Program and Subroutine Structure

Single-axis Program Structure

•

PROGRAM definition statement

. It must be the first line of the program. It must

identify the program number and axis number. The program number has a space between

the PROGRAM keyword and the number. In contrast, the axis number must not have a

space within it. For example:

PROGRAM 1 AXIS3

•

Body

. The program body contains the actual program commands. Note that in a single-

axis program, you must not specify an axis number in any of the commands. Doing so will

generate an error. An example of correct syntax for a single-axis program is:

ACCEL 50000

•

End of Program

. Uses the ENDPROG statement. This statement clearly identifies the end

of the program and helps separate one program or subroutine from another. The

ENDPROG should be the only thing on the last line of any program:

ENDPROG

Single-Axis Program Example

Note that the axis number is specified in the first line and is not specified in the program body.

Note also, that there is no space in the term AXIS1.

PROGRAM 2 AXIS1
