【Example】

 Example 1. FIG. 1 is a diagram of a numerical controller for executing the numerical controller of the present invention. The numerical controller 1 has a microprocessor (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 2, and the CPU 2 has a ROM 3 for storing a control program and data. RAM4 used for temporary storage of data, non-volatile memory 5 for storing processing programs and parameters, reader / puncher interface 6 for punching out processing programs, printer interface 7 for printing processing programs and CRT data. , A CRT device 8, a keyboard 9, a floppy loader 11 for using a floppy disk, and an axis control circuit 10 for driving and controlling a servo motor of each axis are connected by a bus 12.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the program memory 5a provided in the non-volatile memory 5. The program memory 5a has various program numbers (P1 to Pn), names (PN1 to PNn), and program data. (Pd1 to Pdn) are stored.

FIG. 3 shows a character string buffer when a character string to be searched is input character by character from the keyboard. For example, when the character string to be searched is “G32”, G key, 3 key, 2 key, input When the keys are pressed in that order, ASCII codes G, 3, 2, and return are stored in the character string buffer.

FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are process flows from program search to output and automatic operation. The operation of this embodiment will be described using this flow.

First, when the search screen is selected (step 401), the search screen is displayed (step 402). An example of the screen is shown in FIG.

If the search screen is not selected, the search process is not performed and another process is performed. When the key is entered on the search screen (step 403) and the cancel key is entered (step 404), the process ends. If no character string is input, the key input is waited again. When the search execution key is pressed after inputting a character string (step 405) (step 406), the search of the character string is started. When a character string is found in the program (step 407), the program number and name are set in the extracted data storage table shown in FIG. 12 (step 408) and displayed (step 409). If there is no specified character string in the program, search for the next program (step 410). Do this for all programs.

When the search is completed (step 411), the layout is displayed and the keys are waited (step 412). When the cancel key is input (step 413), the process is completed. Input the layout key (step 414) and select the required programs in order to edit (step 415). FIG. 11 shows an example of the layout display. The selected numbers are sequentially stored in the layout storage table shown in FIG. 13 (step 416), and the numbers are displayed (step 417). After that, when the key waits (step 418) and the data output key is pressed (step 419), the programs with the program numbers in the layout storage table are sequentially printed according to the type of output key: printout, punchout, floppy disk. Write to the disc (step 420). When the automatic operation key is pressed (step 421), the programs with the program numbers in the layout storage table are sequentially called and executed (step 422).

Next, the extraction process (step 407, step 408) for searching the character string from the program will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. First, as an initial process, the data reference position of the program and the data reference position of the input character string buffer are set at the beginning (step 501). If the data reference position of the program is at the end of the program (step 502), the extraction process ends. If the data at the data reference position of the program and the data at the data reference position of the input character string buffer are not the same character at the end of the program (step 503), the data reference position of the program is moved by one character (step 504). If the characters are the same, the data corresponding to the number of input characters in the input character string buffer is extracted from the data reference position of the program (step 505), and it is checked whether the extracted character string and the character string in the input character string buffer are the same (step 505). 506), if not the same, the data reference position of the program is moved by the number of input characters in the input character string buffer (step 507). If the character strings are the same, set the program number and name in the extracted data storage table (step 508).

Next, the layout means (step 415, step 416) for selecting only required program numbers searched will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. After pressing the layout key, enter the required program number (step 601). If the input program number is not in the extracted data storage table shown in FIG. 12 (step 602), the input is waited again. If there is a number, the number is set in the layout storage table shown in FIG. 13 (step 603), and the number is displayed (step 604).

Next, the search data output means (steps 419 and 420) for outputting the programs in the order of the laid out program numbers will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. Pressing any of the printer output key, punch out key, and floppy writing key (step 701) prepares the interface according to the mode (step 702, step 703, step 704), and number from the top of the layout storage table. One is taken out (step 705), and the program of that number is called from the program memory of FIG. 2 (step 706). When the program is transferred through the interface of each mode, printout, punchout, and write to floppy disk are performed (step 707). If the number is the last in the layout storage table (step 708), the process is terminated, and if it is not the last, the data in the layout storage table is shifted by one and moved to the next data (step 709).

Next, the search data operating means (step 421, step 422) for executing the programs in the order of the laid out program numbers will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. When the automatic operation key is pressed (step 801), one number is fetched from the beginning of the layout storage table (step 802), and the program of that number is called from the program memory of FIG. 2 (step 803). After that, the program is executed (step 804), and when the number is at the end of the layout storage table (step 805), the processing is terminated. If not, the data in the layout storage table is shifted by one, Move to the next data (step 806).
