8. DATA INPUT/OUTPUT

OPERATION

B-63534EN/02

File format and error messages

Format

All files that are read from and written to a memory card are of text format.

The format is described below.

A file starts with % or LF, followed by the actual data. A file always ends

with %. In a read operation, data between the first % and the next LF is

skipped. Each block ends with an LF, not a semicolon (;).

⋅

LF: 0A (hexadecimal) of ASCII code

⋅

When a file containing lowercase letters, kana characters, and several

special characters (such as $, \, and !) is read, those letters and

characters are ignored.

Example:

O0001(MEMORY CARD SAMPLE FILE)

G17 G49 G97

G92 X-11.3 Y2.33

⋅

M30

⋅

ASCII code is used for input/output, regardless of the setting

parameter (ISO/EIA).

⋅

Bit 3 of parameter No. 0100 can be used to specify whether the end of

block code (EOB) is output as ”LF” only, or as ”LF, CR, CR.”

Error messages

If an error occurs during memory card input/output, a corresponding error

message is displayed.

automatically deleted before NC program input.

[Example of use]

When a file with the file name O0001.DAT held on the hard disk

embedded to the host computer is to be input to the CNC memory, enter

O001.DAT. Note, however, that the O number input to the CNC memory

depends on the O number described in the file named O0001.DAT.
