OPEN PROGRAM
Function:
Open a fixed motion program buffer for entry
Scope:
Port specific
Syntax:
OPEN PROGRAM {constant}
OPEN PROG {constant}
where:
{constant} is an integer from 1 to 32767 representing the motion program to be opened
This command causes Turbo PMAC to open the specified fixed (non-rotary) motion program buffer for
entry or editing on this port. Subsequent program commands valid for motion programs sent from this
port will be entered into this buffer. When entry of the program is finished, the CLOSE or CLOSE ALL
command should be used to prevent further lines from being put in the buffer.
entry or editing on this port. Subsequent program commands valid for motion programs sent from this
port will be entered into this buffer. When entry of the program is finished, the CLOSE or CLOSE ALL
command should be used to prevent further lines from being put in the buffer.
No other program buffers (PLC, fixed or rotary motion) may be open when this command is sent (Turbo
PMAC will report ERR007 if I6=1 or 3). It is a good idea always to precede an OPEN command with a
CLOSE command to make sure no other buffers have been left open.

CLOSE command to make sure no other buffers have been left open.
No motion programs may be running in any coordinate system when this command is sent (Turbo PMAC
will report ERR001 if I6=1 or 3). As long as a fixed motion program buffer is open, no motion program
may be run in any coordinate system (Turbo PMAC will report ERR015 if I6=1 or 3).
will report ERR001 if I6=1 or 3). As long as a fixed motion program buffer is open, no motion program
may be run in any coordinate system (Turbo PMAC will report ERR015 if I6=1 or 3).
PROGs 1000-32767 can be protected by password. If the PROG is protected by password, and the proper
password has not been given, Turbo PMAC will reject this command (reporting an ERR002 if I6=1 or 3).
password has not been given, Turbo PMAC will reject this command (reporting an ERR002 if I6=1 or 3).
After any fixed motion program buffer has been opened, each coordinate system must be commanded to
point to a motion program with the B{constant} command before it can run a motion command
(otherwise Turbo PMAC will report ERR015 if I6=1 or 3)

(otherwise Turbo PMAC will report ERR015 if I6=1 or 3)
Example:
CLOSE
; Make sure other buffers are closed
DELETE GATHER
; Make sure memory is free
OPEN PROG 255
; Open buffer for entry, disabling program
CLEAR
; Erase existing contents
X10 Y20 F5
; Enter new version of program...
...
CLOSE
CLOSE
; Close buffer at end of program
&1B255R
; Point to this program and run it

OPEN ROTARY
Function:
Open all existing rotary motion program buffers for text entry
Scope:
Port specific
Syntax:
OPEN ROTARY
OPEN ROT
This command causes Turbo PMAC to open all existing rotary motion program buffers (created with the
DEFINE ROTARY command) for entry with ASCII text program lines from this port. Subsequent
program commands valid for rotary motion programs sent on this port are entered into the rotary program
buffer of the coordinate system addressed at the time of that command.
