Abstract
An 'open loop' programmable machine tool control system is provided for a microprocessor controlled machine (12). An operator control program is entered into the microprocessor from a control panel (10) by a machine operator standing along side the machine (12). The machine (12) is controlled by first setting motion limiter cams (82), and then entering the control program as a series of sequential steps. The program is entered by activating and/or deactivating certain machine function push buttons on the control panel. The microprocessor then executes the control program, displaying the program on the control panel during its execution. The control program is edited by displaying the control program step to be edited on the control panel, and then activating and/or deactivating machine function push buttons until only desired machine functions are displayed. The edited step is then reentered into the microprocessor.
