Abstract
A memory other than a non-volatile memory in a numerical controller is divided into a plurality of memory areas in response to a command from a computer connected to the numerical controller. Whether a machining program has been stored in each of the divided memory areas is decided before a machining program stored on a hard disk in the computer is transferred to the memory other than the non-volatile memory. The machining program stored on the hard disk is then written to an area for which it is determined that no machining program is stored.
