DATA INPUT/OUTPUT
input from or output to an external input/output unit, while the program

Among the files numbered from 1 to 9999, a specified file is found.
D N-9999
The file immediately after that used most recently is found.
D N-9998
When -9998 is specified, the next file is found. Then, each time
a file input/output operation is performed, N-9999 is automatically
inserted. This means that subsequent files can be sequentially
found automatically.
This state is canceled by specifying N0, N1 to N9999, or N-9999,
or upon a reset.

OPERATION
8. DATA INPUT/OUTPUT
Explanations
D Difference between N0
When a file already exists in a cassette or card, specifying N0 or N1 has
and N1
the same effect. If N1 is specified when there is no file on the cassette or
card, an alarm is issued because the first file cannot be found. Specifying
N0 places the head at the start of the cassette or card, regardless of whether
the cassette/card already contains files. So, no alarm is issued in this case.
N0 can be used, for example, when a program is written into a new
cassette or card, or when a previously used cassette or card is used once
all the files it contains have been erased.
D Alarm issue during file
If an alarm (file search failure, for example) is generated during file
search
search, the CNC does not issue an alarm immediately. However, a P/S
alarm (No. 086) is issued if input/output is subsequently performed on
that file.
D File search using N-9999
Instead of sequentially searching for files by specifying actual file
numbers every time, the user can specify the first file number, then find
the subsequent files by specifying N-9999. When N-9999 is specified,
the time required for file search can be reduced.

NOTE
If the saved data and CNC system onto which the saved
data is to be loaded do not satisfy the conditions described
below, an error message is displayed in the message field,
and loading is disabled. Note, however, that in selective
loading, even if the CNC system structure differs from that
