Abstract

PURPOSE:To edit a working program peculiar of a user by providing a user display data table storing an address menu being the function of a G-code which the user can use and a graphic pattern. CONSTITUTION:When a keyboard 1 is operated and the G-code is inputted, an effective G-code extraction means 6 judges from an effective G-code table 4a and extracts the effective G-code 7. A display data table selection means 11 selects an NC display data table a or a user display data table 13 from the effective G-code 7. A display data table search means 8 retrieves the graphic pattern and the address menu concerned from the table 9 or 13 based on the extracted effective G-code 7 and a pointer which a pointer setting means 12 sets, and displays them in CRT 2 through a video output means 10. Thus, the address menu and the graphic pattern, both of which correspond to the G-code which the user does not use are displayed and correspondence to working peculiar of the user is attained even if the G-code is inputted.

In the numerical control device configured as above, the machining path and movement amount of the axis are calculated based on the above address menu and graphic pattern, so the following will explain the specific values before inputting them manually. perform an action.

For example, if you operate the keyboard (2) and input Gol, the Canadian program editing means (4) reads the signal, reads the corresponding program from the program storage means (3), and saves it in the editing buffer (5>). Then, based on the saved program, if the input G code is a G code in the valid G code table (4a) shown in FIG.

If there is a mark, go beyond the human-generated G code and read Figure 9 (a).
) and (b) and the graphic pattern shown in FIG. 9 are displayed on the CRT (1).

However, for example, if you operate the keyboard (2) and input G111, the display data table means (8) will be N.
The corresponding address menu and graphic pattern are searched from the C display data table (9>), but as explained in Fig. 8 above, the address menu and graphic pattern corresponding to the G111 code (21) are not stored. As shown in Fig. 11(b), G1
11 code (2()), cursor (17), program creation and editing area <15>, and graphic pattern and address menu display area (18)L are not displayed, so the user cannot see, for example, the G111 code (21) in FIG. ) was released, the user could not use it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional numerical control device as described above, even if an unused G code is released to the user, the address menu and graphic pattern corresponding to the G code are not stored. Since menus and graphic patterns are not displayed, there is a problem in that it cannot support users' own G codes.

This invention was made to solve this problem, and even if the user manually writes the G code that is not used,
The object of the present invention is to obtain a numerical control device that can display an address menu and a graphic pattern corresponding to the G code and can support user's own processing.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A numerical control device according to the present invention outputs and displays a manually entered G code on a display by operating a keyboard, and also outputs and displays the G code from a valid 651 table stored in advance. In a numerical control device that determines whether a code is a valid G code, and if it is a valid G code, selects a standardized address menu and graphic pattern corresponding to that G code from an NC display data table and displays it on a display. , a user display data table that stores the G code used by the user, a user display data table that stores the graphic pattern and address menu that serve as standard functions based on the G code, and a user G code for selecting the user display data table for each area. It is determined whether the user G code is stored in the storage means from the user G code stored in the storage means and the valid G code output from the valid G code extraction means, and if the valid G code is the user G code, the user display data chill pull selection means for outputting a signal informing the G code area; data pointer setting means for setting a data pointer based on the output signal from the display data table selection means; and NC based on the effective G code and data pointer.
The display data table search means includes display data table search means for outputting the standardized address menu and graphic pattern of the display data table or the address menu and graphic button of the user display data table to the display device.

[Operation] In this invention, when a G code is input manually by operating a keyboard, it is determined whether the input G code is a valid G code from a pre-stored valid G code table.

If the valid G code is a valid G code, the display data table selection means determines whether the valid G code is a user G code stored in the user G code storage means. Outputs a signal indicating the code area.

Then, the data pointer setting means sets the data pointer based on the output signal from the display data table selection means.

Then, the display data table search means outputs the standardized address menu and graphic pattern of the NC display data table or the address menu and graphic pattern of the user display data table to the display device based on the valid G code and the data pointer.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a numerical control device showing an embodiment of the present invention, and (L) to (10) are similar to FIG. 6 of the conventional example.

(11) is a display data table selection means, and the effective G
Based on the G code extracted by the code extraction means (6>), it is determined whether it is a user G code, and the NC display data table <9> and the user display data table (13) to be described later are displayed.
This is to select.

d is a correction number.

