Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electric discharge machine that is controlled by commands from a remote control box.

[Prior Art] Some conventional electric discharge machines are equipped with a remote control box having a plurality of switches. 2 In this case, NG
The device monitors the operations of the plurality of switches as needed, and when any one of them is pressed, the operation corresponding to the pressed switch is executed in the electrical discharge machine main body.

Here, what is the combination of the above switch and the action to be executed when this switch is pressed?

This is preset by the manufacturer.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the remote control box 40 includes a plurality of switches 41, 42, 43, 44, .
- and a switch 40a for moving the table up and down, left and right one front and back, and switches 41, 42, and 43 are provided.
These are switches that start the following operations: stopping the wire at the center of the hole, determining the position of the end face of the workpiece, and determining the inclination of the workpiece. When any of the above switches is pressed, the NC device 50 detects which switch has been pressed, and controls the electric discharge machine main body 30 to perform the operation corresponding to that switch.

The switch 40a in FIG. 3 is composed of front/back, left/right, and up/down switches, and while any one of them is pressed,
The table will move in the specified direction.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in electric discharge machines, the workpieces and machining methods have diversified, and users of electric discharge machines themselves have various know-how regarding machining methods. Processing is in progress.

However, the conventional device described above has a problem in that when a remote control box is used, the know-how developed by the user cannot be implemented.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electric discharge machine that allows a user to implement know-how developed by the user himself when using a remote control box.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is an electric discharge machine that starts a predetermined NC program in a user memory or a floppy disk in response to a command from a remotely controllable remote control box. The NC program in the corresponding user memory or floppy disk can be edited.

[Function] The present invention allows the user to edit the NC program in the user memory or floppy disk in response to commands from a remotely controllable remote control box. can be executed.

[Example] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The remote control box 1O includes a microcomputer 11 and a switch 12 having each of the switches ■, ■, ■...
, a display section 13, and a (10 baud) 14.

The NC device 20 is a CPU that controls the entire NC device 20.
21, a mechanical port 22, a RAM 23, a keyboard 24 composed of alphanumeric keys, a CRT 25, a ROM 26, and an FD device 27 for driving and controlling a floppy disk. The FD device 27 stores files AA, BB, . . . .

The CPU 21 connects the remote control box 10 to the switch 12.
When the I10 boat 22 receives the signal, the switch 1
2, one of the files stored in the FD device 27 is specified, and the specified file is transferred to the RAM.
23, and the electrical discharge machine main body 30 is controlled according to the file stored in the RAM 23.

Note that the files to be stored in the FD device 27 can be freely edited by the user by using the keyboard 24, the CPU 21, and the CRT 25 for displaying input data and the like.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, among the switches 12 in the remote control box 10,
When the switch ■ is pressed, the microcomputer 11 presses the switch ■
The information is sent from the I10 boat 14 to the I10 boat 22 of the NC device 20 via a communication line or bus. Engineering 1
Since the 0 boat 22 receives the information of the switch ■ from the remote control box 10, the CPU 21 searches the RAM 23 for the file AA corresponding to the switch ■.If the file AA is not stored in the RAM 23, the CPU 21 searches for the file AA corresponding to the switch ■. Search for file AA from , and write it to file AAIRAM23.

Then, the beginning of the file AA stored in the RAM 23 is determined, and the electric discharge machine main body 30 is caused to execute the contents of the file AA.

In the above embodiment, examples of the file AA include an operation for repeatedly performing one process, a vertical placement operation (an operation for placing an upper guide directly above a lower guide), and the like.

When the switch ■ is pressed, the file BB is read from the FD device 27, the file BB is stored in the RAM 23, and the contents of the file BB are caused to be executed by the electric discharge machine main body 30.

On the other hand, the operations corresponding to each of the switches 12 of the remote control box 10 are set as files, and the files are divided into N
It can be edited freely using the editing function of the C device 20. In other words, the keyboard 24, CPU 21, and CRT 2
5 can be used to edit existing files and create new files. The file edited and created in this way is saved on the user memory or floppy disk.

In this way, since the file can be edited, know-how developed by the user can be registered as a file in the FD device 27,
By associating each switch constituting the switch 12 in the remote control box 10 with the above file, the user can implement the know-how developed by the user himself when using the remote control box.

In the above embodiment, only the fact that the switch 12 of the remote control box 1° has been pressed is notified to the NC device 20. For example, by pressing switch 2, specifying file AA, and then pressing another switch, an operation to advance the X axis by 10 mm, for example, may be specified.

That is, when the switches ■ and ■ in the switch 12 of the remote control box 10 are pressed, the microcomputer 11 sends the information of the switch ■ and the parameter of the switch ■ via the communication line or pass line. , C.P.
When data enters the I10 boat 22, the U21 stores the corresponding file BB in the RAM 23 or FD.
The file BB is searched from the device 27 and the contents of the file BB are executed. At this time, file BH has a file configuration in which the flow of operations changes depending on the parameters of switch @.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the file BB. H00
0 = +000000, and if Hooo is 1 (if the parameter of switch ■ is 1), proceed to N100O, and if the above HOOO is other than 1 (if the parameter of switch ■ is other than 1), proceed to N2000. Proceed to.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, when the remote control box is used,
This has the effect that the user can implement the know-how developed by himself/herself.
