• Page 14: Program Types

  SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS Program Types For OSP-P200L, three kinds of programs are used: schedule programs, main programs, and subprograms. The following briefly explains these three kinds of programs. Schedule Program When more than one type of workpiece is machined in continuous operation using a bar feeder or other equipment, multiple main programs are used.

• Page 15: Program Name

  SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS Program Name With the OSP-P200L, programs are called and executed by designating the program name or program number assigned to the beginning of individual programs. This simplifies programs. A program name that contains only numbers is called a program number.

• Page 16: Sequence Name

  5238-E P-3 SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS Sequence Name All blocks in a program are assigned a sequence name that begins with address character «N» followed by an alphanumeric sequence. Functions such as a sequence search function, a sequence stop function and a branching function can be used for blocks assigned a sequence name.
