7.1 General instructions on programming
You must take the following into account when creating NC
programs:
 the operating mode in which you intend to use the
SPC200.
In Start/Stop mode all NC commands are supported. In
Record Select mode only positioning commands, posi
tioning conditions and commands for setting the posi
tioning quality class are supported.
 the number of fixed
starting programs.
If a single or multi−axis system is controlled by an

two independent work stations are controlled, a separate
starting program must be defined for each work station
(autonomous operation of two work stations).
