How to Loop a program in DNC - Fadal

[impexio]

Hello,
I'm running a fadal via DNC (program is too big) and I need to figure out a way to set this up so that I just hit the start cycle button in order to repeat my program. Right now I have to go to the computer and re-send the program. I am using mastercam X5 editor to send the program. Can anyone help me?

One solution might be to copy multiple instances of your program into one long program with the instances separated with "M0". remove any code that will loop the program (m30 and maybe m02). For safety have several mo's so that it will require more than one press of the button. Also, there are devices that will let you call a program from the control so that you can start the download from the machine tool.
