Predator DNC uses a Remote Request to initiate program transfer from the NC. The operator never has to go near the PC. Also, when the operator wants to save the program from the CNC, he/she just PUNCHes the program.

PUNCHING
Is it possible that every program that is punched will be saved in it's own file and under same name as program number is?

READ (INPUT)
Is there any explanation how remote request works, and what features there are?

Is it possible that I push INPUT button just one and I send few programs (in single file or multiple files?) at a time, with one INPUT? This is not related to remote request. This is for Fanuc 0M

Predator has a Remote Autoname that will automatically name the program (usually with the O number) when saving the program to the PC.

You have a Remote Request program as follows:

%
O8001 (PREDATOR REMOTE)
(LOAD O1234)
M30
%

The operator PUNCHes that program, then prepares the control to READ.
After a preset delay Predator sends the requested program (in this case O1234) to the CNC.

Is it possible that I push INPUT button just one and I send few programs (in single file or multiple files?) at a time, with one INPUT? This is not related to remote request. This is for Fanuc 0M

The Remote Request program can contain multiple LOAD commands:

%
O8001 (PREDATOR REMOTE)
(LOAD O1234)
(LOAD O1235)
(LOAD O1236)
M30
%

Predator will send all three programs.

Predator will send all three programs.

So do I need to push INPUT button for every of these programs, or it can be done with only one INPUT push?

That is only question that remained unanswered.

Thank you very much for help.

Predator will send all the programs with one "INPUT" push. Your Fanuc control has to have parameters set to continue reading after M02, M30, or M99.

Yes, I found these parameters.
If I have all program without % at begining and at end of programs, first program that is sent is lost, not recognized.

If I have all programs with % at begining of it, transfer is terminated at begining of 2nd program (because of %).

SO, solution is that first program does have % at begining, others not.
Also if I put % at the end of last program that is sent, transfer will be terminated automaticaly. Otherwise I have to hit Reset button to stop transfer.

Since now I had all my programs and subprograms in this shape, in single files:

%
:1234
*
*
*
M30 or M99
%

Is there any solution for this?
