Job Names

[WiBa]

 
Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to specify job names with more than 8 digits on the Motoman NX100 Controller?

Direct quote from the NX100 manual:

Characters which can be Used for Job Names
Job names can be created from numbers and the alphabetical letters. The input display
can be switched between upper-case characters, lower-case characters, and symbols by
pressing the page key during the operation 5. Up to 8 characters can be used.

Thanks Ed. We name programs with with part no specific 8 digit names and save them to the controller, but then have to copy them and rename as a 4 digit no. because the Touch Screen Control Panel on the cell is only "set up" to recognise 4 digit names. Guess its a cell design/ intergartion problem.

Sounds like an integration problem all right, I have exactly the same issue in the cell I'm working with now, limited to 4 digits on jobs we actually want to run.

What system are you working with, I'm going theough a Beckhoff and Inverter.
