If the capacity of your NCK work memory is already close to being
exhausted, you can also have G-code programs executed from the
hard-disk or from diskette/USB/network-drives (e.g. USB memory
stick).
The entire G code program is not loaded into NC main memory before
it is executed, but only the first part of it. Subsequent program blocks
are then continuously reloaded as the first part is executed.
When executing from the hard-disk or diskette/USB/network-drives,
the G-code Program remains saved on them.
Sequential control programs cannot be executed from the hard-disk or
diskette/USB/network-drives.
Open the Program Manager.
Place the cursor on the directory that contains the G code
program that you want to execute from hard disk.
Press the "Input" or "Cursor right" key.
The program overview is displayed.
Place the cursor on the G code program that you want to execute
from hard disk (without "X").
Select the "Continue" and "Execute HD" softkeys.
ShopTurn now switches to "Machine Auto" mode and loads the G-
code program.
Press the "Cycle Start" key.
The machining of the workpiece is started (see Sec. "Machining a
workpiece".) The program contents are continuously reloaded into the
NCK work memory as the machining progresses.
