3 WRITING, COMPARING OF C LANGUAGE PROGRAM TO MEMORY CARD
Replace “IV.8.1 I/O Screen”
3.1 I/O Screen
When the soft-key [I/O] on the PMC main menu screen is pressed, the following screen appears.
On this screen, sequence programs, PMC parameters and C language program can be written to
the specified device, read from the device, and compared. The question selection cursor, which
moves vertically from one question to another, is displayed, as is the option selection cursor, which
moves horizontally form one option to another. The displayed soft-keys differ depending on the

position of the question selection cursor.
The following types of devices can be used for input/output. The desired device type can be
selected by positioning the question selection cursor to “DEVICE” and the option selection cursor to
that type or by selecting the soft-key corresponding the type.
MEMORY CARD Data can be output to and input from a memory card.
FLASH ROM Data can be output to and input from flash ROM
FLOPPY Data can be output to and input from handy files or floppy cassettes.
OTHERS Data can be output to and input from other input/output devices.
When you read a file form an I/O device, one of the following messages appear and whether to
continue the operation is confirmed.
Sequence program:
THE FILE CONTAINS LADDER PROGRAM. PROCEED TO READ IT ?
C language program:
THE FILE CONTAINS C LANGUAGE PROGRAM. PROCEED TO READ IT ?
PMC parameters:
THE FILE CONTAINS PMC PARAMETER. PROCEED TO READ IT ?
Others:
UNKNOWN FILE FORMAT
When you proceed to read a sequence program or a C language program, the ladder program
stops automatically. When you proceed to read PMC parameters, new PMC parameters will be
stored even if the ladder program is running.

WARNING
1. If a Ladder program or a C language program is input while a Ladder program is being
executed, the execution of the Ladder program and the C language program stop
automatically. You have to pay special attention to stop Ladder program. Stopping Ladder
program in a wrong timing, or with machine in improper status, may cause unexpected
reaction of machine. You have to make it sure that machine is in proper status, and nobody
is near the machine when you stop Ladder program.
2. At stopping Ladder program, it may take rather long time to completely stop it in some
cases according to the activity of Ladder program. If Ladder takes too long time to stop, or
never stop, correct Ladder program, following instructions in section ”B-61863E II. PMC
OPERATION (CRT/MDI) 7.6.2.5 How to correct LADDER program that never stops”.
3. If the PMC parameters are input while a Ladder program is being executed, You have to
pay special attention to input it. Because changed PMC parameters may cause
unexpected effect to Ladder, you have to make it sure that PMC parameters does not
affect the Ladder when you input PMC parameters.
4. Set bit 1 of keep relay K900 to 0 when the machine tool is shipped.

In STATUS area in the lower part of the screen, a detailed explanation of execution and the
execution status are displayed. During write, read, and comparison, the size of the data already
transferred is indicated as the status of the execution. The following gives a display example
shown when PMC parameters are written to a memory card:
NOTE
1. The [I/O] soft key is displayed by setting bit 1 of keep relay K900 to 1.
2. For an explanation of error messages on I/O screen, see section B-61863E 12.1.9, ”I/O
screen Error Messages”.
3. The message “C LANGUAGE” is not displayed when the C language board is not
installed

FORMAT: Formats a memory card.
CAUTION
When “FORMAT” is selected and executed, all data in the memory card is lost. Be careful
when executing this function.
When you read a file from a memory card, one of following messages appears and whether to
operate the important thing is confirmed.
Sequence program:
THE FILE CONTAINS LADDER PROGRAM. PROCEED TO READ IT?
C language program:

3. If the PMC parameters are input while a Ladder program is being executed, You have to
pay special attention to input it. Because changed PMC parameters may cause unexpected
effect to Ladder, you have to make it sure that PMC parameters does not affect the Ladder
when you input PMC parameters.
4. Set bit 1 of keep relay K900 to 0 when the machine tool is shipped.
• KIND OF DATA
KIND OF DATA is displayed only when “WRITE” is selected for “FUNCTION.”
Set the type of data to be output by moving the cursor horizontally to that type or by pressing
the corresponding soft key.

• FILE NO.
FILE NO. is displayed only when “READ,” ”COMPARE,” or “DELETE” is selected for
“FUNCTION.” Enter the file number in the edit box.
• FILE NAME
FILE NAME is displayed when “WRITE,” “READ,” “COMPARE,” or “DELETE” is selected for
“FUNCTION.” Enter the file name in the edit box.
When “READ,” “COMPARE,” or “DELETE” is selected for “FUNCTION,” the file name
corresponding to the file number entered in “FILE NO.” is displayed automatically.
The file name must be in MS–DOS format: a file name of up to eight characters followed by
an extension of up to three characters. When “WRITE” is selected for “FUNCTION” and the
file name is not entered, the following names are automatically assumed.

CAUTION
When both “FILE NO.” and “FILE NAME” are displayed at the same time, and a value is
entered for “FILE NO.” and another file name is entered in “FILE NAME,” the value entered
in “FILE NO.” is erased and the file name entered in “FILE NAME” becomes effective.
Explanation of soft keys

[EXEC]: Executes the function selected for “FUNCTION.” During execution, the soft key
disappears and the [CANCEL] soft key appears to the right of the key.
[CANCEL]: Cancels the execution of the function. When the function terminates normally, the
soft key disappears.
[LIST]: Replaces the current display with the memory card list screen. See Section B-
