Re: New to the Okuma
Just started a new job and I have been running fanuc machines in those machines we are able to store multiple programs ... i can't seem to be able to figure out how to load multile programs at the moment the machine will only over write the current file
hy as a side note, there are folders ( or paths, or locations ) for storing programs and for current programs
just like on a regular pc, you can have the kit in folder <> final installation folder
such paths, on okuma, are refered to as system devices, and, during runing (auto mode), the control will try to read the data from the main system device and fill up it's buffer; to this device, files can be sent by network, generated/edited near the controller, etc; if main system device storage capacity is low, then is needed to drip/feed, thus sent data direct to machine buffer
i said those, because you made an analogy to fanuc as storing multiple files, and also you said that you sent data to your okuma via network; thus you can keep your programs whereever you like ( on pc, on nc ), as long as they don't stay inside the main system device ( or shared locations under same memory capacity, etc ), or sooner/later you may hit into free memory issues, and this is achieved sooner on elder machines; if you use network to sent data to main okuma device, then be sure to only have inside the nc folder the current program files, and no other previous jobs / kindly
