Abstract
A numerical controller displays a plurality of blocks constituting a machining program on a screen, and sequentially carries out prior reading on the blocks, and then executes the blocks to control a machine. This numerical controller has a skip function for skipping the execution of the blocks; if there is a block to be skipped within blocks which have already been read in advance, the display attribute of the block to be skipped is changed.
Claims5
A numerical controller which reads in advance a plurality of blocks constituting a machining program sequentially, analyzes and then executes the blocks to carry out numerical control of a controlled machine, wherein
- the numerical controller has a program display function for displaying the machining program including the plurality of blocks on a display, and a skip function for skipping execution of the blocks;
- and
- the numerical controller comprises a display attribute changing means for changing the display attribute of a block to be skipped when said block to be skipped is found within the blocks which have already been read in advance.
