Machine Data, Modes and Traversing Programs IP 266
5.4 Elements of the Traversing Program
A traversing program is a cohesive sequence of traversing operations, dwells and
corrections. It consists of individual blocks comprising at least one self-contained,
purposeful job.
The traversing programs are stored in the IP 266's RAM, and can be executed as a
whole with mode 8 or block by block with mode 9.
A traversing program is divided into three main parts:
%33 Test program
N1 G25 X300.000 F2000 M10
N2 G04 F1000
N3 X200.250 F1000 M30
N4 G00 X120.000 M40
N5 M02
Program header (see Section 5.4.1)
Traversing blocks
(see Section 5.4.2)
Termination block; end of pro-
gram (see Section 5.4.3)
A traversing program must comprise at least a program header and a termination
block.
A traversing program may contain no more than 1023 ASCII characters. The num-
ber of traversing programs is limited to 250.
The IP 266 provides 7K bytes RAM for traversing programs.
