"PATH" file

Load instructions
for cycles
Command syntax
6-18
If an NCK file with a LOAD instruction is to be loaded, the file is initially
searched for in the specified workpiece or, if no workpiece name has been
specified, in the current workpiece. If the file is not found, a search is made in
the workpiece indicated in the optional file PATH under the section [Path]:
name=path
Name designates, for example, the part program name (e.g. MPF100) of the
load instruction; path the entire disk drive path in which the file "name"is
stored. With this redirection function it is possible to load NCK files from any
computers in the network into the NCK memory transparently.
Loading part program MPF4711 from workpiece WELLE1:
LOAD WELLE1 MPF4711 L F or
LOAD LOCAL/WELLE
The file PATH with the following entries exists in workpiece WELLE1:
[path]
mpf4711=h:\network\parts\welle2
mpf3933=m:\partprg\motor
Part program MPF4711 is loaded in the specified network path.
Note
The PATH file is not searched if wild card characters are used.
LOAD WELLE1 * L F (load all NCK files)
LOAD . * L F
In Example 2 the file PATH is not searched.
LOAD WELLE3 MPF[10,99] L F
LOAD LOCAL/WELLE3
In Example 3 the file PATH is also searched.
The LOADCYC instruction can be used to load one or more cycles from the
CYCLE-USER and/or CYCLE-STANDARD directories into the part program
memory of the NCK.
These files can be given additional attributes in the NCK memory to prevent
overwriting. This is especially useful for preventing OEM applications from
accidentally overwriting or deleting important programs (cycles) in the NCK
memory.
LOADCYC STANDARD|USER
The following identifiers can be used for "name":
SPFn (a cycle)
6FC5198-6AA60-0BP1
MPF4711 L F
MPF[10,99] L F
name [attr.] L F