Further, this address menu can be set arbitrarily by the user.

FIG. 2(c) is a diagram illustrating graphic pattern display. This figure shows the address menu shown in Figure 2 (b).
It is displayed by x Yy Zz Dd.

FIG. 3(a) is a diagram explaining the macro list. In the figure, (1, 5) is the number of the input user G code, (1B) is the input program number, and (17) is the number of the input user G code. It's number one on the menu.

FIG. 3(b) is a diagram illustrating the data area of the user display data table (13).

In the figure, (17) is the same as in FIG. 3(a), (18) is a text data area, (+9) is a graphic data area, and (20) is an address menu area.

The operation of the numerical control device configured as described above will be explained using the drawings.

For example, if a G code is entered manually by operating the keyboard (1), the Canadian program editing means (4) reads the G code, saves it in the editing buffer (5), and then writes the corresponding program to the Canadian program editing means (4). 3) is saved in the editing buffer (5), and the manually entered G code is output to the video output means (10>).

Then, the video output means (10) displays the G code in a predetermined area of the CRT (2).

If the G code manually generated from the G code table (4a) similar to FIG. 8 in the above explanation stored in the effective G code extracting means (6) is the G code according to FIG. It is extracted and output to the display data table selection means (11).

Then, the display data table selection means (11) selects the NC display data table (9) or the user display data table (13) from the valid G code, and
Read the address area of the menu number 1 input as a parameter to be described later. A data pointer setting means (12) sets a corresponding pointer from this area.

Then, the display data table search means (8) searches the NC display data table (9) or the user display data table (13) based on the extracted valid G code (7) and the set pointer, and searches the corresponding graph ink pattern and Search the address menu and select the video output method (
10) to be displayed on the CRT (2).

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for manually inputting parameters for the user G code.

When the parameter key (not shown) on the keyboard (1) is input, the program editing means (4) displays the macro list (
4c) is called up and displayed on the CRT (2) (Sl).

Then, it is determined whether the user G code has been input (S2)
, if it is manually performed, the user's G code is stored and displayed in the corresponding display area (S3). In this case, assume that G111 is input.

] 6 Next, it is determined whether the program number (16>) for creating address menu data based on the manually entered G code has been input (S4). ) and memorize it, and display that number in the corresponding display area (S
5). In this case, the program number is set to 09991.

Next, it is determined whether the menu number 1 (17) in the area for creating address menu data in the user display data table ((3)) was entered manually (S6), and if the number was entered manually, the number is memorized and the corresponding It is displayed in the display area of C RT (2) (S7).

Then, in the corresponding area, the function table of the user G coat shown in Fig. 2(a), the address menu shown in Fig. 2(b), and the
C) graphic pattern data is created in C language and stored (S8).

Data used by the user is stored through this manual parameter processing.

FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b) are flowcharts for explaining the present invention in detail, and explain the operation when the G code is input manually.

For example, if G11 is input while the standard screen is displayed on the CRT (2), the Canadian program editing means (4) clears the standard screen (S501).

Then, the manually entered G code is read, and the G code is output to the video output means (10) and displayed in the corresponding area of the program creation/editing area (15) (S503).

Then, a cursor is displayed immediately after the displayed G code (S504).

Next, the Canadian program editing means (3) saves the G code in the editing buffer (5) (5505), reads the C language program of the G code from the Canadian program storage means (3) (S507), and edits the program. Buffer (5
) (3509).

Then, when the G code is extracted from the editing buffer (5) (S51.I), the effective G code extraction means (6)
651 table in Figure 7 (4a
) (3513).

Next, from the G code table in FIG. 8 of the above explanation, the G
If the code is valid, it is determined whether it is a user G code from the G code table (4a), and the NC display data table (9) or user display data table (13) is determined. Decide whether to select (
S517). In this case, since G111 was input, it is determined to be the user G code.

Next, if it is determined that it is a user G code, the address of the area of the first menu number inputted as a parameter to store the G code is read (8519), and the data pointer setting means (12) sets the pointer corresponding to that area. is set (3521). In this case, a pointer corresponding to the area of menu number 1 is set.

