Numerical control device with display e.g. for machine tool or robot

摘要

The device allows programming of application programs (A) using Windows (RTM) (AF), menus (ML) and command switching surfaces (BS). The programs run on the processor of a numerical control device (NS). The soft keys (T1,T2,T3) of the numerical control are automatically activated with the switching surfaces. The soft keys are displayed in a window. The displayed window option is activated in the application window by pressing one of the keys associated with the soft keys.
