the operator with auxiliary information about

Craft file display and management

processing. Craft file and G-code files are matched and bound via

filename. After loading G code, you may browse the craft file which

matches the G code to know the craft flow.

Design craft file

You should finish the craft file when creating G codes.

The craft file uses

24-bit bmp pictures with color

790*440

resolution.

The craft file is associated with the program, so the craft file is

named as the main program name (removing 'O' or 'o' from the

name) plus the craft file number (0 to 9).

Example 1: If the main program name is "OA347F.nc", then the

craft file name should be "A347F_0.bmp" to "A347F_9.bmp".

Example 2: If the main program name is "oWErt6", then the craft

file name should be "WErt6_0.bmp" to "WErt6_9.bmp".

Note: The suffix of the .bmp file is lowercase of "bmp".

A program can have up to 10 craft files.

Transmit craft files to the CNC

After the G code file of the main program is transmitted from the host

system

computer to the CNC device, the craft file is also transmitted from the

host computer to the CNC device.

Attention: The craft file and main program file are in the same directory.

Example: The main program is transmitted to the prog directory, and the

craft file is also transmitted to the prog directory.

The main program is transmitted to the 123 folder under the prog

directory, and the craft file is also transmitted to the 123 folder under the

prog directory.
