The programs in this directory are protected. This means:
they are processed the same as unprotected programs
the blocks of protected programs are not displayed during program
execution unless you have access to the {CHANGE DIR} softkey (in place
of the protected program blocks, the last user non-protected
programming block is displayed)
you can cycle stop during program execution (but you cannot single
block through a program)
5.10.1
Protected program encryption and decryption allow you to encrypt a
Protected Program Encryption
protected program so that it is unreadable when it is uploaded. Protected
and Decryption
programs in encrypted form can only be uploaded or downloaded by using
the Upload and Download utilities of ODS or the Mini DNC package.
Use the {NCRYPT MODE} softkey to enable the protected program
encryption option. If the control displays the {NCRYPT MODE} softkey in
reverse video, the encryption option is enabled. When the encryption
option is enabled, protected programs are encrypted when they are
uploaded to ODS or the Mini DNC package. When downloading
encrypted protected programs to the control, they are decrypted and loaded
into the protected program directory.
Protected programs are encrypted or decrypted through a translation
process that reads in a program and translates the characters one at a time
to another character. Character translation is based on a character
encryption/decryption table that you must set-up before programs can be
encrypted or decrypted.
Important: If the encryption/decryption table is modified after a protected
program is uploaded to ODS or the Mini DNC package, the program can
no longer be decrypted when it is downloaded to the control.

Use the Offline Development System (ODS) to write or edit part programs.
Once you complete these part programs, downloaded them from the
workstation to the control. Programs that already exist on the control can
be uploaded to the workstation for editing or backup. You can edit
programs on ODS by using the screen or text editor that is configured in
ODS. You can purchase enhancements to this feature in a Mini-DNC
package from Allen-Bradley. If you have purchased the Mini-DNC
package, see its accompanying documentation.
We make these assumptions:
ODS has been installed on an IBM PC XT/AT or compatible computer
that we refer to as the workstation
a compatible screen or text editor has been configured using the Text
Editor Setup option of the F5-Configuration menu
the programmer understands the basics of the ODS system and how it
operates
For additional information, see the ODS manual, publication MCD-5.1.
Important: Be aware that some features described here may not be
available with your ODS. Some may require the purchase of the
Mini-DNC package to be functional.

integration/maintenance manual, chapter 4).
Use cable CN25 to connect the RS-232 interface port on the rear of the
workstation to Port B (CN16F) on the control or the RS-232 port on the
storage device. For information about connecting the workstation to a
storage device, see chapter 12 in the integration manual.
When downloading to a control with MTB panel, which has a serial
communication port located on the front left side of the panel, connect the
serial interface cable #25 to the serial communication port. This port is
connected to port B on the control.
You must configure Port B for serial communication. The serial
communication parameters of this port must correspond to the serial
communication parameters of the workstation or storage device.
To display the serial communication parameters of port B, press the
{SYSTEM SUPORT} softkey on the operator panel, then the {DEVICE
SETUP} softkey.
If the port A parameters are displayed, use the left or right arrows on the
operator panel to change the display from port A to port B parameters.
Make sure the DEVICE configured on this screen for port B is ODS. If it
is not configured for ODS, see chapter 9 for details on configuring
communication parameters. Once the DEVICE type of ODS is configured,
the default parameters should work for most PC applications.
If the serial communication parameters of port B do not correspond to the
serial communication parameters of the workstation, refer to programming
manual.

The following subsections describe some of the functions available on the

Selecting Special Running
these “special running conditions” is optional. They are activated either
Conditions
through the MTB panel, through programming, through the
{FRONT PANEL} softkey, or some combination of the three.
7.1.1
When programming a slash “/” followed by a numeric value (1-9)
anywhere in a block, the control skips (does not execute) all remaining
Block Delete
programmed commands in that block if a corresponding softkey or
optionally installed switch on the MTB panel is activated. If the “block
delete type” parameter in AMP is set to “delete whole,” then the entire
block is deleted regardless of the position of the block delete character.
For details on the block delete feature, see chapter 7.
To activate the block delete feature, your system installer may have
installed a switch corresponding to a block delete number (see
documentation prepared by your system installer), or use the
{FRONT PANEL} softkey. If you use the {FRONT PANEL} softkey, only block
delete 1 (/ or/1) is available.

7.1.2
When the MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION LOCK is made active, the
control displays M-, second auxiliary functions (B-codes), S-, and T-codes
Miscellaneous Function
in the part program and activates the corresponding Tool Wear Offset,
Lock
except for M00, M01, M02, M30, M98, M99, and M100-M199.
M100-M199 are process synchronization codes for dual-process systems.
To activate the MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION LOCK feature, your
system installer may have installed a switch corresponding to the
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION LOCK feature (refer to documentation
prepared by your system installer), or use the {FRONT PANEL} softkey
(chapter 3.3).
7.1.3
Use this feature to cause automatic program execution to stop after a
Sequence Stop {SEQ STOP}
specified block. This block is determined by assigning its sequence
number (N-word) as the sequence stop block. This sequence number may
be entered before or after part program execution begins. If this sequence
number is entered after program execution begins, it must be entered
before the control has executed that block. If it is not entered before the
block is executed, it is ignored and execution continues as normal.
Automatic execution stops after the sequence stop block is completed. The
control is placed in cycle stop. To resume execution from the current
position in the program, press the <CYCLE START> button.
Important: Once you enter a sequence stop number for a program, it
remains active for all programs that are executed until it is replaced with a
different sequence stop number, or power is lost. Not entering a value for
the sequence stop number or entering a value of zero results in the
sequence stop function being canceled.
If you call a subprogram or macro that also contains a sequence number
