hi all

i have a question regarding 9000 series programs.

i run a daewoo puma 350m 3 axis lathe, with a fanuc 18t controller. the machine's build date is 2000

my question is, do the 9000 series program numbers have to refer to a specific function?

or to put it another way, if there is in memory, a program numbered o9001, which is say, a dwell routine, could i overwrite this with another program o9001, which records the position of the tailstock?

the reason i aks, is that i have a training course reference book, which shows programs for different functions, but having the same numbers.

now i realize that there can only be one program in memory with the number o9001 at any time, but i am wondering if the numbers are function specific

thanks in advance for any replies

best regards, axis