Next, the display data table search means (11) searches a predetermined area of the user display data table (13) from the stored valid G code (7>) and the pointer 5523.
), it is determined whether there is an address menu corresponding to the G code (S525). In this case, since the address menu shown in FIG. 2(b) explained above is stored, it is determined that there is an address menu, and the address menu is read (S527). If it is determined that there is no address menu, control is transferred to step 5529.

Then, it is determined whether a graphic pattern is stored (8529). Next, if a graphic pattern is stored, read the corresponding graphic pattern (8
531). If it is determined in step 5529 that there is no graphic pattern, the control is shifted to step 5533.

Next, if it is determined that there is a graphic pattern, the read graphic pattern and address menu are output to the video output means <10) (3533). In this case, the address menu shown in Figure 2 (b) and Figure 2 (C
) outputs a graphic pattern.

Next, the video output means (10) displays the address menu and the graphic pattern in the graphic pattern display area (18) of the CRT (2) (3535).

Then, based on the displayed graphic pattern and address menu, it is determined whether the numerical value of the editing editor to be processed has been input (8537), and the graphic pattern and address menu that serve as the reference for step 8535 until the processed 0 data is input manually. Display.

Next, if the processed data is manually edited, a processed program is created based on the processed data (8539).

Then, it is displayed on the CRT (2) based on the Canadian program (8541).

Next, determine whether any other G codes are displayed in the program creation/editing area of CRT (2) (8548)
. In this case, since only the G111 code is displayed, it is determined that no other G codes are displayed.

If it is determined that no other G code is displayed, it is determined whether there is an input using the input key (not shown)5545
), if there is no input, it is determined whether there is a human input signal from the previous page key (5547), and if it is determined that there is no input, it is determined whether there is an input signal from the next page key (not shown) (8549).

If there is no input signal from the next page key, control is transferred to step 5541, and the Kanji program edited with the processed data is displayed.

If it is determined in step 5517 that it is not a user G code, the address of the area of the menu number 1 of the G code of the NC display table (9) is read (S535), and a pointer to the read address area is set ( 8537). Then, the display data table search means <11> searches a predetermined area of the NC display data table (9) from the stored valid G code (7>) and the pointer (S539).
).

Furthermore, if, for example, a plurality of G codes are input to CRT (2), it is determined in step 8543 that there are other G codes.

Then, a cursor is displayed at the position immediately after the next G code (S551).

Next, it is determined whether an edit command signal to edit the G code where the cursor is displayed was input manually 8551), and if it is not input, it is determined whether the cursor movement command signal is input 5555). Control is transferred to step 5551 and the cursor continues to be displayed after the next G code.

Next, if a cursor movement command signal is input, the cursor is displayed behind the corresponding G code based on the command signal (8557).

Further, if the editing command signal is input manually in step 5553, control is transferred to step 5505, and the predetermined processing described above is executed.

Further, if it is determined in step 8515 that the G code is not valid, steps 5505, 5509, and the extracted G code are cleared (3580).

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an image displayed on a CRT by the processing operation of the present invention.

In the figure, (15) to <21) are the same as those in Figure 8 above, (23> is the same address menu as in Figure 2 (b) above, and (24) is the same as in Figure 2 (C) above. It has a similar graphic pattern.

Therefore, it is possible to display the address menu and graphic pattern that serve as the standard for the Canadian program corresponding to the user G code as shown in this figure, and it is now possible to use the user G code, which has not been used in the past, as a user's own Canadian program area. Become.

3. In the above embodiment, the graphic pattern and the address menu are created using the C language, but in the present invention, any language that can create the graphic pattern and the address menu may be used instead of the C language.

Furthermore, the user G code is exemplified as G111 -r
As described above, the code does not have to be the G111 code, but may be the user G code, for example.

Furthermore, although the graphic pattern and address menu are illustrated as star shapes, for example, conventional graphic patterns and address menus may be stored in correspondence with user G codes.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to this invention, the user can use
It has a user display data table that stores address menus and graphic patterns that are functions of the code;
The area for the address menu and graphic pattern is set using a data pointer and then called from the user display data table and displayed. Therefore, the address menu and graphic pattern corresponding to the user's own G code can be displayed. The effect is that the Canadian program can be edited.
