NUMERICAL CONTROLLER HAVING AMBIGUOUS RETRIEVAL FUNCTION IN PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a numerical controller such that even a beginner can easily retrieve an intended code.SOLUTION: A numerical controller includes: an ambiguous keyword storage area for storing ambiguous retrieval information that is constituted by associating an ambiguous keyword, which is a keyword that directly writes no word used in a processing program, with a retrieval phrase; an ambiguous retrieval condition input section for receiving an ambiguous retrieval instruction including an ambiguous keyword; an ambiguous retrieval execution section for preparing a retrieval expression on the basis of the ambiguous retrieval instruction received by the ambiguous retrieval condition input section and the ambiguous retrieval information stored in the ambiguous keyword storage area to retrieve a processing program using the retrieval expression; and a retrieval results display section for displaying retrieval results by the ambiguous retrieval execution section.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
